Brief Answer:
Doesn't seem like Degos disease

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and viewed the image.

Doesn't seem like Degos disease. You seem to have actinic purpura with skin coming off at places over some of the purpuric patches and intact over others. The white/ depigmented spots in the surrounding skin are of idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
