### Itchy Pink Wheals on the Trunk and Back After a Workout in a Healthy Young Woman
Diagnosis: Idiopathic exercise-induced urticaria (chronic inducible urticaria, exercise subtype)
Summary: A 29-year-old healthy woman presents with recurrent itchy pink wheals on her trunk and back that develop within 10-20 minutes of vigorous exercise and resolve spontaneously within 1-2 hours. This case illustrates exercise-induced urticaria as a distinct idiopathic chronic inducible urticaria, differentiated from exercise-induced anaphylaxis, with management focused on second-generation H1-antihistamines and patient education regarding red flags.
Presentation: <p>A 29-year-old woman presents with a 3-month history of recurrent itchy pink wheals on her trunk and back. These geographic, blanching wheals, measuring 1-5 cm, appear within 10-20 minutes of starting vigorous exercise, such as running, HIIT, or hot yoga, and resolve spontaneously over 1-2 hours. The patient experiences mild burning and intense itch associated with each episode.</p><ul><li><strong>Transient blanching wheals</strong> lasting < 24 hours.</li><li>No individual lesion persists > 24 hours.</li><li>No purpura, scale, or post-inflammatory change between episodes.</li><li><strong>Absence of angioedema</strong>.</li><li><strong>Absence of cardiopulmonary symptoms</strong> during the episode.</li></ul>
History: <p>The patient reports that the wheals consistently occur within 10-20 minutes of vigorous exercise, regardless of her meal status, and resolve spontaneously within 1-2 hours. She has not experienced any symptoms of anaphylaxis, such as throat tightness or dizziness.</p><ul><li><strong>Trigger consistency:</strong> exercise as the sole trigger, with no episodes linked to passive heat.</li><li><strong>Absence of food co-trigger relationship:</strong> no history suggestive of food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (FDEIA).</li><li><strong>No NSAID or alcohol triggers</strong> reported.</li><li><strong>No atopic comorbidities</strong> noted.</li><li><strong>No medications</strong> or recent infections.</li><li><strong>No family history</strong> of mast-cell disease or hereditary angioedema.</li></ul>
Treatment: <h3>Acute / First-Line Management</h3><ul><li><strong>Second-generation H1-antihistamines</strong> are first-line treatment (e.g., cetirizine 10 mg, levocetirizine 5 mg, fexofenadine 180 mg, loratadine 10 mg, or desloratadine 5 mg daily). These should be taken regularly during periods of frequent symptoms rather than only as needed.</li><li>Per EAACI/GA²LEN guidelines, dosing may be up-titrated up to <strong>4x the standard dose</strong> in adults if symptoms are not adequately controlled.</li><li>Pre-treatment with an antihistamine 1-2 hours before exercise may reduce the severity of episodes.</li><li>Encourage cool-down and rapid cooling at the onset of an episode.</li><li>Consider a trial of less heat-intense workouts if symptoms limit activity.</li></ul><h3>Workup and Diagnostic Confirmation</h3><ul><li>Diagnosis is clinical; the key step is excluding <strong>exercise-induced anaphylaxis</strong> (EIA) and <strong>food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis</strong> (FDEIA) through detailed history.</li><li>Baseline tryptase levels can be evaluated to screen for mast-cell disease in cases of recurrent or severe symptoms.</li><li>If cholinergic urticaria is suspected, a passive heating challenge may reproduce symptoms; if symptoms occur only with active exertion, this supports exercise-induced urticaria.</li><li>Routine extensive lab workup is not indicated for typical idiopathic chronic inducible urticaria.</li></ul><h3>Long-Term Management</h3><ul><li>Maintain therapy with second-generation H1-antihistamines, adjusting the dose as needed.</li><li>Consider add-on therapies for refractory cases, such as an H2-antihistamine or leukotriene receptor antagonist (e.g., montelukast, with counseling regarding neuropsychiatric warnings).</li><li>A short course of low-dose oral corticosteroids may be used for severe flares (avoid chronic systemic steroid use).</li><li><strong>Omalizumab</strong> 300 mg SC every 4 weeks can be considered for refractory cases per EAACI step 4.</li><li>Prescribe an <strong>epinephrine auto-injector</strong> and develop a written emergency action plan for patients with red-flag features or suspected EIA/FDEIA. Refer to allergy/immunology as needed.</li><li>Counsel patients to avoid potential co-factors (NSAIDs, alcohol, large meals before exercise) until FDEIA is excluded.</li><li>The expected course is variable; many cases persist for years but often remit spontaneously over time.</li></ul>

