Near the left corner of the mouth, there are 2 red follicular papules (diagnosed as acne) (A1 and A2). Normal epidermis with slight fibrosis in the dermis (B) (H&E, 40×). Patchy loss of elastic fibers throughout the dermis with no correlation to hair follicles (C) (Verhoeff-Van Gieson, 40×). Prominent elastic fragmentation (D) (Verhoeff-Van Gieson, 400×).
