“…It was first introduced by Poskitt et al [3] in Etiology of this entity is yet to be fully explored. Inadequate cleansing and improper hygiene in an area of immobility, pain, hyperesthesia, prior trauma, and surgery leading to inadequate exfoliation of skin are supposed to be the precipitating factors [4]. The ultimate outcome is accumulation of sebum, sweat, keratin, and other dirt in the form of localized hyper pigmented patch or a verrucous plaque with adherent, corn flake-like scales.…”

“…La cause de la DTS est inconnue. Elle pourrait être due à un trouble de la kéra-tinisation avec rétention de mélanine et accumulation de sébum, de sueur, de cornéocytes et de micro-organismes, conduisant à un défaut de desquamation et à la formation de lésions pigmentées d'aspect sale [3]. Le rôle de l'exposition solaire a également été proposé [4], mais les cas décrits à l'appui de cette hypothèse correspondaient plus à une véritable dermatose de négligence secondaire à un défaut d'hygiène sur des zones hyperalgiques.…”

“…Elle est asymptomatique mais peut entraîner un retentissement psychosocial important. L'aspect sale de la peau ne doit pas faire poser à tort le diagnostic de dermatose de négligence ou dermatitis neglecta [3], les patients relatant toujours une hygiène normale ou parfois de vigoureux lavages et brossages inefficaces. La DTS peut être source d'errance diagnostique, amenant notamment à la réalisation de tests endocriniens inutiles quand elle est confondue avec un acanthosis nigricans : dans la revue de Berk et al, sur 31 patients, 3 avaient subi des tests endocriniens [5].…”

“…1 There is currently some debate as to whether TFFD and dermatosis neglecta are the same entity; however, patients with TFFD generally have satisfactory hygiene habits, whereas dermatosis neglecta usually results from inadequate cleansing. 2 Delay in the maturation of keratinocytes-with melanin retention and a sustained accumulation of sebum, sweat and corneocytes in areas of the body where hygiene measures may be less rigorous-might explain the appearance of TFFD. Vigorous but unsuccessful attempts at cleaning the affected areas have previously been described in the literature.…”

“…Vigorous but unsuccessful attempts at cleaning the affected areas have previously been described in the literature. 2 Pathological examination of the plaques ethyl or isopropyl alcohol-although salicylic acidbased exfoliants or other keratolytic agents are sometimes recommended to accelerate normalisation of the skin. 7 Unfortunately, topical corticosteroids, antimycotics and retinoids are sometimes prescribed inappropriately for cases of TFFD.…”