### Acute Unilateral Upper Eyelid Swelling and Erythema in a College Volleyball Player
Diagnosis: Preseptal (periorbital) cellulitis secondary to a retained ocular/adnexal foreign body
Summary: This case illustrates a 20-year-old female collegiate volleyball player presenting with acute unilateral upper eyelid swelling and erythema after trauma. It emphasizes the importance of distinguishing preseptal cellulitis from orbital cellulitis at the bedside through careful assessment of visual acuity, pupil response, extraocular motility, proptosis, and chemosis, particularly in athletes with potential retained foreign bodies.
Presentation: <p>A 20-year-old otherwise healthy female collegiate volleyball player presents 48 hours after being struck on the right upper eyelid by a volleyball during practice. She reports progressive swelling, warmth, erythema, and deep aching pain in the affected area. On examination, there is tense, brawny erythematous edema of the right upper eyelid with mechanical ptosis and mild tenderness. The globe appears white and quiet, with intact visual acuity (20/20 OU), equal and reactive pupils, and full painless extraocular movements. Notably, there is no proptosis, chemosis, or pain with eye movement. A careful slit-lamp examination reveals a small embedded foreign body along the tarsal conjunctiva with surrounding focal injection.</p><ul><li><strong>Normal visual acuity</strong></li><li><strong>Full painless extraocular movements</strong></li><li><strong>No proptosis</strong></li><li><strong>No relative afferent pupillary defect</strong></li><li><strong>No chemosis</strong></li></ul>
History: <p>The patient was well until 48 hours prior to presentation when she sustained a mechanical eyelid trauma from a volleyball impact. Over the next 24 hours, she developed progressive swelling, erythema, and warmth in the right upper eyelid, accompanied by deep aching pain.

