Abstract

Bier Spots are small, light, irregular, hypopigmented and transient macules, usually found on the upper and lower extremities of young adults, in which the intervening skin may seem ertyhematous but blanches with pressure so that these light macules disappear. This is a benign physiologic vascular anomaly of no clinical significance. We present, the case of a 33-year-old man with Bier spots on face associated with insomnia, alopecia areata, epilepsy, and deep venous thrombosis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report that presented with Bier spots on the face.
