Article Abstract
We report the case of a 6-year-old male who developed recurrent erythema nodosum (EN) at the age of 3 years. The patient exhibited hypertelorism, low-set ears, micrognathia, moderate intellectual disability, thin long fingers, loose anagen hair, and prominent palmoplantar wrinkles. A heterozygous single nucleotide variant in the gene (c.4 A > G, p.S2G) was identified. Patients with a mutation exhibit a unique combination of ectodermal abnormalities including darkly pigmented skin and loose anagen hair. This report is the first to describe EN in a patient with mutation, and to examine the patient's hair using scanning electron microscopy. We hypothesize that the RAS/MAPK pathway is associated with the pathogenesis of cutaneous lesions in patients with mutations via autoinflammation and disturbance of epithelial stem cells.

Recalcitrant Palmar Warts Treated With Q-Switched Potassium Titanyl Phosphate Laser and Cryotherapy: A Case Report.

Dermatology, Hospital Carlos Roberto Huembes, Managua, NIC.
Recalcitrant palmar common warts pose a considerable challenge in dermatology due to their frequent persistence despite various treatment attempts. The thick stratum corneum of the palms and the constant pressure and friction in this location contribute to their resistance to therapy and a high rate of recurrence. We report the case of a 33-year-old male with a 26-month history of a progressively enlarging palmar wart refractory to extensive conventional therapies, including 18 intermittent sessions of liquid nitrogen cryotherapy administered over the course of his 26-month history, two electrofulguration sessions, and various topical agents.

The main culprit behind cutaneous candidiasis, a fungal infection that can lead to major dermatological and systemic health problems, is Candida albicans. Over the past 20 years, cutaneous candidiasis has become more prevalent, especially in hospitalized or immunocompromised patients. Conventional treatment methods employ antifungal drugs like azoles and polyenes, which are effective but have drawbacks because of their high recurrence rates, negative side effects, and growing antifungal resistance.

Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a rare and aggressive breast cancer type, accounting for 5-7% of breast cancer-related deaths, and its bilateral involvement is exceedingly uncommon. We report a case of metachronous bilateral IBC in a 50-year-old premenopausal woman with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, offering novel insight into the diagnostic, therapeutic, and molecular challenges of this condition. The patient initially presented with acute right breast erythema, skin thickening, and , followed by contralateral breast involvement with similar symptoms.

Introduction: Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition marked by excessive M1 macrophage polarization and angiogenesis, resulting in erythema and tissue inflammation. Despite available treatments, many patients experience recurrent flare-ups. This study explores chelerythrine, a bioactive component of Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex, for its therapeutic potential in rosacea through modulation of NF-κB, p38 MAPK and STAT3 signaling, inflammation, and vascular regulation.
