Juxta-clavicular beaded lines

Australas J Dermatol. 2006 Aug;47(3):204-5. doi: 10.1111/j.1440-0960.2006.00274.x.

Abstract

We present a case series of 63 patients diagnosed with juxta-clavicular beaded lines. This condition is more frequent in dark-skinned people and corresponds to an anatomical variant of simple sebaceous hyperplasia. In view of the strong reactivity of the melanocytes in dark-skinned people, and of the possible hypochromic results, no treatment is advised.
