Article Synopsis
- - Degos disease, also known as malignant atrophic papulosis, is a rare, systemic condition that affects blood flow and is not commonly found in young individuals.
- - The key feature of this disease is a specific type of skin lesion: a papule that has a white, sunken center surrounded by a red, spider-web-like area.
- - A case study highlights an adolescent girl who experienced severe kidney failure due to blood clotting issues caused by the disease, along with the distinctive skin lesion observable through a dermatoscope.
Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common, chronic dermatosis, with onset of disease often manifesting in early infancy. Past studies evaluating the early use of moisturisers in the prevention of AD had mixed results.
Objectives: To compare the incidence of moderate or severe AD and total incidence of AD in a cohort of 'at-risk' infants treated with moisturisers from the first 2 weeks of life, to a similar group without moisturisers.
