A 62-year-old male with a long history of rosacea, which was well controlled on
minocycline, presented to his primary care physician for routine examination.
Physical examination was noted for non-palpable, non-pruritic blue patches of
hyperpigmentation on the medial aspects of his lower extremities bilaterally.
Recognition and management of the findings are discussed.
