Overview
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History
- The course of acrodermatitis chronica atrophicansis is chronic and could lasts for several years. [1]
- It usually involves extensor surfaces of the acral regions of limbs.[1]
- Skin changes first appear as blue and red discoloration with boggy infiltration. These skin lesions can become atrophic later.
Complications
- Common complications of acrodermatitis chronica atrophicansis include:[1]
- Sclerotic skin changes
Prognosis
- Acrodermatitis chronica atrophicansis can lead to extensive atrophy of skin and, in some patients it can cause limitation of upper and lower limb joint mobility.
- The general pognosis is good with proper and rapid treatment in acute inflammatory stage of acrodermatitis chronica atrophicansis.
- The therapeutic outcome is difficult to assess in patients with the chronic atrophic phase because most changes are only partially reversible.
