Erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp (EPDS) is an uncommon disease and primarily affects older men who have photodamaged bald scalp, as was confirmed by our case series. EPDS is probably an overlooked disease, whose diagnosis is often missed because of a higher incidence of other cutaneous diseases affecting the same area and usually secondary to chronic actinic damage, such as actinic keratosis, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. For the first time, we report a case series of misdiagnosed EPDS with the aim of understanding why a diagnosis of EPDS was initially missed and try to give some tips to avoid future diagnostic delay.

The Keratinocytic cancer is the most common form of skin cancer and the most common cancer in humans. Predisposing risk factors include ultraviolet radiation, genetic predisposition, chronic immune suppression, smoking, which also determines the risk groups - middle and old age, light skin phenotype, outdoor work and frequent sunburns. The origin of the epidermal cell type determines the clinical division of keratinocytic cancer into basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Clinically, keratinocytic cancer is presented as a solitary, sometimes destructive, growing-sized lesion. The most lesions are characterized by a low degree of malignancy. Neglecting them by both the patient and medical professionals leads to their growth and metastasis, as SCC has a higher potential for metastasis. The main place in the treatment of keratinocytic cancer is the surgical method, and the most common in clinical practice is the so called elliptical excision. The gold standard in hardto-reach places is the Mohs micrographic operation. In this publication we present eleven clinical cases of patients with keratinocytic cancers in different topographic regions of the human body. Patients were treated surgically by elliptical excision and complete removal of tumor formations in accordance with the recommended fields of surgical safety. The defects were closed with single skin sutures and the sutures were removed on the 14th postoperative day. No complications were observed in the postoperative period.

Seborrheic Keratoses

In everyday practice, cosmetologists often observe abnormalities on the facial skin of his or her clients. Facial lesions have a diverse clinical picture, although most are benign. However, some lesions may be malignant and demand fast diagnosis and treatment. Among benign lesions are xanthomas, epidermal cysts, milia and seborrheic keratoses. Xanthomas are usually localized on the eyelids and often coexist with dyslipidemia. They appear clinically as yellowish papules that vary in size. Epidermal cysts are the most common type of skin cyst. They typically occur on the head and neck, and usually affect young adults in their 20s. Milia are common skin lesions that are typically numerous in presence and appear as small-sized sebaceous papules. Seborrheic keratoses are another important type of lesion that are localized on the face and may be disturbing for clients. These are benign tumors that usually appear in individuals over 50 years of age and have an incidence that rises with age. Typically, they are brown in color but they can also be other colors including black, yellow, grey or bluish. Other skin changes include basal cell carcinoma, actinic keratosis, squamous cell carcinoma and lentiginous malignant melanoma. Basal cell carcinoma is a slow-growing, locally malignant epithelial cancer of the skin. This cancer presents mainly in areas exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Actinic keratosis is a pre-cancerous lesion that is associated with UV radiation. It predisposes to squamous cell carcinoma and other skin cancers rarely. In contrast to basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma may cause metastases with high mortality. Melanoma on the head and face usually takes the form of a lentiginous malignant melanoma. This manifests clinically as a brown spot that slowly grows centrifugally. Melanomas vary in size and color. Dermoscopy is an important tool that may help during diagnosis of facial lesions. Given the severe consequences of some skin lesions, it is very important for cosmetologists to have knowledge of the conditions described above. This is because he or she is often the first person who can persuade the client to undergo further diagnosis.
