Abstract:
Segmental Darier's disease is a rare clinical variant of autosomal dominant Darier's disease (keratosis follicularis) exhibiting eruptions in a unilateral arrangement following the lines of Blaschko. It occurs in approximately 10% of patients with Darier's disease. We report two cases of type 1 segmental Darier's disease that appeared a few months after childbirth; in one case, recurrence of the disease occurred after tubal ligation.
