Elastosis perforans serpiginosa

is a disorder of the elastic tissue of the skin, causing deep red raised lesions to appear in a linear or a circular pattern. These tend to occur on the back and sides of the neck, but may also be seen on the chin, the cheeks, arms and knees. These occur in males four times as often as in females. These may last for well over 10 years before going away on their own. Liquid nitrogen is the best current treatment, but this condition has a high rate of recurrence.
