Case report highlights comedone-like papules in genodermatosis, suggesting histopathology is critical for diagnosis.
Dowling–Degos disease (DDD) is an exceptional genodermatosis within the spectrum of reticulate pigmentary disorders, often challenging to diagnose due to its resemblance to other related conditions. We present a rare case of follicular DDD, clinically manifesting as comedone-like follicular papules, underscoring the importance of a thorough clinical examination and histopathology for accurate diagnosis and management.
