Chronic and heavy sun exposure will insidiously induce changes in human skin during the course of many years. These changes include wrinkles, atrophy, cutis rhomboidalis nuchae, yellow papules and plaques of the face, colloid milium, telangiectasis, diffuse erythema, diffuse brown pigmentation, ecchymoses, freckles, actinic lentigo, nevi, Favre-Racouchot syndrome, poikiloderma of Civatte, actinic keratosis, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, actinic lichen planus, actinic reticuloid, porphyria cutanea tarda, and erythropoietic protoporphyria. In particular, we describe the clinical appearance of the benign changes caused by chronic sunlight exposure.

Congenital and acquired lesions on children's skin impose great burden upon the children and their parents. These children are frequently faced with various kinds of embarrassment in communication with their peers, ranging from sneering and mockery to isolation. That is why these lesions, especially if readily observable, should be completely removed or at least corrected as soon as possible to enable the child to establish normal communication with the environment and to prevent psychic trauma that may entail serious consequences later in life. Seven pediatric patients burdened with such lesions are presented (naevus papillomatous et verrucosus colli, atrophia linearis cutis faciei, naevus hyperkeratoticus systemicus dorsi, ichthyosis nigra, poikiloderma congenitum, hyalinosis cutis et mucosae, and alopecia post combustionem). Dermabrasion was used in six patients, whereas occipital hair graft transplantation to the alopecic sites was used in a girl with posttraumatic alopecia.
