Background: Dowling-Degos disease is a rare genodermatosis disorder that presents as an autosomal dominant trait during late childhood or in adolescence and is also known as reticulate pigmented anomaly of flexures, Dowling-Degos-Kitamura, or dark dot disease. Dowling-Degos disease is characterized by acquired reticular hyperpigmentation, and manifests as a clustered or reticulated pattern mainly at flexural sites, especially in the folds of the skin with comedone-like follicular papules and pitted perioral scars.
