Abstract:

Terra firma-forme dermatosis (TFFD) is a recently described cutaneous pigmentation disorder. It is|a bizarre, acquired and idiopathic dermatosis and is characterized by brown, dirt-like discoloration|that cannot be removed by bathing with water or rubbed off with routine detergent soap, but can be|removed by isopropyl alcohol. A 20-year-old male came for treatment of chickenpox. Incidentally|we observed multiple hyperpigmented plaques on the trunk and back, which disappeared on rubbing|with isopropyl alcohol. He had normal washing habits and lesions disappeared after scrub bath. We|propose scrub bath as one of the treatment modality.
