Perforating dermatoses are dermatologic disorders with transepidermal elimination (TE) of dermal substances. While TE is typically associated with collagen and elastin, it can also occur as a secondary event in other processes, and it is important to keep a broad differential. We present a case of perforating tophaceous gout, which underscores the need for a thoughtful approach to perforating disorders. An updated review of recent literature is also presented.

Acquired perforating dermatoses (APD) encompass a group of skin conditions distinguished by transepidermal elimination of dermal components. Acquired reactive perforating collagenosis (ARPC), a subtype of APD, has been reported most commonly in association with diabetes mellitus, chronic renal failure, and medications. In this report, we identify a novel case of ARPC secondary to Cabozantinib treatment.

Purpose: This study evaluates whether delaying the first bath affects late preterm infants' skin barriers, body temperatures, and comfort.
Background: Late preterm infants' skin is drier and has a limited water retention capacity compared to term infants and adults. It is important to determine timing of care for this population with limited competencies.
Acquired Perforating Dermatosis After Herpes Zoster: Wolf Isotopic Response.
J Cutan Pathol
January 2025
Department of Dermatology, Hangzhou Third People's Hospital, Hangzhou, China.
Article Synopsis
- Wolf isotopic response (WIR) is when a new skin disease develops at the same spot as a previously healed skin condition, most often seen after herpes zoster but also in other skin-related diseases.* -
- Acquired perforating dermatosis (APD) involves the elimination of collagen from the skin, creating ulcerative papules that are frequently linked to broader health issues like diabetes or kidney failure.* -
- The report highlights a unique case of APD following WIR and examines existing literature on the topic.*

An Unusual Case of Kyrle Disease.
Cureus

Dermatology, Dr. D. Y. Patil Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre, Dr. D. Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, Pune, IND.
Article Synopsis
- Kyrle disease is an acquired perforating disorder linked to conditions like type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease, characterized by skin lesions that show transepidermal elimination of dermal contents upon histopathological examination.
- In the reported case, the patient exhibited only hyperuricemia as an abnormal lab finding, with no typical associated conditions present, making the cause of the disease unclear.
- Treatment focused on addressing the underlying issues; however, the patient saw improvement with medications like acitretin, dapsone, and topical corticosteroids, highlighting the need for more research on factors like hyperuricemia in cases lacking classic associations.
