Cutaneous reticulosis is a disease characterized by the appearance of small bumps on the skin that may be red or brown in color. They appear as a result of inflammation of the capillaries and small vessels of the skin.
The causes of skin reticulosis can be different. Most often this is skin damage due to thermal, mechanical or chemical influences. The cause may also be infectious and allergic inflammation of the skin. If reticulosis is observed in the form of rashes throughout the body, then experts suspect the presence of primary syphilitic angiitoma. With this disease, blood circulation is impaired, which is a consequence of the penetration of the pale spirochete into the body. Rarely does this type of reaction occur to medications.
