Darier’s disease, dermoscopy, hyperkeratosis, pseudocomedones, acantholysisAbstract
We herein present a case of patient affected with Darier’s disease along with dermoscopic findings to raise awareness of importance of dermoscopy in non-invasive diagnosis of this disease. It allows specialists to differentiate the condition from other disorders with similar clinical and histopathological pictures, such as Grover’s disease, Hailey-Hailey disease and seborrheic dermatitis.
