Treatment
Medical Care
No specific treatment exists for dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis (DPR), except for symptomatic management of some of the associated conditions, such as palmoplantar hyperkeratosis. For hyperkeratosis, topical retinoic acids and keratolytics may be beneficial. Nonscarring blisters are generally transient and self-healing. Cold compress may suffice.
Activity
Advise patients with dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis to avoid sun exposure, which may trigger blister formation.
