    TLDR Clofazimine effectively treated a rare skin condition with ash-gray patches.
    The document reports on a case of ashy dermatosis, a rare skin condition characterized by ash-gray patches, treated successfully with clofazimine. A 46-year-old man with a history of gray-bluish-colored macules with an erythematous border on his trunk and upper thighs showed significant improvement after six months of clofazimine treatment, with no new lesions appearing. The case supports the therapeutic efficacy of clofazimine for ashy dermatosis, which has been treated with various other drugs with variable results. Clofazimine's benefits may be due to its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory actions. No commercial support was identified for this study.
