LOURIDO, S; MONTEAGUDO, B  and  MOSQUERA, A. Terra Firma-Forme Dermatosis. Rev. argent. dermatol. [online]. 2020, vol.101, n.1, pp.11-20. ISSN 1851-300X.

We report a typical case of a Terra Firma-Forme Dermatosis in a 13-year-old healthy male recently seen in the Dermatology Department of our hospital. The aim of the authors is to show clinical features of this frequently misdiagnosed and underreported dermatosis causing concern and anxiety in the patient as well as unnecessary diagnostic tests. Its diagnosis is clinical supported by dermoscopy and its simple treatment presents few recurrences.
