Granuloma faciale is a rare localized idiopathic inflammatory skin disorder that manifests as reddish-brown or violaceous papules, plaques, or nodules. It usually occurs in middle-aged adults and is rare in children. We are reporting a case of granuloma faciale in a 31-year-old male.

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder involving primarily the intertriginous skin of the axillary, inguinal, genital, and perianal areas of the body. It is characterized by recurrent inflamed nodules and abscesses, resulting in fistulae, fibrosis, and scarring. We present a case of HS refractory to local and systemic antibiotic therapy as well as anti-TNF and anti-IL12/23 that was successfully treated with secukinumab (anti-IL17A).

<p>Skin can provide a vital clue to diagnosis of internal disease. Exfoliative dermatitis (erythroderma) is an uncommon potentially serious inflammatory skin disorder characterized by an intense, widespread erythema and variable scaling. It results from aggravation of pre-existing skin disease, or may be caused by drugs or neoplasms. Although various paraneoplastic dermatoses may occur in association with carcinoma lung, erythroderma as the sole presenting feature is infrequently reported in literature. Herein we describe an elderly male in whom recalcitrant erythroderma led to the diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma lung with fatal outcome.</p>

Background: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder that may be initiated or exacerbated by some drug intakes. Some of the most common medications known to trigger or worsen existing psoriasis include lithium, gold salts, beta blockers and antimalarials. Conclusion: We report an exceptional case of plantar psoriasis in a woman who was treated by olmesartan for 3 years.

Background: Lichen planus (LP) is an acute or chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by discrete, violaceous, polygonal papules. Objective: In this study, we aimed to categorize the dermoscopic images of LP and LP variants before and after treatment. Methods: We analyzed and categorized the dermoscopic images of 255 LP lesions from 60 patients who had been clinically diagnosed with LP or LP variants and confirmed by histopathological examination. We reanalyzed and categorized the dermoscopic images of 50 lesions from fifteen patients after treatment. Results: We observed different Wickham striae (WS), pigment, and vascular patterns according to the LP variant, lesion localization and disease duration. Reticular, circular, linear, globular, radial streaming, perpendicular, and veil-like (structureless) WS patterns were detected on dermoscopic examination. Peripheral/diffuse dot globules, peripheral/diffuse peppering, perifollicular/annular, linear, reticular, circular, cobblestone, and homogeneous cloud-like pigment patterns were especially prevalent in LP pigmentosus and regressive LP lesions. As for vascular patterns, there were red dots/globules, radial linear, and peripheral homogeneous patterns described upon dermoscopic evaluation. Conclusion: Dermoscopic evaluation can be useful both in the diagnosis and follow up of LP.
