We report on a child with a divided or kissing nevus of the penis with benign symmetric globular pattern on dermoscopic examination that evolved into a globular‐reticular pattern after 1 year of follow‐up. Divided nevus of the penis is exceedingly rare, with only four cases with dermoscopic findings reported to date. Dermoscopy seems to be useful when deciding on the most appropriate management of these cases.
