==Overview==
History of [[tick bite]], [[Lyme disease|erythema migrans]] or other [[symptoms]] of [[lyme disease]], and [[rheumatology|rheumatological]] [[symptoms]] have been presented in [[patients]] with [[acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans]]. Since there could be several years between the [[tick]] [[bite]] and development of [[skin]] lesions, absence of [[tick]] [[bite]] in [[patients]]' history never exclude the [[diagnosis]]. [[Symptoms]] and different forms of [[skin]] involvement in [[acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans]] are dependent to duration of the [[disease]]. [[Symptoms]], such as sclerotic [[skin]] changes, [[pain]] and burning, [[edema]] and [[B symptoms|constitutional symptoms]] have been observed in [[acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans]]. Half of [[patients]] with [[acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans]] experience [[symptoms]] of [[peripheral neuropathy]], such as [[paresthesia]] and [[hypesthesia]]. [[Symptoms]] of [[peripheral neuropathy]] can occure at the exact site of [[acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans]]'s lesion or at other sites. Involvement of [[leg|lower limb]] is more common compared to the [[upper limb]]. In some cases episodic [[knee]] [[joint]] [[effusion]] has been observed.

Overview

History of tick bite, erythema migrans or other symptoms of lyme disease, and rheumatological symptoms have been presented in patients with acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans. Since there could be several years between the tick bite and development of skin lesions, absence of tick bite in patients' history never exclude the diagnosis. Symptoms and different forms of skin involvement in acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans are dependent to duration of the disease. Symptoms, such as sclerotic skin changes, pain and burning, edema and constitutional symptoms have been observed in acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans. Half of patients with acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans experience symptoms of peripheral neuropathy, such as paresthesia and hypesthesia. Symptoms of peripheral neuropathy can occure at the exact site of acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans's lesion or at other sites. Involvement of lower limb is more common compared to the upper limb. In some cases episodic knee joint effusion has been observed.
