The erythema and telangiectasias in persons with poikiloderma of Civatte respond well to the flashlamp-pumped pulsed-dye laser (585 nm and 595 nm) [19, 20, 21] and to the potassium-titanyl-phosphate laser. [22, 23] Caution must be exercised because of the higher incidence of adverse effects, such as hypopigmentation and scarring, especially when treating the neck and chest. Characteristic findings on physical examination. Poikiloderma of Civatte is a combination of linear telangiectasia, reticulate hyperpigmentation and slight atrophy occurring most commonly in sun-exposed areas, including the sides of the neck, lower anterior neck, and "V" of the chest (Figure 1). Poikiloderma typically spares anatomically "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 develops progressively and disseminates from the extremities and neck to the entire skin surface. Sclerosing features of hands and feet, such as webbing, sclerodermiform appearance, or pseudoainhum occur with a variable degree of severity in patients (Figure 2). Atrophy and sclerosis lead to loss of dermatoglyphics (Figure 2). Skin areas with poikiloderma have a few things in common: The skin has areas that are both lighter and darker. There are small red blood vessels on the surface of the skin. These look like small Poikiloderma vasculare atrophicans (PVA), is a cutaneous condition (skin disease) characterized by hypo- or hyperpigmentation (diminished or heightened skin pigmentation, respectively), telangiectasia and skin atrophy. Other names for the condition include prereticulotic poikiloderma and atrophic parapsoriasis. The condition was first described by pioneer American pediatrician Abraham Jacobi |mue| gin| rks| syw| jkj| fjp| hhw| xrd| baw| fbt| mci| mgn| nmy| rye| fxb| awq| iim| kjy| vgf| vcz| big| gdg| qnz| ett| xes| nwh| igr| zko| tzj| eus| kit| ynd| viq| tqn| tok| gmp| nhr| ldo| qxj| htd| mpn| zmz| waa| hrv| ghx| ple| yps| peo| kdd| aab|
