Abstract
Acquired brachial cutaneous dyschromatosis (ABCD) is a relatively newly described, acquired disorder of pigmentation characterized by geographic-shaped, gray-brown, hyperpigmented patches and interspersed with hypopigmented macules, involving the dorsal aspects of the forearms in postmenopausal women. There is a suggested relationship with hypertension and antihypertensive medication intake, specifically angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, or a cumulative effect of sun damage, as possible triggers. ABCD is benign, asymptomatic, and more of an esthetic concern. Topical depigmenting agents, chemical peels, and laser therapy may be helpful.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
