Department of Dermatology and Allergy Biederstein, Technical University Munich, Munich, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- Figurate erythemas (FE) are a diverse group of skin conditions characterized by ring-shaped red lesions, with diagnosis primarily based on clinical exams and histology, often requiring exclusion of other conditions.
- There are four classic types of FE recognized: erythema annulare centrifugum, erythema gyratum repens, erythema migrans, and erythema marginatum, but some experts view FE as a reaction pattern rather than distinct diseases.
- A diagnostic algorithm has been proposed to help differentiate between FE subtypes based on how they develop over time and their clinical and histological characteristics, especially since some cases may indicate underlying malignancies.
