Keloids occur commonly after trauma to the skin, with ear piercing being a well-known inciting event. We surveyed 32 patients keloids resulting from piercing, examine potential relationship between age of and keloid formation.A total consecutive completed survey about ear-piercing formation. Fisher's exact test was used for data analysis.Fifty percent (n = 16) developed their first piercing. Twenty subsequent piercings. Those who had piercings at > or =11 years were more likely develop (80%)...
Abstract: Argininosuccinicaciduria is a rare metabolic disorder of the urea cycle associated with inability to excrete nitrogenous waste in form urea. Along low serum arginine, hepatomegaly, and mental retardation, congenital trichorrhexis nodosa distinguishing feature disorder. We present 3.5‐year‐old girl diagnosed argininosuccinicaciduria who presented dermatology clinic hair thinning loss since birth. Microscopic evaluation revealed nodular swellings on shafts frayed cortical fibers...
Abstract Linear atrophoderma of Moulin ( LAM ) is a rare dermatologic disorder characterized by hyperpigmented that consistently follows the lines B laschko. There are many clinical and histologic similarities between , P asini ierini APP ), morphea, whether represents part disease spectrum or its own distinct entity debated. This case 16‐year‐old boy with supports hypothesis morphea disorders rather than unique entities. Although patient's overall picture diagnosis hyperpigmented, depressed...
Multiple common cutaneous reactions, including delayed large local urticaria, and morbilliform eruptions, have been attributed to vaccinations, the messenger RNA–1273 COVID-19 vaccine (Moderna).1 Although less frequent, vaccines also implicated in triggering papulosquamous psoriasis, lichen planus, and, rarely, pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP).
