PURPURA ANNULARIS TELANGIECTODES Meaning and Definition

1. Purpura annularis telangiectodes is a rare skin condition characterized by the presence of multiple annular (ring-shaped) patches on the skin. The term "purpura" refers to the appearance of purplish discoloration on the skin due to bleeding underneath, while "annularis" signifies the circular or ring-like shape of the patches. "Telangiectodes" refers to the presence of dilated blood vessels (telangiectasias) in the affected skin.

   Individuals with purpura annularis telangiectodes typically exhibit symmetrical, well-defined patches that can range in size from several millimeters to a few centimeters in diameter. These patches are generally pale pink to purple in color, with a characteristic central clearing that may leave a residual brownish discoloration. The patches can be found on any part of the body, but are most commonly seen on the trunk, extremities, and face.

   The exact cause of purpura annularis telangiectodes is unknown, and it is considered to be an idiopathic condition, meaning that it arises spontaneously without a known underlying cause. It primarily affects young adults and is more commonly observed in women than men. The condition is typically benign and self-limiting, resolving without treatment within a few months to years.

   While the appearance of purpura annularis telangiectodes may cause concern and distress for individuals affected by the condition, it is generally not associated with any significant symptoms or complications. However, if any concerns arise or if the patches persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and guidance.

2. Majocchi's disease, an eruption of punctate or larger purpuric spots, often grouped in ring form, associated with more or less pronounced telangiectasia.
