Background: Cutaneous mucinosis can be a primary or secondary reaction, as seen in connective tissue diseases, lupus erythematosus, metabolic diseases, paraproteinemias, and even malignant lymphomas.
Objective: Focal cutaneous mucinosis usually arises as a result of the dysfunction of fibroblasts in a local area. It may arrive from various mechanical stimulations.
Methods: We presented an unusual heretofore unreported case of a polypoid mucinosis.
Conclusion: The local mucin deposition in this patient was considered as a secondary change from frequent friction by clothes.

Papulonodular mucinosis is a rare dermatological condition characterized by mucin deposition in the dermis, leading to the formation of papules and nodules that can occur with, or antedate, autoimmune connective tissue diseases. This case report presents a 67-year-old female with a chronic history of cutaneous mucinosis, which posed significant diagnostic challenges. Despite various treatments and extensive diagnostic workup, her condition evolved, highlighting the difficulties in diagnosing papulonodular mucinosis, especially in the absence of systemic lupus erythematosus and antinuclear antibody positivity.

Scleromyxedema is a rare chronic fibromucinous disorder characterized by a generalized papular and sclerodermoid eruption. Despite its clinical significance, no definitive therapeutic guidelines exist for scleromyxedema, making management challenging. Herein, we present a case of a 76-year-old female patient referred for evaluation of systemic sclerosis, presenting with distinctive cutaneous manifestations and neurological symptoms.

A 3-year-old boy presented with an unusual combination of indurated skin, sclerotic plaques with lichenification, and yellowish papules. Histopathology revealed diffuse dermal mucin deposits, and laboratory tests showed a positive throat culture for Group A streptococcus and elevated serum anti-streptolysin titers. An 10-day course of oral amoxicillin was associated with near-complete resolution of all dermatological findings within 4 months.
