Arcus senilis; Other names: arcus adiposus, arcus juvenilis, arcus lipoides corneae, arcus cornealis: Arcus senilis deposits tend to start at 6 and 12 o'clock and progress until becoming completely circumferential.

The color of the rash is a pinkish purple, and is called heliotrope (after a flower of the same name with approximately this color). On the hands and face, the rash very closely resembles allergies , eczema , fifth disease , or other more common skin condition, but the heliotrope color is unique to the inflammatory process of JDMS.
Cornea plana 2 (CNA2) is a congenital disorder that causes the cornea to flatten and the angle between the sclera and cornea to shrink. [1] This could result in the early development of arcus lipoides, hazy corneal limbus, and hyperopia. [2] There is evidence that cornea plana 2 is caused by mutations in KERA gene encoding keratocan.

[2] When patients are symptomatic, they present with non-specific symptoms, such as chronic sinusitis, rhinorrhea, obstruction, pain, facial enlargement and possibly visual changes.
The exact cause of lipodermatosclerosis is unknown. [3] [6] Venous disease, such as venous incompetence, venous hypertension, and body mass may be relevant to the underlying pathogenesis. [3] Increased blood pressure in the veins (venous hypertension) can cause diffusion of substances, including fibrin, out of capillaries.
New tests done by the Environmental Working Group have found 21 oat-based cereals and snack bars popular amongst children to have "troubling levels of glyphosate." The chemical, which is the ...
