Galli–Galli disease is a rare inherited condition that has close resemblance clinically to
Dowling-Degos' disease, but is histologically distinct, characterized by
skin lesions that are 1- to 2-mm slightly keratotic red to dark brown
papules which are focally confluent in a reticulate pattern.
[James, William; Berger, Timothy; Elston, Dirk ''Andrews' Diseases of the Skin: Clinical Dermatology''. (10th ed.). Saunders. .] The disease is also characterized by slowly progressive and disfiguring reticulate
hyperpigmentation of the flexures, clinically and histopathologically diagnostic for
Dowling-Degos disease but also associated with suprabasal, nondyskeratotic
acantholysis.
