Brief answer...given below
Detailed answer....
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
ANETODERMA is a benign condition where there is loss of skin elasticity resulting in bulging pouches if skin.This condition is a benign condition and occurs more in women as compared to men,although the reason is unknown.
This condition doesnt cause any sign or symptoms except appearance of skin lesions.
Once these lesions appear,they don't change their size,shape or colour although new legions may continue to appear.
Very frankly speaking,there is no treatment of this condition although intra lesion steroids 
and VIT E Have been used in the past but without any result.
Primary ANETODERMA has no cure while in secondary ANETODERMA,the formation of further lesions can be arrested,if the cause is found and treated,
Surgery can be undertaken if number of lesions are small but is not a practical option,if they are many in number.
There is no effective herbal therapy for this condition.
I hope it helps,however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
