Symptoms of Ulertem ophriogenic include: - red spots on the skin resembling a venous hematoma - peeling of the skin in the affected areas - painful sensations when touched
The main risk factor is skin trauma (mechanical, chemical, thermal) or exposure to ultraviolet rays. Also, the disease can occur with long-term use of retinoids to treat acne.
Treatment of Ulertem ofriogenic depends on the form of the disease, the degree of damage and the individual characteristics of the patient. In mild cases, the use of topical anti-inflammatory drugs such as creams and ointments may be sufficient treatment.
