Bier’s spots with onset in childhood

Abstract: Bier spots are small, irregular, hypopigmented macules that are usually found on the arms and legs. The macules disappear when the limb is raised. Bier spots have been reported in association with a number of conditions but there is no consistent association to specific desease. Although they usually affect young adults, we report a case of Bier spots that began in childhood. As an asymptomatic and possibly transitional condition, the disease does not require treatment.

We highlight the observation of urticaria-like red papules and tissue eosinophils to distinguish it from "classic" Bier spots.…”

“…Reiben und Abblassen der umgebenden Haut, Erwärmung des betroffenen Bereichs oder Druckentlastung können zu spontanem Verschwinden der Bierschen Flecken führen [6,7]. Die Läsionen werden bei der Diaskopie nicht mehr wahrgenommen [4,5]. Die Dermatoskopie zeigt eine deutliche Verengung der Hautkapillaren in den Bierschen Flecken [10].…”
