In a background of nevus sebaceous, LPLK in an attempt of regression of trichilemmoma.

Nice theory suggested by Dr Eman.
Another theory:
The new growth could be a wart with focal trichilemmoma like area and focal attempt at regression.
I got this impression from the scanning magnification (silhouette) of the lesion and from the presence of dilated elongated capillaries in dermal papillae. I am not sure of the koiliocytes though :-))

I like Mona's theory: common wart with trichilemmoma-like area arising in a sebaceous nevus.

Great job. Nevus sebaceus with verruca vulgaris/trichilemmoma and area of inflammation/regression.

Dr. Uma, when you write "verruca vulgaris/trichilemmoma" you mean that both verruca vulgaris and trichilemmoma are present or that either verruca vulgaris or trichilemmoma is present, but is impossible to decide which one?
