Atypical Type 2 Lepra Reaction Masquerading as Recurrent Sweet Syndrome.

Erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL) is an immune complex-mediated response in Mycobacterium leprae infection, presenting with fever, arthralgias, and tender cutaneous lesions. It mimics Sweet syndrome (SS) clinically and histologically but requires distinct management. A 65-year-old man with recent travel presented with fever and edematous plaques.

The viability of a proposed psychoeducational neurodiversity approach in children services: The PANDA (the Portsmouth alliance's neuro-diversity approach).

People with Neurodevelopmental (ND) conditions are often unfairly stereotyped by society, without fully appreciating their strengths. As a result, their advantageous behaviours may be overlooked or ignored. Despite wide psychoeducation on ND in society there is a push from the scientific and ND community to move from a binary diagnostic system to an approach that encompasses the spectrum experienced by individuals.

Annular Basal Cell Carcinoma Expanding Around Central Hypertrophic Scarring: A Case Report.

A case of annular basal cell carcinoma (BCC) with central atrophic scarring that developed secondary to spontaneous regression has been reported. We present a novel case of a large, expanding nodular and micronodular BCC with annular morphology with central hypertrophic scarring. A 61-year-old woman presented with a two-year history of a mildly itchy lesion on the right breast.

A Systematic Review Examining the Potential Adverse Effects of Microneedling.

Microneedling is a relatively safe therapeutic procedure used to treat many dermatological conditions, including acne vulgaris, alopecia, melasma and other pigmentary disorders, as well as to promote skin rejuvenation, rhytide reduction, and scar remodeling. Given its popularity among patients and increasing use in the clinic and at home, we aim to explain the adverse effects associated with microneedling procedures. We reviewed the current literature describing microneedling and the complications that may accompany this therapeutic procedure.

Necrotizing neutrophilic dermatosis: A diagnostic challenge with a need for multi-disciplinary recognition, a case report.

Introduction: Necrotizing neutrophilic dermatoses can clinically resemble necrotizing fasciitis and therefore pose a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Given their similar presentations, misdiagnosis and inappropriate or delayed treatments are possible.

Presentation Of Case: We discuss the case of a woman with acute myeloid leukemia who presented with fevers, chills, cough, and a leg wound.

Scalp Dermatitis in Patients Sensitized to Components of Hair Products.

Background: Allergic contact dermatitis is an inflammatory condition that less commonly presents with scalp involvement. Recently, T regulatory cells have been documented to be residents of hair follicles, illuminating why contact allergens are less likely to elicit dermatitis in the scalp.

Objective: The aims of the study were to determine the prevalence of scalp symptoms, with and without other affected areas, in patients presenting for evaluation of allergic contact dermatitis and to determine the allergens most likely to be associated with scalp dermatitis.

Staphylococcus caprae: A Skin Commensal with Pathogenic Potential.

Staphylococcus caprae (S. caprae) is a catalase-positive, coagulase-negative organism that was first isolated from goat milk, and was later found to colonize healthy human skin, nails, and nasal mucosa. Rarely, this commensal organism can become pathogenic in humans.

Sweet syndrome in patients with and without malignancy: A retrospective analysis of 83 patients from a tertiary academic referral center.

Background: Sweet syndrome is a neutrophilic dermatosis that may be categorized into classic, malignancy-associated, and drug-induced subtypes. Few studies have systematically analyzed this rare disorder.

Objective: To describe the clinicopathologic characteristics and treatment of Sweet syndrome and identify characteristics associated with concurrent malignancy.

4-Day evaluation of the irritation potential of topical desoximetasone 0.25% and 0.05% spray on light-exposed skin.

Purpose: The safety and potential side effects of desoximetasone 0.25% and 0.05% sprays have not previously been studied.
