Article Synopsis
- Subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE) poses diagnostic challenges, and this study explores how videodermoscopy can help differentiate it from similar skin conditions.
- The study involved 139 patients with various skin conditions, including SCLE, psoriasis, and mycosis fungoides, analyzing features like vascular patterns, scales, and pigmentation using a specialized videodermatoscope.
- Key findings indicate that SCLE is often characterized by a distinct polymorphous vascular pattern and specific pigmentation features, which can effectively differentiate it from other erythematous-desquamative dermatoses, particularly psoriasis and mycosis fungoides.
Alopecia areata (AA) is a cell-mediated autoimmune disease in which a cytotoxic T-cell response against hair follicles occurs. AA has been demonstrated to frequently co-exist with atopic dermatitis (AD), and the coincidence of atopy predisposes to a more severe course of the disease. To date, therapeutic options in AA, especially in the pediatric population, are mainly limited to corticosteroids, irritants, sensitizers, and immunosuppressive agents.
