Abstract

Friction melanosis is a darkening of the skin that can be diffuse or mottled, produced by repeated mechanical irritation to the skin in specific areas. This article analyzes the main clinical manifestations of friction melanosis, which differ from other types of pigmentations. This is a descriptive documentary study that theoretically analyzes the clinical manifestations of friction melanosis in order to easily differentiate it from other pathologies that correspond to pigmentations in the skin. The analysis shows that there are different types of clinical manifestations for this type of melanosis, which are summarized in: physical and morphological manifestations, internal organic manifestations, histopathological manifestations, psychological manifestations, among others. It is concluded that it is important to know the clinical picture of friction melanosis in order to differentiate it from other types of pigmentations or melanodermias, especially contact dermatitis, acanthosis nigricans or cutaneous amyloidosis; similar pathologies in terms of most physical and morphological manifestations but different in terms of etiology and organic and histopathological manifestations; so they must be treated differently. So, having clear the clinical picture of friction melanosis, would facilitate its accurate diagnosis and the administration of the most appropriate treatment.