### Painful Unilateral Vesicular Band Around the Mid-Trunk in a Stressed Young Woman
Diagnosis: Herpes zoster (thoracic dermatome) in an immunocompetent young adult
Summary: Herpes zoster is increasingly recognized in immunocompetent young adults, often precipitated by psychosocial stress. This case highlights a 28-year-old woman who developed a painful unilateral vesicular rash following significant stress. Early initiation of oral antiviral therapy within 72 hours of rash onset is critical to reduce both acute pain and the risk of post-herpetic neuralgia.
Presentation: <p>A 28-year-old otherwise healthy woman presents with a 4-day history of a painful unilateral burning/tingling band on the left mid-trunk. On examination, there are strictly unilateral grouped vesicles on an erythematous base in a single thoracic dermatome, respecting the midline.</p><ul><li><strong>Dermatomal distribution:</strong> Vesicles follow the left T6-T8 dermatomes.</li><li><strong>Lesions in different stages:</strong> Grouped vesicles and pustules noted.</li><li><strong>Prodromal neuropathic pain:</strong> Mild burning pain preceded the rash by 2-3 days.</li><li><strong>Midline respect:</strong> Lesions do not cross the midline.</li><li><strong>No motor or ocular involvement:</strong> Examination reveals no associated neurologic deficits.</li></ul>
History: <p>The patient reports a prodrome of burning and tingling that began 2-3 days before the rash appeared. Over the past 4 days, an erythematous patch evolved into grouped vesicles and pustules, confined to the left mid-trunk. She has experienced significant psychosocial stress due to final exams and a major work project, along with poor sleep, which appears to be the most plausible precipitant. Notably, she is otherwise healthy with no history of immunosuppression.</p><ul><li>Prior varicella infection during childhood, establishing her as a candidate for zoster.</li><li>No zoster vaccine received yet at her age.</li><li>No known HIV risk factors, malignancy, or history of organ transplant.</li><li>Not currently pregnant and no exposure to a non-immune contact.</li></ul>
Treatment: <h3>Acute / First-Line Management</h3><ul><li>Initiate oral antiviral therapy ideally within 72 hours of rash onset: <strong>valacyclovir 1 g PO TID for 7 days</strong> (preferred for convenience) or famciclovir 500 mg PO TID for 7 days, or acyclovir 800 mg PO five times daily for 7 days.</li><li>Provide analgesia with acetaminophen/NSAIDs; consider gabapentin or a short course of low-dose tricyclic for moderate-to-severe neuropathic pain.</li><li>Encourage the use of cool compresses and loose clothing for comfort.</li><li>Educate the patient that vesicular fluid contains VZV, advising to cover lesions and avoid contact with pregnant non-immune women, infants, and immunocompromised individuals until lesions crust over.</li></ul><h3>Workup and Diagnostic Confirmation</h3><ul><li>Diagnosis is typically clinical; however, PCR of vesicular fluid is the gold standard for confirmation (more sensitive than DFA and Tzanck smears).</li><li>Routine HIV testing should be considered in young immunocompetent adults presenting with zoster, particularly if any risk factors or atypical/multidermatomal/recurrent disease is present.</li><li>No need for routine malignancy workup if presentation is otherwise classic and the patient is well.</li></ul><h3>Long-Term Management</h3><ul><li>Monitor for post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN), characterized by pain persisting >90 days after rash onset; risk increases with age but can occur in young adults.</li><li>First-line PHN therapy includes gabapentin/pregabalin, TCAs, topical 5% lidocaine, and capsaicin 8% patch.</li><li>Discuss the recombinant zoster vaccine (Shingrix), which is not currently routinely indicated for those under age 50 in immunocompetent adults, but may be considered in immunocompromised patients aged ≥18.</li><li>Provide lifestyle advice on stress reduction and sleep hygiene as plausible modifiable triggers for zoster.</li></ul>

