Dermatol Online J. 2011 Aug 15;17(8):3.

Abstract

Dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria (DUH) is a very rare genodermatosis characterized by generalized skin dyspigmentation. It is most common in Japan, but has also been reported in other parts of Asia, Europe, South America, and Africa. We report a case of a 44-year-old man born and raised in North America who presented with total skin discoloration since birth.
