Abstract

The gyrate erythemas are a group of reactive inflammatory vascular dermatoses that are distinguished primarily by their morphologic pattern. The lesions have been described as arcuate, annular, circinate, figurate, gyrate, polycyclic, reticular, and serpiginous. They tend to spread peripherally while complete or partial clearing occurs centrally. The gyrate erythemas consist of a nonspecific group ("erythema annulare centrifugum") and three specific types, erythema marginatum rheumaticum, erythema chronicum migrans (Lyme disease), and erythema gyratum repens.