Summary: A 29-year-old woman presents with a several-week history of an itchy, well-demarcated, blanching erythematous eruption confined to the lower abdomen and bilateral flanks corresponding precisely to the waistband and side seams of her dark synthetic workout pants. The distribution, sparing of skin not in contact with the garment, and exacerbation with sweat and exercise point to allergic contact dermatitis to components of athletic clothing.
Presentation: <p>A 29-year-old otherwise healthy woman presents to a community dermatology clinic with a 4-week history of a pruritic eruption on the lower abdomen and flanks. The rash is most intense after CrossFit workouts and showers and gradually fades over 24-48 hours when she wears looser cotton clothing.</p>
<p>On examination there is a confluent, ill-defined erythematous to slightly papular patch involving the infraumbilical and suprapubic skin, fading in a curved geometric border that mirrors the upper edge of her dark spandex/polyester athletic leggings. Faint linear erythema is also present along the lateral flanks corresponding to the side seams of the garment. There are no vesicles, no scale, no excoriation crusts, and no involvement of the back, anterior thighs, or skin under the bra band. The umbilicus and skin under cotton underwear are spared.</p>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Distribution:</strong> Geometric, conforming exactly to the waistband contact zone of the leggings, with classic sparing of areas covered by cotton undergarments.</li>
  <li><strong>Morphology:</strong> Blanching erythema with fine follicular accentuation; no vesiculation at presentation.</li>
  <li><strong>Symptoms:</strong> Pruritus, occasional burning; worse with sweating and friction.</li>
</ul>
History: <p>The patient began using a new pair of black moisture-wicking athletic leggings approximately 6 weeks before presentation. She trains 5-6 days per week, often in the same garment for 60-90 minutes of high-intensity exercise, and has not been changing immediately after workouts.</p>
<ul>
  <li>No prior personal history of atopic dermatitis, asthma, or allergic rhinitis.</li>
  <li>No new soaps, laundry detergents, fabric softeners, body lotions, or sunscreens.</li>
  <li>No new metal jewelry or belt buckles in the affected area.</li>
  <li>Symptoms remit within 2-3 days when she wears loose cotton clothing and recur within 24 hours of returning to the leggings.</li>
  <li>No systemic symptoms: no fever, arthralgia, mucosal lesions, or generalized eruption.</li>
</ul>
<p>Family history is non-contributory. Medications include only an oral contraceptive.</p>
Treatment: <h3>Acute Management</h3>
<ul>
  <li>Strict avoidance of the suspected garment and any other dark-colored synthetic athletic wear pending evaluation.</li>
  <li>Mid-potency topical corticosteroid (e.g., triamcinolone 0.1% cream) applied twice daily to affected skin for 7-14 days.</li>
  <li>Cool compresses and a fragrance-free emollient (petrolatum-based) for symptomatic relief.</li>
  <li>Oral cetirizine 10 mg nightly for pruritus.</li>
  <li>Counsel on showering and changing immediately after workouts to reduce sweat-mediated allergen leaching.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Definitive Workup</h3>
<ul>
  <li>Refer for comprehensive patch testing including the <strong>North American Contact Dermatitis Group (NACDG) Standard Series</strong>, the <strong>textile dye and finish series</strong> (e.g., Disperse Blue 106, Disperse Blue 124, Disperse Orange 1/3, Disperse Red 1/17, Disperse Yellow 3, formaldehyde resins such as ethyleneurea melamine formaldehyde and dimethylol dihydroxyethyleneurea), and the <strong>rubber accelerator series</strong> (carba mix, thiuram mix, mercapto mix, mixed dialkyl thioureas) to evaluate for elastane/spandex-related allergens.</li>
  <li>Bring the suspect garment to the patch test visit; consider testing a piece of the fabric "as-is" using a wet textile patch test if standard panels are negative.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Long-Term Strategy</h3>
<ul>
  <li>Once specific allergens are identified, provide a written allergen avoidance handout (American Contact Dermatitis Society Contact Allergen Management Program — CAMP — database is the standard tool).</li>
  <li>Recommend 100% cotton, undyed or naturally dyed athletic wear; pre-washing new clothing 2-3 times before wear; avoiding "wrinkle-resistant," "stain-resistant," or "anti-microbial" finishes which often contain formaldehyde resins.</li>
  <li>For athletes who require performance fabrics, consider merino wool or polyester garments certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100, which restricts disperse dyes and formaldehyde.</li>
</ul>

Presentation: Plaque morphea (most common): oval, indurated plaques with ivory-colored center and violaceous border ('lilac ring' indicates active inflammation). Linear morphea: band-like sclerosis, may cross joints causing contractures. En coup de sabre: linear forehead involvement.
History: More common in females, peak onset 20-50 years. No Raynaud or systemic sclerosis features. Linear morphea in children may affect underlying muscle and bone growth. Autoantibodies usually negative or low-titer ANA.
Treatment: Superficial plaque: topical corticosteroids, calcipotriene, tacrolimus, UVA1 phototherapy. Deep/linear/generalized: methotrexate + systemic corticosteroids (first-line). Mycophenolate for refractory. Physical therapy for linear morphea crossing joints.

Summary: Here is demonstrated the axial "centrifugal" distribution of the lesions. (21 days post initial discovery).
“Pityriasis rosea usually begins with a large, scaly, pink patch on the chest or back, which. Clinical photograph sourced from Wikimedia Commons (Public domain). Attribution: Aceofhearts1968.
Presentation: Herald patch: single 2-5cm oval, salmon-colored plaque with collarette of fine scale, usually on trunk. 1-2 weeks later: smaller similar lesions in 'Christmas tree' pattern following Langer's lines on trunk. Spares face/distal extremities (usually).
History: May have mild prodromal symptoms (malaise, headache, sore throat). Self-limited over 6-8 weeks. Rarely recurs (~2%). More common in spring and fall. May cause mild pruritus. Important to exclude secondary syphilis in sexually active patients.
Treatment: Usually no treatment needed (self-limited). For pruritus: topical corticosteroids, oral antihistamines. Some evidence for acyclovir/valacyclovir shortening duration if given early. UVB phototherapy for widespread/symptomatic cases.

