Ashy dermatosis (AD) or erythema dyschromicum perstans (EDP) is a type of hyperpigmented macules characterized by asymptomatic, gray macular lesions with a symmetrical distribution. Some of the predisposing factors for ashy dermatosis are intestinal parasitic infections, a bad environment such as consumption of ammonium nitrate, X-ray contrast media and genetic factors such as the HLA-DR4 allele. The clinical manifestations of ashy dermatosis are hyperpigmented or gray macules with slow progression and pigmentation abnormalities in the inner epidermal layer. The differential diagnosis of ashy dermatosis is with lichen planus pigmentosus, idiopathic eruptive macular pigmentation, and Riehl's melanosis. Diagnosis of ashy dermatosis needs to be linked between clinical findings and histopathological examination, other supporting examinations and differentiating it from other differential diagnoses. Management for patients with ashy dermatosis is with topical or systemic agents. For now, a combination of laser and tacrolimus ointment is recommended.

“…Ashy dermatosis is typically asymptomatic, although atypical lesions can be accompanied by a peripheral erythematous border, pruritus or scaling. While the etiology of ashy dermatosis is currently unknown, numerous predisposing factors have been described, including parasitic and viral infections, ingestion of ammonium nitrate, orally administered X-ray contrast media, drugs such as ethambutol, fluoxetine, chlorothalonil and omeprazole [5].…”
