Poikiloderma of Civatte

Poikiloderma of Civatte[1] is a cutaneous condition and refers to reticulated red to red-brown skin patches with telangiectasias.

It is more common in lighter-skinned individuals, in females rather than in males and more often affects middle-aged to elderly women.

This disease is basically a change of the skin due to dilation of the blood vessels in the neck.

[3] "Civatte" was the French dermatologist who first identified it in the 1920s.
