Article Synopsis
- Recent studies have identified and categorized new types of cutaneous vascular proliferations, which present as red or purple patches on the skin and can sometimes lead to necrosis or ulceration, particularly affecting the extremities.
- These conditions are characterized by abnormal growth patterns of endothelial cells and other components, usually triggered by localized or systemic issues that cause blood flow restrictions, with healing occurring once the underlying cause is addressed.
- One specific condition, diffuse dermal angiomatosis of the breast, mainly affects middle-aged women with conditions like obesity and smoking, leading to painful, red to purple patches on large breasts, and while there's no standard treatment, reduction mammoplasty may be considered for those not responding to
