Abstract:
Darier disease (DD), which was also known as keratosis follicularis or Darier-White disease, is an autosomal dominant hereditary illness. The illness typically first manifests in adolescence and progresses as a woman reaches reproductive age. Research on the potential effects of DD on the skin and fetus, especially when it affects the groin and vulva, is insufficient. We report a unique case of multiple folliculitis encompassing the skin of the axilla, breasts, belly, and groin during pregnancy. This condition was associated with recurrent episodes of chronic DD that flared up during each pregnancy and was safely delivered vaginally.
