Abstract

We present a case of reticulate hyperpigmented patches symmetrically distributed on the arms of a 13- year-old boy that appeared after a summer seaside vacation. The lesions were easily wiped off with isopropyl alcohol, confirming the diagnosis of terra firma-forme dermatosis. Dermatologists should be aware of this relatively common skin condition.
