Article Synopsis
- Pityriasis rosea (PR) is a temporary skin disorder starting with a single patch (herald patch) and followed by more lesions within 1-2 weeks.
- A case was reported involving a 15-year-old girl who developed PR symptoms after her second Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine dose, including a primary patch on her wrist and itchy skin eruptions.
- The patient was treated successfully with acyclovir, and the report suggests further research is needed to explore the link between COVID-19 vaccination and the occurrence of PR or similar skin reactions.

Article Synopsis
- Genital lymphedema typically appears 4-30 years after chronic hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), but in this case, it developed just 2 years post-diagnosis of HS.
- The patient also faced renal amyloidosis, an uncommon HS complication, leading to end-stage renal disease despite being asymptomatic.
- At 42 years old, the patient was treated with prednisolone and adalimumab for both HS and renal issues, with recommendations for screening moderate-to-severe HS patients for amyloidosis after 3 years to prevent similar outcomes.
