Do anyone have Ashy Dermatosis?
I was diagnosed with Ashy Dermatosis (erythema dyschromicum perstans) a few months ago after battling with skin rashes, itching, and hyperpigmentation of dark brown spots all over my arms and neck. I’ve been dealing with this for 2 years. I’ve tried pimecrolimus, triamcilone, and oral steroids with no relief. Recently was prescribed Dapsone it seems to be helping. I still get the rashes but when they heal they no longer leave the post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark brown spots) behind that normally would appear.

I have never heard of Ashy Dermatosis! But I have the same thing. The scars that are left are dark, like a bruise. The derm said it was a reaction and would fade away but weird. Thank goodness for this Mayo Connect! I am seeing the same thing I have that nobody can figure out or treat.
