“…19 There is evidence of continuing synthesis of elastic fibers throughout life, but after the age of 50 years, the new fibers appear more loosely assembled. 20 With age there is also some loss of the superficial dermal fibers and a slow, progressive degradation of mature fibers accompanied by changes in collagen and the extracellular matrix. 19,21 Similar changes are seen in elastotic degeneration secondary to injury.…”

Although the differences in histomorphology between the surgical and nonsurgical weight loss groups did not reach statistical significance, the results demonstrated an existence of weight loss-induced histomorphological skin changes that may impact future studies. The study did not demonstrate a relationship between dermal histomorphology and postoperative wound complications, suggesting that aberrant healing in body contouring procedures involves a multifactorial process.

PE documented an elastase producing strain of Staphylococcal epidermidis from an affected hair follicle incriminating the elastase for degrading the elastin tissue.…”

Rediscovering perifollicular elastolysis: A hitherto undocumented entity in India

Perifollicular elastolysis, also known as papular acne scars is a common but taken for granted entity. It appears as asymptomatic whitish yellow papules on the trunk and proximal arms. Histologically there is loss of elastin around the pilosebaceous follicles. The lesions are the result of a scarring process that appear as papules and are often mistaken for papules of acne and are treated. A knowledge of this entity which has never been described before in India is being reiterated.
