    Bateman purpura, also known as dermatoporosis, is a form of localized scurvy in the skin that is characterized by diffuse skin atrophy and spontaneous bruising. A double-blind randomized clinical trial found that applying a 5% topical vitamin C cream twice daily led to significant improvement in skin symptoms and increased skin elasticity and thickness on the treated side compared to the placebo side. The results confirm that Bateman purpura may be caused by an underlying vitamin C deficiency in the skin and can be improved by applying vitamin C topically.

    Background
    Bateman purpura is characterized by di use senile skin atrophy, senile purpura and spontaneous stellar pseudo-cicatrices. Cutaneous changes in the course of aging have
    been related to lower levels of ascorbic acid into the dermis of elderly people.

    Objective
    In the present study, we postulate that senile purpura could be linked to dermal vitamin C de ciency and could be corrected by topical administration of this vitamin.

    Methods
    A 12-weeks, hemi-member (forearm or leg), randomized double-blind comparative study, was conducted in 18 patients with Bateman purpura aged over than 60 years. At
    each visit, clinical assessment and biometrological measurements were performed. Clinical examination and scoring by experts showed a signi cant improvement on the
    vitamin C-treated side compared with the control, with reduction of hemorrhage areas, increase of dermal thickness.

    Results
    Twice-daily application of 5% topical vitamin C led to a clinically apparent improvement of the skin symptoms and allows bene cial e ects on skin elasticity and thickness.
    Bateman purpura, a classical sign of photoaging whose origin has not clearly been recognized could be improved by vitamin C applied on to the skin.

    Conclusion
    These results con rm the hypothesis of underlying of role vitamin C de ciency in the determinism of Bateman purpura.
