Abstract

Erythema dyschromicum perstans (EDP) is an acquired disease
presenting as ashy dermatosis comprising blue–grey pigmented patches
over the neck, trunk, and extremities. The pigmentation may become
disfiguring when present for a long time. The aetiology of EDP is unclear,
and there is no defined treatment or established therapy. EDP has a
presentation mimicking lichen planus pigmentosus, idiopathic eruptive
macular pigmentation, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, fixed
pigmented erythema, Addison’s disease, and hemochromatosis. All
these pigmentation disorders make the diagnosis and treatment of
EDP quite challenging. No treatment for EDP has been universal, and
combination treatments have worked in different cases to cure this
disease.
