Management of the Sequelae of Skin Grafting: Pruritis, Folliculitis, Pigmentation Changes, and More.

Scars commonly give rise to unpredictable, potentially irritating, cutaneous complications including pruritis, folliculitis, and pigment changes. These problems can be self-limiting and are prevalent in many burn cases, although their expression varies among individuals. A better understanding of the presentation, risk factors, and pathophysiology of these long-term sequelae allows for more comprehensive care of burn survivors.

[Inaugural Scalp Metastasis of Pulmonary Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Rare Case Report and Literature Review].

Distant cutaneous metastasis of primary lung squamous cell carcinoma is an exceedingly rare event, with scalp metastasis as the initial clinical presentation even rarer. Scalp skin metastases are prone to be misdiagnosed as other scalp disorders, yet their appearance signifies the deterioration and poor prognosis of lung cancer. This case report documents a female patient presenting initially with scalp folliculitis in dermatology, who was subsequently diagnosed with malignant lung tumor through radiological imaging and referred to Department of Thoracic Surgery.

Demodex folliculorum (Trombidiformes: Demodecidae) infestation in medical students with facial dermatoses and healthy groups.

Demodex folliculorum (Simon, 1842) has been associated with various dermatological conditions. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of Demodex infestation in medical students with facial dermatoses compared with healthy medical students serving as controls. A total of 250 participants were enrolled, including 150 individuals with facial dermatoses and 100 healthy controls.

Artificial intelligence-based prescription of personalized scalp cosmetics improved the scalp condition: efficacy results from 100 participants.

Scalp-related symptoms such as dandruff and itching are common with diverse underlying etiologies. We previously proposed a novel classification and scoring system for scalp conditions, called the scalp photographic index (SPI); it grades five scalp features using trichoscopic images with good reliability. However, it requires trained evaluators.

Panitumumab-Induced Periorbital Dermatitis: A Case Report.

Panitumumab is a recombinant, fully humanized immunoglobulin G monoclonal antibody targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). It is approved for the first- and second-line treatment of advanced wild-type KRAS colorectal cancer. Although common cutaneous side effects include acneiform dermatitis, folliculitis, and xerosis, ocular toxicities have occasionally been reported.

Disseminate and Recurrent Infundibular Folliculitis: Case Report and Literature Review.

We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 1 case of disseminate and recurrent infundibular folliculitis (DRIF) in our hospital and 31 cases of DRIF reported in previous domestic and international studies. There were 32 cases, including 22 males and 10 females, with a mean age of onset of 24.72 ± 13.

Recurrent inverse necrotizing infundibular crystalline folliculitis.

Necrotizing infundibular crystalline folliculitis (NICF) is a rare type of necrotizing folliculitis. The disease typically manifests as folliculocentric papules arising in a seborrheic distribution. Only 23 cases exist in the literature.

Folliculitis might be associated with pathergy-positivity in patients with Behçet syndrome.

Pathergy test indicates nonspecific hyper-reactivity of the skin to aseptic trauma in Behçet syndrome (BS) and is considered as an adjunctive diagnostic test with a good specificity albeit with low sensitivity. We tested the hypothesis that a relationship exists between active clinical manifestations of BS and the pathergy-positivity when performed simultaneously. Pathergy test and detailed dermatologic examination were done in 105 BS patients (60M/45F); who were seen consecutively at the multi-disciplinary BS outpatient clinic in a single tertiary center.
