    invisible skin patterns from embryonic cell migration

    Blaschko's lines are invisible patterns on human skin that become apparent in certain skin conditions or diseases. These lines represent the pathways of embryonic cell migration and are typically V-shaped on the back, S-shaped on the abdomen, and wavy on the head and extremities. They are not usually visible under normal conditions but can become evident in disorders like lichen planus or epidermal nevi.
