Terra firma-forme dermatosis is a skin condition that resembles dirt on the skin but cannot be washed off with soap and water. It is believed to be caused by a buildup of keratin on the skin's surface. The condition can be effectively treated with gentle exfoliation using a washcloth or a mild exfoliating scrub.
