Davener’s dermatosis with cobblestone pattern: A rare finding
Davener’s dermatosis, a rare and often underreported condition, primarily affects individuals who engage in prolonged periods of repetitive motion or pressure against the skin. It usually presents with hyperpigmented patches but can appear as lichenified plaques due to chronic friction. We report a case with frictional hypermelanosis along the spinous processes in a thin-built woman.
