Folliculitis decalvans (FD) is a rare, chronic inflammatory disorder that primarily affects the scalp, leading to scarring alopecia. The condition is classified as a primary neutrophilic cicatricial alopecia and is characterized by pustules, erosions, and scaly-crusty lesions, often associated with pain, itching, and burning sensations. The pathogenesis is not fully understood, though infection and immune dysregulation are implicated.

Acrokeratosis verruciformis of Hopf (AVH) is a rare dermatological disorder associated with keratotic lesions primarily on the dorsal surfaces of the hands and feet, caused by a missense mutation in the ATP2A2 gene. Here, we report the case of a 24-year-old woman presenting with multiple wart-like lesions on the hands, feet, and neck over four years. A V-shaped notch on the nails indicated nail dystrophy.

Article Synopsis
- Syphilitic balanitis, also known as Follmann balanitis, is a rare condition associated with primary syphilis, initially described by Eugene Follmann.
- It involves inflammation of the glans and may present with a primary chancre and swollen lymph nodes in the groin, but can easily be confused with other types of balanitis.
- A case of Follmann balanitis was diagnosed in a patient with secondary syphilis, confirmed through clinical signs, positive blood tests for syphilis, and effective treatment with benzathine penicillin.
Treatment options in refractory chronic spontaneous urticaria.
Curr Opin Allergy Clin Immunol
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) can be challenging to treat, as 10-50% of patients do not respond to typical antihistamines or even higher doses, often leading to corticosteroid use.
- Third-line treatment options like omalizumab and cyclosporine exist but can also be ineffective for some patients.
- Recent research suggests azathioprine may be an effective alternative, and ongoing studies are exploring additional treatment options for patients with refractory CSU.

- Limited literature exists on the effectiveness of emollients in treating chronic dermatophytosis, prompting a study to assess their efficacy compared to topical azoles.
- The study involved 80 patients, divided into two groups, with group A using topical azole and group B using emollient after 6 weeks of initial treatment; clinical remission was tracked for 12 weeks.
- Results showed no significant difference in recurrence rates between the two treatments, indicating that emollient use is as effective as topical luliconazole in maintaining remission.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the psychosocial effects and financial concerns faced by women with facial hirsutism, emphasizing a lack of existing literature on the subject.
- Using questionnaires, researchers assessed the quality of life, financial burden, and worry levels among 50 women with excessive facial hair.
- Results indicate a high psychosocial impact (DLQI score of 15.98) and significant financial considerations related to treatment, particularly laser therapy, which was notably more burdensome than other methods.
