Article Synopsis
- Dowling-Degos disease (DDD) is a rare genetic skin condition that leads to distinctive brown pigmented lesions and scars, particularly in flexural areas such as the back, neck, and face.
- A 51-year-old male patient displayed various symptoms including comedo-like lesions, pitted scars, and widespread hyperpigmented macules, suggesting a familial link as his father and brothers had similar issues.
- Skin biopsies revealed specific histopathological features typical of DDD, such as dilated follicular projections and pigmentation changes, confirming the diagnosis.
