Generalised Dowling-Degos Disease: A Rare Variant with Hypopigmented Macules

Dowling Degos disease is characterised by hyperpigmented macules arranged in a reticulate pattern in the flexures. The rare hypopigmented variant shows characteristic acanthosis with antler like rete ridges but with pigment only at the tips of the rete ridges. We describe here a rare variant with coexistence of characteristic reticulate hyperpigmentation and hypopigmented macules, which has bee...

Galli-Galli Disease: A Rare Acantholytic Variant of Dowling-Degos Disease

Galli-Galli disease is a rare acantholytic variant of Dowling-Degos disease, with few cases reported in the literature. We describe a case of Galli-Galli disease and review the literature.
