The differential diagnosis of livedoid rashes in an adult includes a broad range of conditions. Persistence of physiologic cutis marmorata into adulthood is noted in certain cases. Fine retiform rash, appearing on cold exposure, is one of the characteristic features. Fixed asymmetric livedo with secondary skin changes or associated systemic symptoms could be a harbinger of underlying anti-phospholipid syndrome or vasculitis.
