Special form of acrocyanosis.

EtiopathogenesisThis section has been translated automatically.

Functional circulatory disorders after cold stimulation. Probably also endocrine dysfunction. A pronounced fatty tissue protects the inside of the body against heat loss, but at the same time isolates the overlying skin. The skin is thus exposed to increased cold influences. Thus, cyanotic skin discolouration occurs over body regions which have a strongly developed subcutaneous fat pad and are increasingly exposed to cold stimuli as a result of clothing fashion.

ManifestationThis section has been translated automatically.
