Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I believe that I have dermatosis neglecta. I have not showered for one month. I usually take shower once in one or two months. I have gained a lot of weight in the past three years. So, doing normal things such as showering becomes a difficult task. My current medication is Accutane and Jolivette for birth control. How to get this treated? Please explain me.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your concern.

Dermatosis neglecta is a condition that results from inadequate frictional cleansing leading to the accumulation of corneocytes, sebum, and sweat. It ultimately results in hyperpigmented patch or verrucous plaque. As this disease can be easily treated by simply scrubbing with soap water and alcohol either passively or actively.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
