The term “dermatoporosis” was introduced a decade ago to highlight the need to pay attention to the problems posed by premature skin aging beyond esthetic considerations. People with this condition have a thinner skin that becomes fragile, tends to tear, and may lead to deep dissecting hematomas—as a final stage—corresponding to a medical emergency. Various studies have demonstrated a high prevalence of dermatoporosis in the elderly, with women being more exposed than men. We have developed a scoring system for dermatoporosis, providing different strategies to treat and prevent this skin condition, as well as a followup of patients treated at the University Hospital of Geneva.
