Excessive use of perfume and ignoring sun protection can lead to the development of a chronic skin condition — poikiloderma of Civatte. This was reported by a representative of Nizhny Novgorod healthcare, Alexey Nikonov, on his Telegram channel.
Doctors note that women of older age are primarily at risk, especially with decreased estrogen levels and a genetic predisposition. The disease appears on exposed areas of the skin — the lateral sides of the face, the neck, and the décolletage.
Poikiloderma causes thinning of the skin and the appearance of pigmented areas that alternate with depigmented zones. Interestingly, the area of the neck under the chin usually remains untouched because it is protected from sunlight.
Laser procedures are used to eliminate the manifestations of the disease. Cosmetic products based on retinoids, vitamin C, or hydroquinone may also be used. However, treatment effectiveness depends on the individual characteristics of the patient.
Earlier, Nizhny Novgorod residents were warned about a dangerous tanning spray.
