A rare, acquired, dermis elastic tissue disease characterized by asymptomatic, well-demarcated, symmetric patches and/or plaques of finely wrinkled skin arranged parallel to skin cleavage lines (type I), associated with perifollicular papular protrusions (type II) or with persistent reticular erythema (type III), occurring predominantly on the shoulders, trunk, back, and proximal extremities, associating, on histopathology, a selective loss of elastic tissue in the midreticular dermis. Erythema and/or urticaria may or may not precede wrinkly lesions.

Eczema is a form of dermatitis. The term eczema is broadly applied to a range of persistent skin conditions and can be related to a number of underlying conditions. Manifestations of eczema can include dryness and recurring skin rashes with redness, skin edema, itching and dryness, crusting, flaking, blistering, cracking, oozing, or bleeding.
