Abstract

Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) is a state of undernutrition with various cutaneous manifestations. It is widely studied in children but is common yet neglected in adults. We report two adult cases of flaky paint dermatosis due to PEM, along with a description of their dermoscopy features. This paper intends to create awareness about these cutaneous changes amongst physicians and our fellow dermatologists for early recognition of PEM in adults.
