Article Synopsis
- - Seborrheic keratosis (SK) is usually a harmless skin growth in adults, but its rare occurrence in infants presents diagnostic challenges for doctors, particularly when it resembles another condition called epidermal nevus (EN).
- - The case discusses a child with a unique variant of SK showing a specific pattern (nevo-blaschkoid) that makes it hard to classify, but certain microscopic features can help distinguish it from EN.
- - A shave biopsy was performed on the child's skin lesion, confirming it as SK and allowing for effective removal, addressing both diagnosis and treatment in one procedure.
Article Synopsis
- Favus is a rare chronic scalp infection primarily affecting children, though some adult cases exist, featuring yellowish plaques and hair loss.
- An adult patient presented with a non-scalp lesion resembling psoriasis in the forehead area, which led to a diagnostic challenge after she declined a biopsy.
- Diagnosis was confirmed using potassium hydroxide stains, and treatment with itraconazole led to complete recovery, highlighting the importance of basic diagnostic methods in limited-resource environments.
