[Atrophodermia vermiculata vera (author's transl)]

A net of yellow reticular ledges with red pseudoatrophic areas in between developes on both cheeks of a 16 years old boy, increasing since about 4 years. Additionally there are some milia and comedones. Histologically large amounts of elastic material are to be seen in the interfollicular spaces. This material does not perforate the epidermis. The boy's mother has similar but less pronounced skin changes.
