Hi Luiza,
Thanks for writing to us.
Anetoderma is an elastolytic disorder where elastin of dermal skin tissue is destroyed leading to laxity and outpouching of skin. Though medical treatment is available none is supposed be very effective. For smaller lesions surgical excision can be tried.
I would advise you to consult a dermatologist so that the diagnosis can be confirmed first as your self diagnosis might be wrong!
Hope that helps. Take care
