A condition presenting as focal areas of thinned, flaccid skin and resulting from focal defects in dermal elastin. The involved skin is often elevated above the surrounding normal skin but can be depressed. The condition may be primary and without identifiable cause or may be a sequela of a large number of different conditions which may damage elastin in the dermis.
