Systemic Minoxidil Accidental Exposure in a Paediatric Population: A Case Series Study of Cutaneous and Systemic Side Effects.

Oral minoxidil is an approved treatment for high blood pressure which is also used as an off-label drug for alopecia. Knowledge about the effects of systemic minoxidil in the paediatric population is limited. A retrospective case series study of paediatric patients with history of systemic minoxidil intake due to contaminated sets of omeprazole was performed to describe side effects of high dose oral minoxidil intake in children.

A case report of severe dermatitis, allergies, and metabolic wasting (SAM syndrome).

The presence of eczema and elevated IgE in pediatric patients does not always indicate atopic dermatitis. Rare genodermatoses may share this clinical presentation and should be considered in the differential diagnosis for patients with congenital immunodeficiency and severe refractory dermatitis. We describe a case of severe dermatitis, allergies, and metabolic wasting syndrome, due to a novel mutation in DSG1 gene, an additional example of this uncommon genetic disorder of desmosome function.

A Case of Intertriginous and Flexural Exanthema caused by Amoxicillin.

We report a 50-year-old male patient who presented to the Dermatological Outpatient Clinic at the Hospital Universitario San Cecilio, Granada, Spain, in 2017 with symmetrical inguinal eruption and eruption on the of both feet four hours after the intake of amoxicillin. Physical examination showed confluent non-palpable purpuric macules covering the of both feet and medial malleolus, giving rise to dusky erythema in some areas. Only oral antihistamines were prescribed and cutaneous exanthema resolved within three weeks.
