An Atypical Presentation of Molluscum Contagiosum in a Newborn.

Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a skin infection caused by a poxvirus that is highly contagious and common among children. When MC does occur in children less than one year old, it is suspected to be a result of vertical transmission through maternal MC infection. In this report, we describe a case of MC on the scalp of a 10-month-old child that started shortly after birth via Cesarean delivery.

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis secondary to dose-related turmeric supplementation.

We present the case of a 55-year-old woman with a 10-day history of a rapidly progressing generalized rash. History was significant for recent increase in turmeric supplement dose. Clinical presentation was notable for diffuse plate-like yellow scaling of the scalp with lesser involvement of the ears.

Skin Cancer Education Interventions for Primary Care Providers: A Scoping Review.

Primary care physicians (PCPs) are often the first line of defense against skin cancers. Despite this, many PCPs do not receive a comprehensive training in skin conditions. Educational interventions aimed at skin cancer screening instruction for PCPs offer an opportunity to detect skin cancer at earlier stages and subsequent improved morbidity and mortality.

A systematic review and synthesis of qualitative and quantitative studies evaluating provider, patient, and health care system-related barriers to diagnostic skin cancer examinations.

Melanoma-screening examinations support early diagnosis, yet there is a national shortage of dermatologists and most at-risk patients lack access to dermatologic care. Primary care physicians (PCPs) in the United States often bridge these access gaps, and thus, play a critical role in the early detection of melanoma. However, most PCPs do not offer skin examinations.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome with a recall-like reaction within a donor graft site.

We describe a 69-year-old white man with a recent history of a left forearm sarcoma resection treated with a split-thickness skin graft and radiotherapy who presented with cellulitis of the left forearm, for which a 2-week course of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole was prescribed. Ten days into treatment, he presented with flu-like symptoms and a rash. He was eventually diagnosed with Stevens-Johnson syndrome accentuated on the donor split-thickness skin graft on the left thigh region mimicking a recall reaction.
