Abstract

Eccrine nevi are rare lesions characterized by a sharply demarcated area of localized hyperhidrosis. We present an 11-year-old girl with an eccrine nevus on her right lower forearm. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case successfully controlled with topical glycopyrrolate wipes.
