AB  - The  trunk  is  a  general  term  for  the  core  body  region  including  the  chest,  abdomen,  flanks,  and  back.  Excluding  the  V-neck  and  upper  back,  most  of  the  trunk  is  covered  by  clothing,  and  thus  is  less  exposed  to  sunlight.  Therefore,  photo-aggravated  or  photo-induced  dermatoses  can  frequently  be  seen  on  the  upper  chest  and  upper  back,  but  typically  spare  the  rest  of  the  trunk.  On  the  other  hand,  the  lower  trunk  is  more  commonly  involved  with  dermatoses  related  to  clothing.  Clothing  may  incite  rashes  due  to  allergic  contact  dermatitis  from  chemicals  in  the  clothing,  soaps,  dryer  sheets,  and  laundry  detergents.  Clothing  also  may  create  a  warmer,  humid  environment  ideal  for  the  development  of  diseases  such  as  folliculitis,  acne,  and  tinea  versicolor.
