Darier disease – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/643994486

Darier disease is a keratinization disorder characterised by the development of keratotic papules in seborrhoeic areas and specific nail anomalies. Skin lesions include greasy and coloured (yellow-brown or brown) keratotic papules, which may be isolated or grouped forming plaques that often become infected and malodorous, and are responsible for major discomfort. Palms and soles frequently exhibit small pits or punctate keratoses that are specific for Darier disease.
