Abstract
In this review we illustrated the case of a woman who had perimenstrua l exacerbations of Darier-White disease. The disease improved markedly with the use of continuously administered oral contraceptives. This s triking improvement without side-effects supports the use of oral cont raceptives in women with Darier-White disease, although its role shoul d be investigated further using controlled studies in more patients.
