Cutis rhomboidalis nuchae
Cutis Rhomboidalis Nuchae is a condition characterized by the appearance of leathery, yellowish skin on the back of the neck. This condition is often associated with chronic sun exposure and aging.
Causes[edit | edit source]
The primary cause of Cutis Rhomboidalis Nuchae is prolonged exposure to the sun. This condition is more common in individuals who spend a lot of time outdoors without adequate sun protection. Aging is also a contributing factor, as the skin naturally loses elasticity and becomes more susceptible to damage over time.
Symptoms[edit | edit source]
The most noticeable symptom of Cutis Rhomboidalis Nuchae is the appearance of yellowish, leathery skin on the back of the neck. The skin may also have a diamond or rhomboid pattern, which gives the condition its name. Other symptoms may include skin thickening and wrinkles.
Treatment[edit | edit source]
Treatment for Cutis Rhomboidalis Nuchae primarily involves managing symptoms and preventing further sun damage. This may include the use of sunscreens, protective clothing, and avoiding excessive sun exposure. In some cases, dermatological treatments such as laser therapy or dermabrasion may be used to improve the appearance of the skin.
