High Index Of Suspicion

<p class="abstract">Presentation of two papulosquamous disorders in a same individual is rare condition till date. Independently, psoriasis and Lichen planus (LP) are common inflammatory skin conditions affecting around 2-3% and 1% of HIV (Human immune deficiency) positive population respectively. As reviewed in the literature, psoriasis may be independently associated with other autoimmune conditions like vitiligo, alopecia areata, lichen planus, and discoid lupus erythematosus. In this article, we presented a case report of a HIV seropositive patient who suffered from psoriasis and lichen planus. The coexistence of psoriasis and lichen planus in one individual is rare and underreported in literature. Psoriasis or lichen planus may be the presenting feature of HIV infection and tends to be more severe, to have atypical presentations. Psoriasis and lichen planus can be coexistent or successionally appear one after other in one individual though rare presentation. High index of suspicion is always required while dealing with papulosquamous lesions in PLHIV.</p><p> </p>

Oral Lichen

Many red and white lesions of the mouth are clinically indistinguishable from those of oral lichen planus (OLP). These lesions, often referred to as oral lichenoid lesions (OLL), can occur as a result of contact sensitivity (lichenoid contact reactions), drug reactions or as part of chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD). Oral lesions in discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can also have a similar clinical appearance to OLP. Distinguishing oral lichen planus from oral lichenoid lesions, lupus lesions, or other red and white lesions of the mouth can be difficult (even impossible) but it is important, for optimal management of each condition. All patients with red and white pathological lesions should be referred to an oral medicine or a local oral or maxillofacial surgery department, where a biopsy and other investigations can help to establish a diagnosis, and appropriate treatment and monitoring can be commenced. Dentists and other members of the dental team, such as hygienists and dental therapists, should also equip themselves with the knowledge to be able to explain different pathologies of the mouth to their patients and discuss risk factors.

Dermoscopy is a helpful non invasive bedside technique in clinical dermatology practice which allows us to make a quick and accurate diagnosis of many complicated and atypical skin diseases. Hence its acquaintance is imperative for all the dermatologists. The aim of this article is to make the science of dermoscopy lucid and easy. This article is intended to highlight the common signs in dermoscopy which will foster the usage of dermatoscope in regular cutaneous examination. The conditions discussed in this review article are psoriasis vulgaris, lichen planus, lichen planus pigmentosus, vitiligo, pityriasis versicolor, eczema, pityriasis rosea, melasma seborrheic keratosis, discoid lupus erythematosus ,prurigo nodularis, lupus vulgaris, alopecia areata , nevus sebaceous, dermatofibroma, pigmented purpuric dermatosis and cutaneous small vessel vasculitis.
