title: Mudi-chood: an unusual tropical dermatosis.
abstract: Mudi-chood is an unusual dermatosis seen in India. It affects the nape of the neck and the exposed part of the upper back in girls and young women. It is characterized by mildly pruritic pigmented papular lesions. It probably represents the comedogenic activity of various oils applied to the hair, which is aggravated by the typical climatic conditions. We present three cases of mudi-chood.
