Clinico-epidemiological Study of Dermatitis neglecta in a tertiary care centre in southern India

Abstract

Background: Dermatitis neglecta is an uncommon disorder, characterized by asymptomatic 
hyperpigmented verrucous plaques adhered with flakes and scales in an inadequately cleansed area 
caused by neglect or inadequate hygiene in skin care. It is of diagnostic importance to reduce 
unnecessary interventions and burdens to patients.
