TLDR Dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis causes skin discoloration, hair loss, and nail problems.

Dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis is a rare ectodermal dysplasia characterized by generalized reticulate hyperpigmentation, noncicatricial alopecia, and onychodystrophy. A case study of a 21-year-old woman exhibited these symptoms along with palmoplantar keratoderma and poorly developed dermatoglyphics, without involvement of other ectodermally derived organs.
