Pigmented transverse nasal band/groove is an asymptomatic benign condition, characterized by the development of erythematous to hyperpigmented, well-demarcated, transverse groove at the junction of middle and lower two-third of the nasal dorsum. Although the pathogenesis is unclear, embryologic origin seems to be the most plausible hypothesis. This condition is often associated other related dermatological conditions such as milia, comedones, seborrheic dermatitis and atopic dermatitis. Diagnosis is mostly clinical, while reassurance is the mainstay of therapy. In persistent cases, topical retinoids have been used. In this article, we have reviewed the different aspects of this condition including treatment, along with the recent updates to create awareness about this dermatological entity.

“…Located at the border of the middle and lower third of the nose, a transverse nasal crease can present with a wide clinical spectrum ranging from a faint erythematous line to a hypopigmented groove with a depth and width of several millimeters. 1 Cornbleet 2 first described the transverse nasal crease in 1951. He reported it as a peculiar transverse angulation crossing over the junction of the middle and lower thirds of the nose, a finding he reported in 5 girls.…”
