Presentation
The present review summarizes the literature, from the early descriptions pointing toward an immunologic basis of PA and up to the present recognition that PA is a cutaneous sign for autoimmune disorders, in general, and the presence of antiphospholipid [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In the present case, the prothrombotic state was yet asymptomatic but the presence of primary anetoderma has directly led to the search for antiphospholipid antibodies. [kosmetischemedizin-online.de]

Entire Body System
- Inflammation
A follow-up biopsy at this time showed minimal lymphocytic inflammation but almost complete absence of elastic tissue in the mid-reticular dermis. [vgrd.org]
On routine stains the skin looks relatively normal, perhaps with some signs of inflammation. [dermnetnz.org]

A previously healthy 34-year-old male was transported to the emergency department with dyspnea, diaphoresis, pallor, and urticarial wheals on his face, arms, and torso after the administration of the third dose of anthrax vaccine. [medscienceresearch.com]
Skin
- Urticaria
Anetodermic lesions developed two years ago without preceding urticaria pigmentosa lesions. In skin biopsy perivascular mast cell and eosinophil infiltrations were observed. [odermatol.com]
Several months later, the erythema and urticaria was noted to have resolved, leaving soft, pendulous plaques with overlying finely wrinkled skin. [vgrd.org]
In the past, cases of primary anetoderma were divided into the Jadassohn-Pellizari type, in which the lesions are preceded by erythema or urticaria, and the Schweninger-Buzzi type, in which there are no preceding inflammatory lesions. [bmcdermatol.biomedcentral.com]

Rubbing that is too frequent or forceful will cause blisters as opposed to calluses to form. Cause [ edit ] Normally, a callus will form on any part of the skin exposed to excess friction over a long period of time. [en.wikipedia.org]

Allergies, irritants, your genetic makeup, and certain diseases and immune system problems can cause rashes, hives, and other skin conditions. Many skin problems, such as acne, also affect your appearance. [icdlist.com]
People with poor circulation or sensation should check their skin often for signs of rubbing and irritation so they can minimize any damage. [en.wikipedia.org]
Although Piguet and Bolgert proposed that mechanical irritation (trauma) was an inciting factor and some authors support this hypothesis,3,6,10 there were no history of trauma on the lesions in most of the cases including our patient. [medcomhk.com]

Treatment
We describe a striking case of primary anetoderma and review the classification, differential diagnosis, causes, and treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Established lesions can be excised for definitive treatment, but this leaves permanent scars. [altmeyers.org]

This classification does not predict prognosis and is therefore no longer used. There have been many theories proposed to describe the mechanism of development of anetoderma, but at this time this remains unknown. [dermnetnz.org]
The two types of primary anetoderma can coexist in the same patient, and the prognosis and histopathology are identical in both. Thus this differentiation is of historical interest only. [dvkeywords.blogspot.com]
This classification is only of historical interest, because the two types of lesions can co-exist in the same patient; the prognosis and the histopathology are also the same. [dermaamin.com]
Etiology
Abstract Anetoderma is a rare disease of unknown etiology, today classified as a subtype of the circumscribed elastotic disorders. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
[…] that the biopsy demonstrates a loss of elastic fibers along with vascular inflammation, there are multiple etiologies that might be possible in this case. [vgrd.org]
The progressive positivization of autoimmunity of this patient seems to be triggered by HSP or to be linked to the etiology of the purpura. [ispub.com]
All of these studies returned as unremarkable, ruling against an autoimmune etiology. [aocd-grandrounds.org]
Anetoderma is a rare benign condition of diverse etiology whose characteristic is the diminution or absence of the dermal elastic fibers. Classified as primary and secondary, the latter associated with tumors, inflammatory, and infectious diseases. [pubfacts.com]
Epidemiology
Definition / general Benign disorder of focal loss of dermal elastic tissue, causing focal flaccid or saclike skin Either primary (idiopathic) arising in normal skin, or secondary arising at site of previous skin lesions Terminology Greek: Anetos means slack Epidemiology [pathologyoutlines.com]
▪ ANETODERMA History Epidemiology The lesions in anetoderma usually occur in young adults between the age of 15 and 30 years of age and more frequently in women than men. Anetoderma is rare, but the incidence is unknown. [dermaamin.com]
These findings suggest that in addition to elastolytic overactivity, altered reassembly of elastic fibers may also play a significant role in the pathogenesis anetoderma. [4] Epidemiology Frequency The exact incidence of anetoderma is unknown, but secondary [emedicine.medscape.com]
Pharmaco-epidemiological data indicate that 30% of anthrax vaccine recipients experience mild local reactions. With large numbers of military personnel being vaccinated, emergency physicians may encounter more vaccine-related adverse reactions.” [medscienceresearch.com]

[…] such as whole-exome sequencing will identify even more single-gene disorders and even allow us to classify them according to their patient-specific mutations. 3 Recently, studies in rare inherited skin disorders have also led to new insight into the pathophysiology [accessmedicine.mhmedical.com]
Moreover, the pathophysiology, as well as a temporary relationship between APA, SLE development and onset of anetoderma, have not been well established. [medicaljournals.se]
A familial form that manifests as primary anetoderma has also been described. [1] Pathophysiology The exact cause of anetoderma is unknown. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Specifically, impairments of the SC permeability barrier, antimicrobial barrier, and immunologic barrier contribute markedly to the fundamental pathophysiology of AD. [read.qxmd.com]
Prevention
Your skin Holds body fluids in, preventing dehydration Keeps harmful microbes out, preventing infections Helps you feel things like heat, cold, and pain Keeps your body temperature even Makes vitamin D when the sun shines on it Anything that irritates [icdlist.com]
Prevention [ edit ] Corns and calluses are easier to prevent than to treat. When it is usually not desirable to form a callus, minimizing rubbing and pressure will prevent callus formation. [en.wikipedia.org]
Colchicine has been shown to prevent the development of new primary anetoderma lesions. In secondary anetoderma, control of the causative dermatoses should theoretically prevent the development of new lesions (Kineston DP et al 2008). [altmeyers.org]
