Darier disease is a genetic skin condition that typically develops in late childhood or early adulthood. Exact symptoms vary, but it involves scaly, greasy, and coarse skin lesions or blemishes. Affected sites include face (scalp margins, forehead, ears, around the nostrils and sides of nose, eyebrows, and beard area), scalp and neck, central chest and back, skin folds, such as armpits, groin, under the breasts, and between the buttocks. It can also affect nails. It is due to an abnormal gene that is involved with calcium transportation inside cells. It may be precipitated by environmental factors like heat or light, infections, or certain steroid medications.
Typical Symptoms of Darier Disease
- Skin over the entire body is red
- Change in nail color
- Rough patches in the mouth or genitals
- Skin redness or red bumpy rashes
Diagnostic Questions for Darier Disease
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Is your whole body red?
- Did your nail color change?
- Do you have any rough patches in your mouth or genital area?
- Do you have red skin or red spots?
Treatment of Darier Disease
The disease usually lasts for life and has no cure. Medication, either taken orally or applied, can help. Moisturizers and adequate sun protection are sufficient for mild cases.
