Darier disease is a genetic skin condition that usually develops in late childhood or early adulthood. Exact manifestations vary, but it involves scaly, greasy and coarse lesions/blemishes on the skin. It may be triggered by environmental factors (heat or light), infections, or certain steroid medications.
Skin over the entire body is red
Skin redness or red bumpy rashes
Change in nail color
Rough patches in the mouth or genitals
Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose darier disease
Do you have skin redness over the whole body?
Do you have red skin or red spots on the skin?
Has your nail color changed?
Do you have any rough patches in your mouth or genital area?
The disease usually persists for life and has no cure. Medication (taken orally or applied) can help. Moisturisers and adequate sun protection are sufficient for mild cases.
