Recently, Kim et al. reported that they successfully treated the hyperpigmented lesions of DUH with a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. Only a few cases of DU have been reported worldwide, and we could find only three cases in the Korean literature (Table 1). Particularly, adult-onset DU like our case is very unusual. Thus, we here report a case of DU occurring in a 29-year-old female patient with no family history.
