CH typically presents as purpuric or brownish macules and patches on the extremities, abdomen, and trunks. Histopathologically, the hallmark of CH includes extravasated erythrocytes and karyorrhectic debris phagocytized by histiocytes, associated with dermal capillary ectasia, perivascular infiltration of neutrophils, nuclear dust, and histiocytes without atypia.
