Majocchi's disease, also known as Purpura annularis telangiectodes of Majocchi[1] is a not-well-recognized and uncommon skin condition characterized by purple/bluish-red 1- to 3-cm annular patches composed of dark red telangiectases with petechiae.
[2]: 829 Majocchi's disease is characterized by punctuate reddish-brown macules and symmetrical, annular patches, with a tendency toward the lower extremities.
There are treatments available to help improve the symptoms for some individuals, but responses vary.
Some of these treatments include the application of topical steroids and ultraviolet therapy.
The use of narrowband UVB and psoralen have shown to be effective treatments for some patients with pigmented purpuric dermatoses.
