[Post-varicella anetoderma. 3 cases].
We report three cases of typical macular atrophy which appeared during, or was noticed shortly after varicella. The three patients were children. These cases were particular in that anetoderma lesions occurred independently of the scarring varicella lesions and followed a prolonged course of their own afterwards. We were unable to classify these cases in the primary or secondary type of macular atrophy. The various dermatoses associated with macular atrophy and the numerous physiopathological hypotheses put forward concerning this entity are enumerated.
