label_lc: flaky paint dermatosis
description: "A dermatosis characterized by generalized shiny, enamel-like, hyperpigmented scales in an irregular pattern. The scales may peel or desquamate, rather like old, sun-baked blistered paint, often with areas of underlying hypopigmentation. This has led to the terms peeling paint or flaky paint dermatosis (See the Figure in PMID:24285001)."
