Summary Galli‐Galli disease is usually characterized by reticulate hyperpigmentation of the flexures. Rare patients may present without this finding, instead having only localized erythematous papules and brown, lentigo‐like macules on the trunk and extremities. Histological changes consist of elongated and in part hyperpigmented rete ridges and areas of acantholysis.
