Rombo syndrome

A very rare, inherited disorder that causes a bluish-red skin color on the lips, hands, and feet. It also causes skin lesions that leave pitted scars, usually on the cheeks. Other signs and symptoms include little or no hair growth in the affected areas and thin or missing eyelashes and eyebrows; small, yellowish bumps that cause the skin to become rough; thinning of the skin; and other skin problems. The signs and symptoms usually appear between 7 and 10 years of age. People with Rombo syndrome have a very high risk of developing basal cell skin cancer, usually around the age of 35 years. The gene involved in Rombo syndrome is not known.