History: Risk factors: cumulative UV exposure, fair skin, prior radiation therapy, immunosuppression, arsenic exposure, Gorlin syndrome (multiple BCCs at young age). Most common on sun-exposed areas (head/neck). Rarely metastatic but locally destructive.
Treatment: Mohs micrographic surgery (highest cure rate, tissue-sparing — preferred for face/high-risk). Standard excision with 3-4mm margins. Superficial BCC: topical imiquimod, 5-FU, photodynamic therapy. Advanced/metastatic: hedgehog pathway inhibitors (vismodegib, sonidegib).

Presentation: Infantile: face, scalp, extensor surfaces. Childhood: flexural (antecubital, popliteal fossae). Adult: hands, eyelids, flexural areas. Features: erythema, xerosis, pruritus, excoriation, lichenification. Dennie-Morgan folds, pallor, keratosis pilaris may be present.
History: Personal/family history of atopy (eczema, asthma, allergic rhinitis). Pruritus is the hallmark — 'the itch that rashes.' Triggers: irritants, allergens, stress, infection, climate changes. Sleep disruption common. Assess SCORAD or EASI for severity.
Treatment: Stepwise approach: emollients (foundation), topical corticosteroids (flares), calcineurin inhibitors (maintenance/sensitive areas), crisaborole (PDE4 inhibitor). Moderate-severe: dupilumab (IL-4/13 blocker), JAK inhibitors (upadacitinib, abrocitinib), tralokinumab. Phototherapy for widespread disease.

Treatment: Allergen/irritant avoidance (most important). Acute: cool compresses, topical corticosteroids (mid-high potency), oral prednisone taper for severe/widespread. Chronic: emollients, topical corticosteroids. Patch testing for definitive allergen identification.

Presentation: Discrete, dome-shaped, flesh-colored to pearly papules with central umbilication (dell). Usually 2-5mm. Distribution: trunk, extremities, face in children; genital area in adults. May develop surrounding eczematous dermatitis (molluscum dermatitis). Extensive in HIV/immunosuppression.
History: Self-limited in immunocompetent (6-12 months average, may take 2-4 years). Spread by skin contact, swimming, shared towels. Giant molluscum (>1cm) or extensive disease suggests immunodeficiency — check HIV status in adults.
Treatment: Often self-resolving — watchful waiting is appropriate. Destructive: cryotherapy, curettage, cantharidin. Topical: imiquimod (off-label), tretinoin, podophyllotoxin. Extensive/HIV: treat underlying immunodeficiency, cidofovir for refractory cases.

Diagnosis: Herpes zoster
Summary: Shingles (herpes zoster) is a reactivation of chickenpox, which occurs especially in old age or in immune deficiency. Clinical photograph sourced from Wikimedia Commons (CC BY-SA 3.0). Attribution: The original uploader was Fixi at German Wikipedia.

(Original text: Prof. Cremer).
Presentation: Unilateral dermatomal distribution of grouped vesicles on erythematous base, preceded by pain/paresthesias 1-5 days before rash. Thoracic dermatomes most common. Herpes zoster ophthalmicus (V1): risk of ocular complications. Disseminated zoster in immunocompromised.
History: History of varicella (chickenpox). Age >50 increases risk significantly. Immunosuppression: HIV, malignancy, transplant, immunosuppressive medications. Vaccination status (Shingrix). Assess for prodromal pain, which may mimic MI, cholecystitis, or renal colic.
Treatment: Antivirals within 72 hours of rash: valacyclovir 1g TID × 7 days (preferred) or acyclovir. Pain management: gabapentin, pregabalin, TCAs for PHN. HZO: urgent ophthalmology referral. Prevention: Shingrix vaccine (≥50 years or immunocompromised ≥19 years).

