Dermatitis Atopic, a kind of chronic skin disease that happens a lot in the world, tend to be increased in number and relatively difficult to treat. Most of them appear along with another atop ic condition such as Hay and asthma. The cause is not clearly un derstood yet. It’s thought to be the combination of genetics and environment. Many says that ther e’s emotional factor involved. It’s not the cause of the disease but it worsen or triggers the relaps. People of Dermatitis  Atopic with anxious kind of  personality have prone to relaps e easier than those who are not. This study figured out whether the degree of Dermatitits Atopic manifestation is correlated with the score o f anxious scale on MMPI of the Dermatitis Atopic female patien ts in Dr. Soetomo Public Hospital Surabaya.   The method was analytical study with cr oss sectional approach, started from  Juli   2009 until Desember 2009. The datas was taken from policlinics of Skin and Venereal Desease Department of Dr. Sutomo Pu blic Hospital Surabaya. Fivety three samples were taken, while 7 of them were failed due to high invalid MMPI score.  The result showed that there was significant correlation between  the degree of Dermatitits Atopic manifestation with the score   of anxious scale on MMPI of the Dermatitis Atopic female pati ents. The correlation was medium to high.  Keywords: Dermatitis Atopic, Anxious Personality, MMPI

During terminal differentiation of vertebrate epidermis, certain specific keratin intermediate filament (KIF) proteins are produced. Keratinization of the epidermis involves cell death and disruption of the cytoplasm, leaving a network of KIF embedded in an amorphous matrix which forms the outer horny layer known as the stratum corneum. Eventually these cells are shed (desquamation). Normally, the processes of differentiation, keratinization, and desquamation are regulated in an orderly manner. In psoriasis, a chronic skin disease, a hyperkeratotic stratum corneum is produced, resulting in abnormal desquamation of unusually large scales. In this disease, the normal KIF proteins are diminished in amount or absent, and other proteins more typical of proliferative epidermal cells are present. There is also evidence of proteolytic degradation of the KIF.

Because of sudden death of several frogs following the renewal of a terrarium, two giant ditch frogs (Leptodactylus fallax) were submitted for post-mortem examination. The animals displayed extensive erythematous to ulcerative skin lesions as well as multiple granulomas in the liver, kidney and skeletal musculature. In skin lesions as well as in the brownish granulomas, pigmented fungal sclerotic bodies were found in addition to pigmented hyphal structures, though less common. The fungal pathogen, although not further classified in this study was identified as the etiological agent for chromoblastomycosis (synonym: chromomycosis), a leading cause of fatal systemic disease in poikilothermic animals. It is also a cause of chronic skin disease in human beings and therefore a potential zoonotic agent.

Rosacea is a common, chronic skin disease that affects the facial pilo-sebaceous glands. It is characterised by erythema, flushing and sometimes papules. It typically affects the convex surfaces of the face, most commonly the forehead, cheeks, chin and nose. Rosacea predominantly affects the Caucasian population, with prevalence being higher in northern Europe than southern Europe. It is three times more common in females and peaks between 30 and 60 years of age. Rosacea can usually be well managed with topical or oral treatments in primary care, although some forms of rosacea or treatment-resistant cases may need specialist input.
