Article Synopsis
- Dermatitis cruris pustulosa et atrophicans (DCPA) is a chronic skin condition that can lead to hair loss if not treated and is characterized by certain dermoscopic features that distinguish it from similar conditions.
- A study conducted on 30 patients in South India identified key dermoscopic findings such as follicular pustules, white structureless areas around follicles, and various vascular patterns, confirming the prevalence of DCPA in males and primarily affecting the lower limbs.
- Limitations of the study included its retrospective nature, small sample size, and absence of a comparison group, highlighting the need for further research to better understand DCPA and its features.
Lupus vulgaris (LV) is a type of paucibacillary cutaneous tuberculosis that can occur due to inoculation, lymphatic, or hematogenous route. It occurs in a previously sensitized individual with high immunity to tuberculosis. LV can have different morphology of presentation, which can lead to difficulty in diagnosis.
