“…The most recent report by Ford et al (4) closely resembles this case. It concerns a full‐term female infant with a history of dermatographism, urticaria, angioedema and “sensitive skin” who developed erythematous raised bands.…”

Raised linear bands of infancy is a newly recognized but rarely reported entity whose etiology remains unknown. Some cases have been associated with dermatographism and it has been postulated that the bands may be related to an increase in collagen deposition and fibrosis from increased mast cell mediators. This is the first reported case of raised linear bands responding to treatment with a topical antihistamine.

“…Raised linear bands of infancy have been reported in five previous cases (1–4). Two of the five cases were associated with premature infants with a history of either amniotic bands (1) or placental tears (3) and an association between the linear bands and amniotic band syndrome has been postulated.…”

“…Differentiating ARBI from sock‐line bands can be difficult, but in the former, the eruption may also involve other sites, including the trunk and upper limbs, and is persistent and progressive. Additionally, associated findings, for example, amniotic bands in utero, limb constrictions, and defects along with pregnancy complications such as placental abruption, pre‐eclampsia, and prematurity, have been reported with ARBI …”

“…Con esta última entidad hay bastante confusión en la bibliografía, ya que por su similitud parece que lesiones compatibles con hiperpigmentación de la línea del calcetín han sido inicialmente clasificadas de forma errónea como bandas adquiridas de la infancia. Las bandas adquiridas de la infancia se caracterizan por ser palpables, asimé-tricas, orientadas en cualquier ángulo y no hiperpigmentadas, y por localizarse preferentemente de forma proximal en la extremidad [3][4][5][6] . La peculiaridad de este caso es la aparición de varias lesiones en relación a las zonas de presión por diferentes modelos de calcetines, lo que apoya la estrecha relación postraumática de esta entidad 7 .…”

Sock-line hyperpigmentationLa hiperpigmentación de la línea del calcetín es una entidad adquirida benigna de la infancia. Las lesiones suelen aparecer entre los tres meses y los dos años de vida y son asintomáticas. Se caracterizan por ser hiperpigmentadas, lineales o circunferenciales, unilaterales o bilaterales, y por presentar una distribución horizontal con localización preferente entre el tobillo y la rodilla. El diagnóstico diferencial incluye lesiones secundarias a maltrato, hiperpigmentación lineal o curvilínea de la infancia y bandas adquiridas de la infancia. Presentamos el caso de una lactante de seis meses con lesiones en ambas piernas, con la peculiaridad de la aparición de varias lesiones en relación a las zonas de presión por diferentes modelos de calcetines, lo que apoya la estrecha relación postraumática de esta entidad. Aunque no se conoce el mecanismo fisiopatológico exacto, se postula la inflamación de la dermis o paniculitis secundaria a la presión del elástico del calcetín, que cicatriza con cambios postinflamatorios.Sock-line hyperpigmentation is a benign and acquired condition in infants. The lesions usually appear between the third month and the second year after birth and are asymptomatic. The defining characteristics of such lesions are the hyperpigmentation, linear or circular, unilateral or bilateral, and the horizontal distribution, preferentially located between ankle and knee. The differential diagnosis includes secondary wounds to physical abuse, linear or circular hyperpigmentation in infants, and acquired raised bands in infants. We introduce the particular case of a six month old-breastfeeding baby with wounds in both legs that show different reactions to the different level of pressure arising from dissimilar sock models, what supports the tight posttraumatic connection of this condition. Although the precise physiopathologic mechanism is unknown, the inflammatory reaction in the dermis or secondary paniculitis to the pressure coming from the elastic bands of socks that heal with postinflammatory changes can be argued.Cómo citar este artículo: García Reymundo M, Reymundo García M.
