Abstract:
Keratosis follicularis squamosa(Dohi) is an acquired keratinizing disorder , which is particularly common among Japanese and rarely reported in other countries . It is characterized by multiple small brownish atrophic patches with follicular plug and collarette scales on the trunk and thighs . The scaly patches, which look like lotus leaves on the water as described by Dohi in the first report, is very characteristic. We report a case of keratosis follicularis squamosa(Dohi) in a 39-year-old woman, who showed a clearance of the skin lesion after 4-week minocycline administration.
