| description | Dowling-Degos disease (DDD) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by acquired, reticulate hyperpigmentation in flexural areas. It is a rare condition with very few cases reported in the literature.

We describe the case of an Indian female presenting with classical clinical, dermoscopic, and histological features of DDD. |
