Overview
Acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans is a rare disease. The prevalence of acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans is estimated to include 10% of cases with lyme disease in Europe. The incidence of acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans increases with age and commonly affects individuals in range of 40 to 70 years old with a median of 64 years old. However there are few case reports on children who are diagnosed with acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans. Acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans affects women more than men. The majority of acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans cases are reported in northern, central and eastern Europe (most commonly in countries bordering the Baltic Sea). Lately few cases of acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans have been reported in the United States and Canada.
