Gottron papules - what does this mean
Gottron papules are a type of skin lesion that occur in patients with dermatomyositis, an inflammatory autoimmune disorder. they are usually found on the knuckles, elbows, and knees, and appear as small, red-purple bumps that may be tender to the touch.
What happens during the disease - gottron papules
Gottron papules are caused by the presence of antibodies to type iii collagen in the skin. these antibodies cause inflammation and damage to the skin, leading to the formation of scaly, red, raised lesions. this damage is caused by an immune-mediated process in which the body's own immune cells attack the collagen in the skin, leading to the characteristic papules.
