Abstract:
Darier's disease is an autosomal dominant disorder of keratinization that can produce unique clinical manifestations. Oral and topical retinoid products have been the mainstay therapy for this population, but local as well as systemic side effects often limit their effectiveness. A case of localized Darier's disease is presented that responded promptly and with no side effects to the topical application of adapalene 0.1% gel. A review of treatments for Darier's disease is presented.
