Abstract
Dowling-Degos disease is a rare autosomal dominant genodermatosis with a genetically determined disturbance of epidermal proliferation. The clinical symptoms of Dowling-Degos disease are characterized by the acquired reticulate pigmented anomaly of the flexures. We report a case of Dowling-Degos disease in a 27-year-old female, who presented with numerous small, hyperpigmented macules in reticular pattern, localized to the axillae, inframammary and inguinal areas, popliteal fossa, neck, and face.
