Actinic purpura is a common benign disorder of dermal connective tissues due to skin damage from chronic sun exposure. This condition was initially described by Bateman in 1818 and is also known as Bateman senile purpura or Bateman disease. Usually affecting older adults, this condition is characterized by dark purple blotches on photo-exposed areas, especially the back of the hands and the extensor surfaces of the forearm. These lesions normally fade for up to 3 weeks. Some authors have used the term solar purpura as a synonym for actinic purpura, but reserving it for purpuric lesions that occur acutely after sun exposure is preferable. See Actinic Purpura.
光化性紫癜是一种常见的皮肤结缔组织良性疾病，由长期日晒导致的皮肤损伤引起。它最初由贝特曼于1818年描述，也被称为贝特曼老年性紫癜或贝特曼病。它通常影响老年人，其特征是在暴露于阳光的部位出现深紫色斑点，尤其是手背和前臂的伸侧。这些皮损通常会在长达三周的时间内消退。一些作者将“日光性紫癜”一词用作光化性紫癜的同义词，但最好将其保留用于日晒后急性出现的紫癜性皮损。
