Introduction Nail disorders account for an important component of all dermatological conditions. Nail abnormalities can result from local pathology or systemic diseases. Pathologies can lead to pain and impaired fine touch and are aesthetically distressing.

However, after undergoing high-resolution ultrasonography (HRUS), it was found that she had bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). This case highlights the importance of considering other possible causes of peripheral neuropathy, such as CTS, in patients with suspected Hansen's disease.

- Unilateral facial hyperpigmented lesions are rare skin conditions present since birth, caused by both genetic and non-genetic factors, and can include various types like congenital melanocytic nevi and café-au-lait macules.
- Accurate diagnosis involves thorough examination, dermoscopy, and histopathological evaluation, while treatment options range from observation to surgical excision and laser therapy, considering patient preferences and aesthetic concerns.
- A case study of a 12-year-old patient highlights the complexity of diagnosing these lesions, emphasizing the need for a multidisciplinary approach and the importance of further research to fill existing knowledge gaps.
Background: Nail disorders account for about 10% of all dermatological conditions. Onychoscopy is useful not only for their diagnosis but also for assessing severity/progression and monitoring the response to therapy.
Aims And Objectives: Describing dermoscopic features of nail disorders in patients reporting to the dermatology OPD of our tertiary care hospital and recording the sociodemographic profiles thereof.
Background: Substantial evidence suggests a higher risk of metabolic syndrome as a result of persistent inflammation in patients with psoriasis. Psoriasis may also be associated with vitamin D deficiency.
Aim: To correlate vitamin D deficiency with psoriasis and metabolic syndrome.
Vitiligo, a common skin disorder, is characterized by the loss of functional melanocytes resulting in the depigmentation of skin. Previous studies have demonstrated molecular and architectural alterations in the epidermal keratinocytes upon loss of melanocytes. The physiological implications of these "altered" keratinocytes are yet not known.
