Introduction: Ocular rosacea is an underdiagnosed form of rosacea that may occur with or without typical cutaneous signs of rosacea. One of the common manifestations is dry eyes. Although the use of intense pulsed light (IPL) in the treatment of rosacea-related dry eyes has been reported, a recent review is lacking.

Ocular manifestations of rosacea are poorly studied, and estimates of prevalence vary widely, ranging from 6% to 72% in the rosacea population. Treatment options for ocular rosacea include lid hygiene, topical and oral antibiotics, cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion, oral vitamin A derivatives, and intense pulsed light; however, a direct comparison of treatment methods for ocular rosacea is lacking.

- Hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) is a common childhood infection, with atypical skin symptoms often linked to coxsackievirus A6 (CVA6), leading to unusual lesions beyond the usual areas.
- A systematic review of 85 studies revealed that most affected children were around 2.4 years old, with typical skin findings including vesicles, papules, and bullae, particularly on arms and face, and identified CVA6 in 63% of cases.
- The atypical presentations can cause misdiagnoses and excessive treatments, highlighting the need for better understanding and awareness of these variations to enhance patient care and infection control guidance.
