Darier centrifugal annular erythema (j. Darier) is a rare chronic skin disease characterized by the appearance on the skin of ring-shaped foci of erythema with peeling.
Main clinical manifestations:
-
Round erythematous lesions with a diameter of 1-5 cm with clear boundaries and a flaky surface appear on the skin.
-
Pallor or normal skin color is noted in the center of the lesions.
-
The lesions are located mainly on the trunk, neck and limbs.
-
The course is chronic, relapsing.
-
Itching of the skin in the affected areas is usually absent.
-
The causes of the disease are unknown, but a genetic predisposition is assumed.
To make a diagnosis, a clinical examination and histological examination of the skin are performed. Treatment is symptomatic and includes external therapy with keratolytic and anti-inflammatory drugs. The prognosis is favorable, although complete recovery, as a rule, does not occur.
