Erythematous plaques on the bilateral dorsal hands.

Neutrophilic dermatosis of the dorsal hands is a rare cutaneous disorder characterized by the sudden onset of painful, haemorrhagic, and pustular bullae with violaceous rims on the dorsal aspects of the hands. Here we present a 61-year old male with a 1-week history of tender, haemorrhagic, and pustular bullae on both dorsal hands, evolving into ulcerative plaques with haemorrhagic crusting over 5 days. A 4 mm lesional punch biopsy revealed a diffuse dermal infiltrate of numerous neutrophils intermixed with lymphocytes and histiocytes, along with epidermal spongiosis and neutrophilic exocytosis.

Nirmatrelvir-ritonivir, COVID-19, and possible adverse cutaneous reactions.

Nirmatrelvir-ritonivir (Paxlovid) recently received emergency use authorization for the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Literature has linked numerous cutaneous adverse effects to nirmatrelvir and ritonavir, the copackaged tablets within Paxlovid. A review and comparison of these adverse effects to the common cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19 is provided.

Social Media as a Medium for Dermatologic Education.

Purpose Of Review: We explore the utility of social media platforms as educational tools in dermatology, providing a summary of how these sites are used by the public and dermatologists alike, and demonstrating ways these findings may be applied for educational purposes.

Recent Findings: Over half of the world's population utilizes social media platforms. More recently, these platforms have increasingly been used for educational purposes.
