- - Pemphigus herpetiformis (PH) is a rare autoimmune skin condition that mostly affects adults, but it's extremely uncommon in young children, like the three-year-old girl in the case study.
- - The child exhibited skin issues resembling other conditions, and a biopsy revealed several specific features, including inflammation and blisters.
- - Treatment with clobetasol ointment and dapsone led to significant improvement in her symptoms, highlighting the need to recognize PH in pediatric cases and encouraging more research to understand it better.
White fibrous papulosis of the neck (WFPN) manifests through the presence of numerous solid, persistent, and asymptomatic yellowish-white papules, displaying a distinctive asymmetrical distribution primarily localized on the neck and antecubital fossa. This case report describes the clinical presentation of a 70-year-old female diagnosed with WFPN, highlighting the significant finding of collagen fiber thickening upon histopathological analysis. Despite its predilection for specific anatomical sites, the elusive pathogenesis of WFPN adds diagnostic complexity, emphasizing the need for further research in this unique condition that generally follows a benign course.

As skin cancer is not commonly reported in Kuwait, this study was conducted to analyze the clinicopathological characteristics of nonmelanoma skin cancers (NMSC), primarily basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), during the last 13 years in a tertiary dermatology center in Kuwait.
Materials And Methods: Data were searched for patients with NMSC, primarily BCC and SCC, from 2010 to 2022.
