Hereditary fibrosing poikiloderma with tendon contractures, myopathy, and pulmonary fibrosis (POIKTMP) is characterized by the skin findings of poikiloderma (typically beginning in the first six months and mainly localized to the face), hypohidrosis with heat intolerance, mild lymphedema of the extremities, chronic erythematous and scaly skin lesions on the extremities, sclerosis of the digits Poikiloderma of Civatte is mainly a cosmetic condition that causes brown and reddish spots on your neck and cheeks. It may show some improvement with medicated creams and laser and light therapies. The best thing you can do to prevent this and other more serious skin issues is to protect your skin from the sun. Consistent use of sunscreen "Poikiloderma" is a morphologic and descriptive term referring to a combination of cutaneous atrophy, telangiectasia, and varied macular pigmentary changes that result in a mottled skin appearance. Its etiology includes both congenital and acquired causes. Many studies have reported different causes of acquired poikiloderma; however, no single well-defined classification has been explored Poikiloderma of Civatte is a chronic and irreversible condition. The hyperpigmentation of the skin can cause cosmetic disfigurement and responds poorly to available treatments. References. Goldman MP, Weiss RA. Treatment of poikiloderma of Civatte on the neck with an intense pulsed light source. Plast Reconstr Surg. 2001 May;107(6):1376-81. These modalities work by reducing pigmentation, and smoothing the textural irregularities of the skin condition, producing an overall rejuvenated appearance for the neck, décolletage and chest. Once the poikiloderma is under control, maintenance skincare products, sun protection and light therapy can help maintain ongoing skin quality.
