“…The treatment of DN is based on reinforcing hygiene measures. Gentle rubbing with soap and water or saline-soaked moist gauze could be sufficient in all patients; however, forceful scrubbing with isopropyl alcohol or topical keratolytic agents, such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, urea, or retinoids, is essential in severe cases ( 23–25 ). Proper psychological evaluation and management should also be considered in some patients.…”

Dermatosis neglecta (DN) is a frequently underrecognized skin disorder that occurs due to unconscious or conscious neglect of self-cleaning, causing the accumulation of keratin, sweat, sebum, and impurities. It is characterized by asymptomatic yellowish-to-brownish, waxy, adherent papules or plaques with cornflake-like scales that mimic several dermatological conditions. DN awareness is crucial for avoiding unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures. Its lesions can be removed with some difficulty by ordinary cleansing and efficiently cleared with ethyl or isopropyl alcohol. Individuals with underlying physical or mental disabilities or psychiatric conditions are highly associated with DN. Nevertheless, supportive evidence for the coexistence of DN and psychological conditions is sparse, and most individuals with mental problems usually deny having psychiatric issues. Here, we present a case of DN resembling pemphigus foliaceus on the face with obsessive–compulsive disorder in a 16-years old male. The definitive diagnosis of DN in this patient was confirmed via histopathological examination. The lesions completely disappeared after appropriate facial cleansing and psychiatric management. DN may reveal underlying psychiatric disorders in patients.

Dermatosis neglecta (DN) is a frequently underdiagnosed and under‐reported dermatological entity, which occurs due to unconscious neglect of self‐cleaning in individuals with some underlying physical or mental pathology. The lack of cleaning leads to accumulation of scales, dirt, sweat and sebum compacted together in the skin. Owing to its asymptomatic nature, diverse background and deceptive clinical presentation, DN is often missed or misdiagnosed by physicians. Awareness and recognition of this condition is essential to avoid unnecessary diagnostic and treatment procedures. The focus of this review article is to provide insights into this condition. We also intend to develop an algorithm for practical approach to a clinical diagnosis of dirt‐like dermatoses with reasonable accuracy. A few interesting cases of DN encountered in our institution are included in this article.
