@KMCMLR_Path @DermPathPro @JMGardnerMD @dermatology @DermpathI @TheDermEditor @ASDPTweets @Dermpathl @IntSocDermpath @JAMADerm So this was diagnosed as a case of ashy dermatosis (erythema dyschromicum perstans), which is a chronic pigmentary disorder presenting as greyish-blue macules on the trunk.

[Dr. Shalini Radhakrishnan, MD, Assoc. MAMS @shalinirkr21]

Upon the canvas of a youthful frame,
I leave a smoky, ashy stain,
Basal cells weakened, pigment cold.
A lichenoid band you may detect,
With melanophages in its effect.
Inflammation mild, a scattered crew,
Guess who I am; can you see through❓
