Poikiloderma of Civatte

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