Poikiloderma of Civatte
Poikiloderma of Civatte [1] is a cutaneous condition and refers to reticulated red to red-brown patches with telangiectasias.[2] It is identifiable as the reddish brown discoloration on sides of the neck, usually on both sides. It is more common with women than men and more commonly effects middle-aged to elderly women. "Poikiloderma" is basically a change of the skin due to dilation of the blood vessels in the neck. "Civatte" was the French dermatologist who first identified it in the 1920s.[3]
