Purpura Eczematidae-like

Eczema purpura toidum (purpura ducasoidum, ducas purpura) is a rare skin disease characterized by the appearance of purple spots on the skin of the face and neck, reminiscent of eczema in shape.

Eczematoid purpura was first described in 1875 by French dermatologist Jean-Louis Doukas, who called it “eczema purpurea.” However, this disease has many other names, for example, Doukas purpura, leproid purpura, mycotic purpura, etc.

The main cause of eczematous purpura is a hereditary predisposition to this disease. Some environmental factors may also play a role, such as exposure to ultraviolet rays, allergies, infections, etc.

Symptoms of eczematoid purpura are purple spots on the skin that can come in different sizes and shapes. They usually appear on the face, neck, arms and legs. The spots may be painful and itchy, but usually do not cause much discomfort.

Treatment for eczematous purpura can vary and depends on the cause of the disease. In some cases, it is enough to simply avoid exposure to factors that can cause the disease. In other cases, local and systemic medications such as corticosteroids, antihistamines and others may be used.

Eczematous purpura is a rare disease that requires careful study and treatment. If you have any symptoms of this disease, you should see a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.
