Asteatotic Eczema
Asteatotic eczema is a disease of the elderly characterized by dry
cracked skin due to loss of epidermal lubrication. It occurs primarily on
the legs, especially the shins; less commonly, on the trunk and arms. The
skin assumes a 'crazy paving' appearance with large scales demarcated by
fine red superficial fissures. Purpura and capillary bleeding may result
