Fixed drug eruption (FDE) is a type of drug-induced skin inflammation characterized by the recurrence of lesions in the same region following repeated exposure to the causative drug. FDE typically presents as localized spots or plaques without systemic symptoms; however, it can manifest in other forms, such as blisters and papules. In FDE, effector memory CD8-positive T cells that remain dormant in the basal layer after a previous inflammation are reactivated upon re-exposure to the causative drug, leading to the development of erythema at the same sites.

Background: Over the past few decades, percutaneous sclerotherapy has been proven to be efficacy in treating macrocystic lymphatic malformations (LMs). Unfortunately, there still remains challenging in the treatment of microcystic LMs given their size. We introduce the intralesional laser thermolysis (ILT) technique, a novel enhancement technique for the traditional percutaneous sclerotherapy in the treatment of microcystic LMs.

A meticulous examination of the oral cavity is an essential part of the initial newborn assessment. The differential diagnosis can involve benign and self-limiting lesions to those lesions compromising quality of life. We present a clinical case of a newborn born with a purple, hard tumour on the hard palate that spontaneously regressed, being thus compatible with the case of a sucking blister.

Article Synopsis
  • Bothrops snake venom causes serious local effects like pain, swelling, and bleeding; it's made up mostly of metalloproteinases and phospholipase A2 toxins.
  • A study on 22 patients in Manaus highlighted common symptoms such as fang marks, infections, and blistering, along with specific skin changes like spongiosis and hyperkeratosis.
  • The findings suggest that both the venom and the body’s inflammatory response contribute to skin damage, indicating a need for improved treatment strategies for snakebite victims.

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most prevalent autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease of the skin and mucous membranes. This disease typically affects the elderly and manifests with pruritus and localized or, most commonly, generalized bullous lesions. Numerous studies have established the association between BP and oral antidiabetic agents, particularly dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) inhibitors, diuretics, and certain antibiotics, notably levofloxacin and cephalexin.
