Abstract |
Dowling-Degos disease ( DDD) is a rare inherited pigmentary disorder characterised by reticulate pigmentation at flexural sites. No treatment modality has yet been established as a definitive method for the effective elimination of lentigines in DDD. We present a case of a 24-year old woman with DDD treated successfully using intense pulsed light as a novel management strategy.