Summary: Cellulitis of lower leg and foot with swelling evident. Clinical photograph sourced from Wikimedia Commons (CC BY-SA 4.0). Attribution: cbinrva.
Presentation: Expanding area of erythema, warmth, swelling, and tenderness without sharp borders. Unilateral in most cases. May have associated lymphangitis (red streaking), lymphadenopathy, and systemic symptoms (fever, malaise). Bullae or hemorrhagic changes indicate severe infection.
History: Portal of entry: skin break, tinea pedis, insect bite, wound, eczema. Risk factors: lymphedema, venous insufficiency, obesity, prior cellulitis, immunosuppression. Recurrence common (~20-30%) — address predisposing factors.
Treatment: Mild (no systemic symptoms): oral antibiotics (cephalexin, dicloxacillin; TMP-SMX + amoxicillin if MRSA risk). Moderate-severe: IV antibiotics (cefazolin, vancomycin if MRSA). Abscess: I&D ± antibiotics. Treat predisposing factors (tinea pedis, edema). Penicillin prophylaxis for recurrent episodes.

Summary: Cellulitis case, left shin infection.. Clinical photograph sourced from Wikimedia Commons (CC BY-SA 3.0). Attribution: RafaelLopez.
Presentation: Expanding area of erythema, warmth, swelling, and tenderness without sharp borders. Unilateral in most cases. May have associated lymphangitis (red streaking), lymphadenopathy, and systemic symptoms (fever, malaise). Bullae or hemorrhagic changes indicate severe infection.
History: Portal of entry: skin break, tinea pedis, insect bite, wound, eczema. Risk factors: lymphedema, venous insufficiency, obesity, prior cellulitis, immunosuppression. Recurrence common (~20-30%) — address predisposing factors.
Treatment: Mild (no systemic symptoms): oral antibiotics (cephalexin, dicloxacillin; TMP-SMX + amoxicillin if MRSA risk). Moderate-severe: IV antibiotics (cefazolin, vancomycin if MRSA). Abscess: I&D ± antibiotics. Treat predisposing factors (tinea pedis, edema). Penicillin prophylaxis for recurrent episodes.

Diagnosis: Impetigo
Summary: Facial impetigo.. Clinical photograph sourced from Wikimedia Commons (CC BY 3.0 de). Attribution: Klaus D. Peter, Wiehl, Germany.
Presentation: Non-bullous: begins as erythematous macule → vesicle/pustule → characteristic golden/honey-colored crusts. Bullous: flaccid bullae that rupture leaving shallow erosions with collarette of scale. Perioral and perinasal distribution common.
History: More common in warm, humid climates. Risk factors: crowding, poor hygiene, minor skin trauma, pre-existing dermatoses (eczema, scabies). Highly contagious — outbreaks in schools and daycare. MRSA increasingly common cause.
Treatment: Limited: topical mupirocin or retapamulin. Extensive/bullous: oral antibiotics (cephalexin, dicloxacillin; TMP-SMX or doxycycline if MRSA suspected). Wound care: gentle debridement of crusts. Keep lesions covered to prevent spread.

. Clinical photograph sourced from Wikimedia Commons (CC BY-SA 4.0). Attribution: Masryyy.
Presentation: PV: flaccid bullae that easily rupture leaving painful erosions. Mucosal involvement in >50%. Positive Nikolsky sign (lateral pressure causes epidermal separation). PF: superficial erosions with crusting, primarily on trunk/face, no mucosal involvement.
History: Peak onset 40-60 years. May be drug-induced (ACE inhibitors, penicillamine, rifampin). Sephardic Jews and Mediterranean populations at higher genetic risk. Progressive course without treatment — historically fatal.
Treatment: First-line: systemic corticosteroids + rituximab (now first-line per guidelines). Steroid-sparing: mycophenolate, azathioprine. IVIG for acute flares. Monitor: anti-desmoglein titers correlate with disease activity.

