Telangiectatic dermatitis
Dermatitis is a disease that manifests itself in the form of redness, irritation and itching of the skin. Telangiectathiatic dermatitis (abbreviated as TVED or TIN) is a form of dermatitis that is characterized by the formation of red spots on the skin when exposed to sunlight. The most common sites for telangiectatic dermatitis are the face, arms and legs. Sometimes it can be observed on the neck and chest, as well as on the back and shoulders. This form of dermatitis can be caused by hereditary predisposition, immunodeficiency conditions, exposure to ultraviolet radiation and certain medications. It is important to remember that if you have telangistatic spots on the skin, you should consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and appropriate treatment. In this article, we will look at detailed information about telangistiatic dermatitis.
History and diagnosis
This type of dermatitis is also known as “blood freckles.” It was first described in the early 20th century by dermatologist Professor Robert Warren and was called "dermatitus teleangectothotes" - "a leathery red-brown patch with itching that appears on the neck, around the eyes or on other parts of the body." Telangiectatic spots can occur on the scalp, eyebrows, eyelids and temples. They occur in response to ultraviolet radiation, especially if the skin is dry or damaged. Later, the study was revised to be more detailed and the term “telangiectatic rash” was used instead of “dermatitis telangeutototes.”
