Observation:

  • A 41-year-old male diabetic presented with a year of persistent, symmetric erythema and taut skin on the neck and back.
  • Examination revealed erythematous, woody hard, and unpinchable skin lesions.

Findings:

  • The patient's presentation is consistent with Scleredema diabeticorum.