Summary: Painful plantar warts at the balls of both feet. Clinical photograph sourced from Wikimedia Commons (CC BY-SA 4.0). Attribution: Węgrowski.
Presentation: Common warts: firm, rough, dome-shaped papules with black dots (thrombosed capillaries). Plantar warts: endophytic, painful with walking. Flat warts: smooth, flat-topped papules on face/hands. Genital warts: soft papillomatous growths.
History: Immunosuppression increases risk and recalcitrance. Children and young adults most commonly affected. Swimming pools and shared showers are common transmission sites. May spontaneously resolve (65% within 2 years in immunocompetent patients).
Treatment: First-line: cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen, salicylic acid (OTC). Second-line: imiquimod, cantharidin, intralesional bleomycin, 5-FU. Recalcitrant: pulsed dye laser, immunotherapy (intralesional Candida antigen). HPV vaccination prevents genital and some cutaneous types.

Presentation: Intensely pruritic papules, vesicles, and linear burrows in characteristic distribution: interdigital web spaces, wrists, elbows, axillae, periumbilical area, genitalia. Crusted (Norwegian) scabies in immunocompromised patients shows thick hyperkeratotic plaques.
History: Pruritus worse at night (mite activity increases with warmth). Close contacts often symptomatic. Institutional settings at higher risk. Symptoms develop 2-6 weeks after primary infestation, within 1-3 days with re-infestation.
Treatment: First-line: permethrin 5% cream (apply neck-down, wash off 8-14 hours). Alternative: oral ivermectin (200 mcg/kg, repeat day 8-15). Treat all household contacts simultaneously. Launder bedding/clothing in hot water. Crusted scabies: combined topical + oral treatment.

### Molluscum Contagiosum
Diagnosis: Molluscum Contagiosum
Summary: Shiny dome-shaped papules with central umbilication caused by a poxvirus. Case submitted by Dr. Shahbaz A. Janjua to dermRounds.
Presentation: Shiny dome-shaped papules often with central umbilication (depression). Most commonly skin-colored or pinkish, though may also be hypopigmented or hyperpigmented. In adults, it is most commonly spread through sexual transmission, and thus found in groin or genital area. In children, most commonly NOT found in the groin or genital area.
History: Case submitted by dermatologist Dr. Shahbaz A. Janjua to dermRounds Dermatology Network. Originally published on archive.dermrounds.com. Molluscum contagiosum is caused by a virus, specifically a poxvirus. It is spread through direct contact or through sharing of items such as towels. In adults, it is most commonly spread by sexual contact. More common in young children, and less frequently in older children and adolescents.
Treatment: Usually diagnosed through visual examination, though if needed, a biopsy or smear of the contents may be performed. Treatment may include: no treatment, topical treatments such as cantharidin (blistering beetle juice), cryotherapy (cold spray), or scraping the spot. In the US, molluscum contagiosum in adults is most commonly treated with cryotherapy if seen in a doctor's office. In kids with eczema or atopic dermatitis, the molluscum can be more difficult to get rid of.

Presentation: When we want to treat our skin diseases or want to improve our skin condition or want to look younger the first thing we think about skin specialists. Skin specialist is a doctor sometimes a physician also who is in charge of treating skin related problems. After all, the skin is one of the largest organs of our body and provides protection against different external stimuli like microorganism, injuries, etc and also provides the shape of our body.

But as in India people only know that dermatologist is skin specialist but it is wrong a dermatologist is a kind of skin specialist. Due to a different kind of skin disease, people get confused they don’t have any clue about which right kind of skin doctor according to their problems. But today we will know about a different kind of skin expert on the basis of different problems.

Dermatologist - A Dermatologist is a doctor who treats various types of diseases some common type and some are chronic type. As per medical science, they treat 3000 different types of diseases. If you have skin problems like discoloration or patchy skin or hives and other skin problems, you should go for the dermatologist.

Cosmetologist-Cosmetologist is a skin expert who practices cosmetics treatment of skin, nail and hair. So, if you have beauty related queries and issues then cosmetologist is the right kind of skin doctor.

Cosmetic or Aesthetician dermatologists are trained as a dermatologist but after that, they have done specialization in the treatment of skin, nail and hair-related issues. For treatment, they use a non-invasive procedure. The Cosmetic dermatologist treats the following types of practices

Chemical peels- A technique to treat age spots, fine line wrinkles, and skin discoloration by applying a chemical solution and peel it off.

