“…Dermatosis neglecta, denominated so for the first time in 1995 by Poskit et al , 1 is an entity that derives from the progressive accumulation of sebum, sweat, keratin, cellular debris and exogenous impurities, resulting in papules, polygonal plaques and hyperpigmented adherent, localized, verrucous lesions, symmetrically distributed mainly on torso, shoulders and neck, which may be cleared with some difficulty with soap and water, and completely removed with alcohol. 1 - 3 Lesions originate from a lack of or inadequate cutaneous cleaning and exfoliation, either by neglect or as a result of some disability. 1 Some authors cite motor or sensory impairments, pain/hyperesthesia and immobility secondary to trauma, surgery or nerve palsy as the main triggers.…”

Dermatosis neglecta is the name of a skin condition characterized by papules and polygonal plaques, which are sometimes warty, brownish and hyperpigmented, adherent and symmetric, though removable with ethyl or isopropyl alcohol. It occurs due to inadequate skin cleansing causing accumulation of sebum, sweat, keratin and impurities. Its occurrence, though little reported, is frequent. The main differential diagnosis is the Terra fi rma-forme dermatosis. The treatment is simple, with exfoliation, moisturizing and even rubbing of alcohol. Causes of negligence on the patient’s side, which can range from hygiene carelessness to psychiatric disorders, local hypersensitivity, limbs negligence or motor paralysis, should be investigated. We illustrate the case of dermatosis neglecta in a 45-years old patient admitted with pulmonary sepsis.

“…Lezyonlar su ve sabun ile ovalanarak temizlenememekte, yalnızca %70'lik etil veya isopropil alkol ile basınç uygulayarak silindiğinde gerilemektedir (3) . TFFD literatürde az sayıda olgu bulunsa da pratikte sıklıkla karşılaşılan ve genellikle yanlış tanı alan bir hastalıktır (5) . Bu makalede, daha önce Akantozis nigrigans tanısı ile takip edilen 15 yaşındaki TFFD olgusu sunulmuştur.…”

“…Lezyonların kahverengi-gri renkte kirli görüntüsü ve deriden hafif kabarık olması, pek çok hastalıkla ayırıcı tanıya girmesine neden olmaktadır. Özellikle çocukluk çağı ve erken adolesan dönemde görülmesi, sıklıkla boyun-gövde yerleşimi ve %70'lik isopropil alkolle lezyonların gerilemesi TFFD tanısı konulmasında önemlidir (5) . Etiyolojisi tam olarak bilinmemektedir.…”
