Nevus anemicus is a congenital disorder characterized by macules of varying size and shape that are paler than the surrounding skin and cannot be made red by trauma cold or heat. The paler area is due to the blood vessels within the area which are more sensitive to the body’s normal vasoconstricting chemicals.
