Abstract

Favre-Racouchot disease is characterized by diffuse yellowish hue with presence of large, open, black comedones, nodules and cysts associated with the clinical signs of actinically damaged and atrophic skin. Sun exposure, smoking, and therapeutic radiation are considered important risk factors. Pathogenesis of the disease includes loss of functional elastic tissue network and reduction of tensile strength, distension of the infundibular canal of the seba-ceous follicles and retention of sebum with consequent comedones formation. Dermatoscopy showed yellowish lobular like structures with rare peripheral telangiectasia. Combining medical and surgical therapy is the best approach. Keywords: Favre-Racouchot Disease; Comedones; Dermatoscopy.
