Linear skin lesions: The commonest linear lesions on these areas would be epidermal nevi particularly ilven and also lichen striatus.Inflammatory linear with blisters would suggest herpes zoster, followed by a plant contact dermatitis or a phytophotodermatitis from a photosensitising sap or juice eg limes.A tender thrombosed vein on the chest wall is known as mondor's disease.