Dermabrasion- It is an exfoliating technique that improves skin appearance by removing the skin layer. It uses to treat fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, etc.
Laser surgery- This technique is used to remove the tissue or some part of the skin also removal of unwanted moles and collins from the skin. This is not like a major surgery it only takes a few minutes to complete without any cut on the skin.

Collagen injection- By using collagen injection you can improve your skin appearance and muscles. It is like a supplement to your skin&#039;s natural collagen.
So, if you want to treat birthmark, removal of hair or moles through laser you should look for a cosmetic dermatologist who is the right kind of skin doctor for this type of issue.

Presentation: &quot;This 2007 photograph depicts the pathognomonic erythematous rash in the pattern of a “bull’s-eye”, which manifested at the site of a tick bite on this Maryland woman’s posterior right upper arm, who’d subsequently contracted Lyme disease.
Lyme disease patients who are diagnosed early, and receive proper antibiotic treatment, usually recover rapidly and completely. A key component of early diagnosis is recognition of the characteristic Lyme disease rash called erythema migrans. This rash often manifests itself in a “bull&#039;s-eye” appearance, and is observed in about 80% of Lyme disease patients.

Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, and is transmitted to humans by the bite of infected blacklegged ticks. Typical symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, and as illustrated here, the characteristic skin rash called erythema migrans. If left untreated, infection can spread to joints, the heart, and the nervous system. Note that there are a number of PHIL images related to this disease and its vectors.&quot;

Summary: &quot;This 2006 photograph depicted a lateral view of an adult bed bug, Cimex lectularius, as it was in the process of ingesting a blood meal from the arm of a “voluntary” human host.

Although some disease organisms have been recovered from bed bugs under laboratory conditions, none have been shown to be transmitted by bed bugs outside of the laboratory.

Presentation: &quot;This 2006 photograph depicted a lateral view of an adult bed bug, Cimex lectularius, as it was in the process of ingesting a blood meal from the arm of a “voluntary” human host.

Bed bugs are not vectors in nature of any known human disease. Although some disease organisms have been recovered from bed bugs under laboratory conditions, none have been shown to be transmitted by bed bugs outside of the laboratory. Bed bug bites are difficult to diagnose due to the variability in bite response between people, and due to the change in skin reaction for the same person over time. It is best to collect and identify bed bugs to confirm bites. Bed bugs are responsible for loss of sleep, discomfort, disfiguring from numerous bites and occasionally bites may become infected.

The common bed bug C. lectularius is a wingless, red-brown, blood-sucking insect that grows up to 7 mm in length and has a lifespan from 4 months up to 1 year. Bed bugs hide in cracks and crevices in beds, wooden furniture, floors, and walls during the daytime and emerge at night to feed on their preferred host, humans.

The common bed bug is found worldwide. Infestations are common in the developing world, occurring in settings of unsanitary living conditions and severe crowding. In North America and Western Europe, bed bug infestations became rare during the second half of the 20th century and have been viewed as a condition that occurs in travelers returning from developing countries. However, anecdotal reports suggest that bed bugs are increasingly common in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.&quot;

Presentation: &quot;This large tumor presented as a protuberant mass on the buttock of a 45-year-old woman. Microscopically it showed sheets of undifferentiated cells with high nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio, a high mitotic rate, a occasional inconspicuous nucleoli.

Immunostains showed strong dot-like and diffuse cytoplasmic positivity for cytokeratins 20, CAM5.2, and AE1-AE3, as well as granular staining for synaptophysin and chromogranin. There were negative reactions for cytokeratin 7, gross cystic disease fluid protein 15, melan-A, S-100 protein, and thyroid transcription factor 1-alpha.

Even though the histologic features and immunostain profile was characteristic of a primary skin tumor, the presentation is atypical. Usually, Merkel cell carcinoma presents on the sun-exposed areas of elderly individuals. Therefore, the pathologist recommended workup for the possibility of another primary site, including lung, female genital tract, salivary gland, and other cutaneous site.&quot;
