A case of localized Darier's disease.
A case of localized Darier's disease was reported. The patient was a 36-year-old Japanese woman, and hyperkeratotic papules in zosteriforme arrangement were persistently noted on the left forehead since the age of 20 years. Histological appearance was same as in classical Darier's disease. Skin atrophy due to long-term application of corticosteroid ointment was observed. Aromatic retinoid ointment was effective in the treatment of the lesions. The literature on localized Darier's disease is reviewed.
