Article Synopsis
- Piezogenic pedal papules (PPP) are small skin lesions that occur when fat pushes through the skin, often spotted when someone stands.
- They are typically light in color and can be linked to certain connective tissue diseases, including mitral valve prolapse (MVP), which involves issues with the heart valve.
- The case studies presented suggest that while PPP are usually seen as isolated issues, they could indicate underlying heart conditions like MVP, prompting the need for thorough cardiac evaluations in affected patients.
Triggering drug use in patients with psoriasis: an investigative report from Turkey.
Postepy Dermatol Alergol
October 2014
Introduction: The patients clinically diagnosed with psoriasis were investigated for drug use that may trigger psoriasis.
Aim: To minimize the triggering drug use and help the medical treatment of psoriasis patients.
Material And Methods: The study involved 289 psoriatic patients who attended our clinic in 2010-2012 and were asked to bring their drug lists of the last year, which they obtained from the pharmacy's record system.
Background: In daily dermatological practice, many dermatologists do not include demodicosis in their differential diagnoses, or the diagnosis of demodicosis is frequently masked by other skin diseases such as papulopustular or erythematotelangiectatic rosacea, seborrhoeic dermatitis, perioral dermatitis and contact dermatitis. There are two methods for measurement of the density of Demodex folliculorum (Dd): standardized skin surface biopsy (SSSB) and direct microscopic examination of fresh secretions from sebaceous glands (DME). No study has been reported in the literature comparing the diagnostic value of these two techniques.
