What are the possible reasons for schamberg disease

Answer 1

Schamberg’s disease is a rare dermatosis characterized by progressive, non‐palpable pigmentary changes. Typically the lesions occurs as patches and ‘cayenne pepper puncta’ with pigmentation as a prominent feature. The lesions do not exceed 3 cm in diameter and manifest themselves as reddish‐brown macules. They are located especially on the lower extremities and have a vasculitic appearance, although this skin disorder is not associated with haematologic disease. Schamberg’s disease is asymptomatic, may occur at any age and males are more often affected.
