Facial discoid dermatosis (FDD) is a recently described condition comprising discrete facial papulo-squamous lesions. We report three cases that clinically and histologically resemble FDD and demonstrate its resistance to treatment. Awareness of this new clinical entity will allow early diagnosis and the ability to make patients aware that there is unlikely to be a successful treatment. However, our study suggests that although FDD can persist for many years, it appears to remain stable.

In this study, the effects of incorporating arginine-modified peptide into the structure of discshaped bicelles were investigated. Characterization of bicellar system was conducted using different techniques, including dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential, cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). Bicelle skin permeability as drug carriers was also evaluated.

Power tools can presently be considered only relatively new, while Piezo has gained great popularity over the last years.

Article Synopsis
  • Vitiligo has been linked to lupus erythematosus and other autoimmune diseases, but the exact reasons for this connection are still unclear.
  • The report details a 51-year-old man who had skin lesions for 3 years and had vitiligo for 12 years, later progressing from discoid lupus erythematosus to hypertrophic discoid lupus erythematosus.
  • The authors review similar cases to provide insights into the clinical characteristics, aiming to help dermatologists in diagnosing and treating these conditions.
