Study of Causative Factors and Clinical Patterns of Periorbital Pigmentation.

Introduction: Periorbital hyperpigmentation (POH) is one of the common conditions seen in outpatient department. Despite of its huge prevalence, clinical data regarding its etiology and associations are still insufficient.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a clinico-investigational study in 50 patients of periorbital pigmentation.

Efficacy of microneedling with 70% glycolic acid peel vs microneedling alone in treatment of atrophic acne scars-A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Microneedling with dermaroller and glycolic acid peels is commonly used for treatment of acne scars.

Objective: To compare efficacy of microneedling alone versus combination of microneedling with serial 70% glycolic acid peel in management of atrophic acne scars.

Methods & Materials: Sixty patients with atrophic acne scars were randomized into group 1 receiving microneedling at 0, 6, and 12 weeks and group 2 receiving microneedling at 0, 6, and 12 weeks along with 70% glycolic acid peel at 3, 9, and 15 weeks.

Patch Testing in Patients with Suspected Footwear Dermatitis: A Retrospective Study.

Background: Footwear dermatitis represents a common but often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed condition. Patch testing aids in its confirmation and identification of the offending allergen.

Aims: This study aimed to find the frequency of positive patch test reactions in cases with suspected allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) to footwear, as well as the common responsible allergens.

Isolated cutaneous involvement in a child with nodal anaplastic large cell lymphoma.

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a common childhood T-cell and B-cell neoplasm that originates primarily from lymphoid tissue. Cutaneous involvement can be in the form of a primary extranodal lymphoma, or secondary to metastasis from a non-cutaneous location. The latter is uncommon, and isolated cutaneous involvement is rarely reported.

Violaceous Maculopapular Rash in a Newborn: Congenital Rubella Syndrome.

Congenital rubella syndrome involves a configuration of systemic and cutaneous manifestations in a neonate due to in utero infection caused by the rubella virus. The case of a preterm neonate with blueberry muffin lesions and classical as well as rare systemic features of congenital rubella syndrome is reported.

Nevus Comedonicus Syndrome.

A case of nevus comedonicus syndrome with atypical cutaneous presentation (widespread involvement without any particular pattern, midline lesions involving lower abdomen and involvement of bilateral pinna), and some unusual skeletal (adduction deformity involving bilateral metatarsal along with medial deviation at the level of tarsometatarsal joint), central nervous system (agenesis of corpus callosum with a interhemispheric cyst), visceral (pancreatic cyst) and neurological manifestations have been illustrated.
