Abstract

Dermatitis neglecta, a relatively uncommon condition, results from inadequate frictional cleansing leading to accumulation of sebum, sweat and corneocytes. It ultimately results in hyper-pigmented patch (or sometimes verrucous plaque). Proper diagnosis is important because recognizing this condition avoids unnecessary diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Here we report one classical case of dermatitis neglecta in whom the dermatitis developed as a result of neglect of personal hygiene.
