Dermatopathy Pigmented Reticular

Dermatopathy pigmentosa cribriformis is one of the rarest skin diseases. The disease was first described by the French physician Oberst in 1845. Dermatopathy consists of small spider veins of blue and purple color. It appears most often on the arms and legs, less often on the face, chest and back. To identify pathology, it is necessary to conduct computer diagnostics of the vascular system. During treatment, immunocorrectors, vitamin complexes, hormone therapy, and skin treatment with antiseptic drugs are used.

Description This is a very rare disease associated with a pathological reaction of the body to changes occurring in the skin. Numerous small flesh-colored or bronze-colored lesions, convex, similar to small freckles, are located on the forearms, thighs, hands, feet, extensor surfaces of the lower leg, lower legs and buttocks. The surface of the lesions is smooth, shiny, sometimes slightly flaky, and is not subject to inflammation or itching. Most often, pinpoint droplets of blood are present. This is observed during periods of hormonal changes. In children, the disease is most often caused by a viral infection. The disease usually does not cause physical suffering other than aesthetic discomfort. The occurrence of the disease is significantly influenced by disturbances in vascular tone. Therapy includes the use of drugs to strengthen capillaries and improve microcirculation.
