Medical Conditions - Anetoderma

Anetoderma is a condition where elastic tissue in the dermis is lost which results in depression of the skin. Women are more affected than men and can occur around 15 to 25 years of age. It is caused due to infections like chickenpox and inflammatory skin conditions such as acne or Addison's disease. Clinically it can be seen as wrinkly skin overlying a depression, bluish-white lesions, and present around the back, neck, arms, and chest.
