Solar purpura ("Senile purpura") is a skin condition characterized by large, sharply outlined, 1- to 5-cm, dark purplish-red ecchymoses appearing on the dorsa of the forearms and less often the hands. It is caused by sun-induced damage to the connective tissue of the skin.
Din il-kundizzjoni hija komuni ħafna fl-anzjani u jekk id-driegħ jinżamm iebes, tbenġil faċilment. L-ingwent sterojdi m'għandux jiġi applikat.
Purpura actinika (Actinic purpura) iseħħ meta d‑demm joħroġ fis‑saffi aktar profondi tal‑ġilda. Jiġri aktar spiss f’nies anzjani b’ġilda li tirqaq u vaskoli fraġli, speċjalment jekk kellhom ħafna espożizzjoni għax‑xemx. Actinic purpura results from the extravasation of blood into the dermis. This phenomenon is due to the skin atrophy and fragility of the blood vessels in elderly individuals, which is exacerbated by chronic sun exposure.
