Fegeler, 1949

DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.

Unilateral, flat, red spots of varying colour depth (depending on blood circulation) after traumatic damage. The pathomechanism is unclear, nervous damage seems to be at least a contributory cause, even if the nevi cannot be assigned to segments or the course of peripheral nerves.

TherapyThis section has been translated automatically.

At first observation and cosmetic covering e.g. with Dermacolor. If necessary, experiment with laser treatment(pulsed dye, argon laser).
