Although melanocytic nevi have a relatively uneventful course throughout their existence, some may develop an inflammatory reaction known as the Meyerson phenomenon.

However, it has since been observed in both pigmented and non-pigmented lesions, thus expanding the description from Meyerson nevus to the phenomenon. We report a case of an unusual Meyerson phenomenon arising from a congenital melanocytic nevus characterized by a weeping eczematous response.
