Dermoscopy in the Diagnosis of Darier’s Disease: A Precise Approach

Abstract

Darier’s disease, a rare genetic condition with autosomal transmission that alters keratinization, clinically manifests as pruritic keratotic papules, mainly localized on seborrheic areas. Due to the similarity in presentation with other pathologies, dermoscopy plays a crucial role in diagnostic orientation. We report two observations of patients with Darier’s disease, highlighting distinctive dermoscopic structures, such as brownish polygonal areas surrounded by a whitish halo, thus contributing to a more accurate diagnosis.
