What happens during the disease - elastosis perforans serpiginosa
Elastosis perforans serpiginosa is a rare skin disorder caused by the accumulation of abnormal elastic fibers in the dermis. this accumulation is due to an increase in the activity of elastin-producing cells in the skin, which causes the skin to become thickened and form raised bumps. these bumps can break down over time, leaving behind pitted scars. the exact cause of this disorder is unknown, but it is thought to be related to an autoimmune response.
