Reactive perforating collagenosis (RPC) is the most common form of the perforating dermatoses, which include RPC, elastosis perforans serpiginosa (EPS), perforating folliculitis (PF), and Kyrle disease (KD). In RPC, altered collagen of the dermis is extruded through the epidermis, which can be misdiagnosed as other skin diseases, such as vasculitis or prurigo nodularis. RPC is associated with a number of conditions, including diabetes mellitus, hepatitis, and renal failure, and thus the management of the coexisting diseases is important.

Section of Dermatology and Venereology, Department of Medicine, University of Verona, Verona, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- Acquired perforating dermatoses (APDs) are skin conditions characterized by the elimination of skin materials, possibly linked to changes in glycation of dermal components.
- A study with 109 participants compared levels of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) among patients with different skin conditions, including APDs, healthy controls, and those with atopic dermatitis.
- Results indicated that patients with APDs had significantly higher levels of skin AGEs, suggesting a potential role for AGEs in the mechanisms of skin elimination seen in these disorders.

Article Synopsis
- Acquired perforating dermatosis (APD) is a rare skin disorder where connective tissue is eliminated through the skin, with most patients diagnosed with reactive perforating collagenosis (RPC).
- A study of 80 APD patients revealed a higher prevalence of diabetes and a troubling mortality rate, as 23.8% of patients died during the follow-up period.
- The comorbidity rate was notably higher in the RPC subgroup compared to perforating folliculitis, indicating a need for thorough evaluations of underlying health issues in patients with RPC.

Article Synopsis
- Perforating dermatoses are a diverse group of skin diseases characterized by the skin's expulsion of various materials, including collagen, elastic fibers, and keratin.
- Four main types are identified: acquired reactive perforating collagenosis, elastosis perforans serpiginosa, Kyrle's disease, and perforating folliculitis, each differing in the material eliminated through the skin.
- An updated Japanese treatment guideline for these conditions was created based on a comprehensive review of literature from 1989 to 2019, emphasizing consensus among experts despite the limited scope of existing studies.
