Skin Atrophy

	Skin Atrophy Atrophoderma refers to conditions involving skin atrophy. Types include: * Follicular atrophoderma * Linear atrophoderma of Moulin * Atrophoderma of Pasini and Pierini Morphea is a form of scleroderma that involves isolated patches of hardened skin on the face, hands, and feet, or anywhere else on the body, with no internal organ involvement.

	Follicular Atrophoderma Follicular atrophoderma is a skin condition consisting of follicular indentations without hairs, notably occurring on extensor surfaces of the hands, legs and arms.James, William; Berger, Timothy; Elston, Dirk (2005).

	Linear Atrophoderma Of Moulin Linear atrophoderma of Moulin (also known as "Moulin atrophoderma linearis") is an acquired unilateral dermatitis localized along the Blaschko lines. It affects children or adolescents of both genders, involving the trunk and the limbs. It is, presumably, a rare cutaneous form of mosaicism. This disease was first referred to as Atrophoderma of Moulin after Dr.Moulin who first reported it in 1992 then was renamed as linear atrophoderma of Moulin. Only a few dozen cases have been described; for this reason, LAM is considered to be a very rare disorder.

	Atrophoderma Of Pasini And Pierini Morphea is a form of scleroderma that involves isolated patches of hardened skin on the face, hands, and feet, or anywhere else on the body, with no internal organ involvement. Signs and symptoms Morphea most often presents as macules or plaques a few centimeters in diameter, but also may occur as bands or in guttate lesions or nodules. Morphea is a thickening and hardening of the skin and subcutaneous tissues from excessive collagen deposition. Morphea includes specific conditions ranging from very small plaques only involving the skin to widespread disease causing functional and cosmetic deformities. Morphea discriminates from systemic sclerosis by its supposed lack of internal organ involvement. This classification scheme does not include the mixed form of morphea in which different morphologies of skin lesions are present in the same individual. Up to 15% of morphea patients may fall into this previously unrecognized category. Cause Physicians and scientists do no ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
