          Abstract

          Dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria (DUH) is a rare genodermatosis reported initially and mainly in Japan. However, subsequent cases have been reported from other countries. We report a case of DUH in a south Indian woman with a positive family history with cosmetic disfigurement and severe psychological impairment.
