We have found a high incidence (4.8%) of allergy to hydrocortisone in patients with suspected allergic contact dermatitis. In view of this finding we would suggest that, in any condition that does not improve or that deteriorates after administration of hydrocortisone, allergy to this compound should be considered.

Department of Medicine, MacKay Medical College, New Taipei City, Taiwan; and.
Disseminated hypopigmented keratosis is a rare distinct clinical entity. This report describes the case of a 19-year-old male patient who developed disseminated hypopigmented keratosis 2 months after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for pineal choriocarcinoma. The patient displayed numerous tiny whitish or depigmented macules and papules on the chest, back, posterior neck, shoulders, arms, and thighs, closely resembling lichen nitidus.

Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a type of chronic inflammatory disorder that affects all age groups including children. AD is characterized by elevated inflammatory marker levels.
Aim: To assess the safety and effectiveness of topical tacrolimus ointment versus topical hydrocortisone cream in the treatment of pediatric AD by comparing the two treatments' ability to reduce serum cytokines.
Challenges in Diagnosing Addison's Disease: A Case Report.

Article Synopsis
- - Addison's disease is a rare condition resulting from damage to the adrenal glands, leading to a deficiency of hormones and presenting with symptoms like fatigue and gastrointestinal issues.
- - A 36-year-old woman with a history of intestinal obstruction exhibited symptoms including bronzed skin, muscle weakness, and electrolyte imbalances, which led to the diagnosis being confirmed by CT scan showing adrenal calcifications.
- - Treatment with hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone improved her condition, highlighting the need for awareness and timely diagnosis of Addison's disease for effective hormone replacement therapy and monitoring.
Early Congenital Syphilis Presenting With Severe Congenital Pneumonia and Cutaneous Manifestations in a Neonate at Birth: A Case Report.

Transplacental transmission of spirochetes from an infected mother to the fetus during pregnancy results in the infectious condition known as congenital syphilis (CS). Once a forgotten disease, CS has now re-emerged. We report the clinical case of an early CS in a neonate girl presented with severe congenital pneumonia (pneumonia alba) requiring intubation, along with skin lesions that were visible from birth on the palms and soles of the feet.

Department of Pharmacy, LEO Foundation Center for Cutaneous Drug Delivery, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark. Electronic address:
In this proof-of-concept study, we aimed to develop an anti-inflammatory patch that in contrast to the semi-solid standard therapy is dry and non-greasy, and only needs to be changed once a day due to continuous release of the active ingredient over 24 h. While fiber materials for the treatment of inflammatory skin diseases have been reported in the literature, the majority of studies focuses solely on material characterization including in vitro release studies; however, there is a lack of ex vivo permeation studies as well as comparison with standard therapy. However, such experiments are crucial to deduct the potential efficacy of the drug delivery system, as skin absorption of the drug may be the rate-limiting step and not the drug release.
