Abstract

circumscribed, highly pruritic, hyperkeratotic, and hyperpigmented papules occurring typically over the shins, outer aspects of upper arms, and on the upper back with amyloid deposits in the papillary dermis. Several therapeutic strategies, including topical steroids, oral antihistamines, cyclosporine, retinoids, laser, phototherapy, cryosurgery, and surgical interventions, have been reported as treatment options for patients with LA, but no standardized treatment has been established.Case report: A 58-year-old man came to the Dermatovenereology Outpatient Department complaints of itchy blackish-brown papules on the shins. Dermatology examination found discrete multiple hyperpigmentation papules and plaque covered with white scale. A scar-like center surrounded by brownish circles or white edges was found from the dermoscopic examination. The histopathological examination found thickened keratin with compact orthokeratosis and hyaline materials in the papillary dermis with dendritic melanophages. The patient diagnosed with LA and treated by combining desoximetasone cream 0.25% with 3% salicylic acid. The papules on the legs had flattened in the patient, with a significant improvement in the severe itching after three weeks.Conclusion: Combination therapy of potent corticosteroids and keratolytic seems to be an appropriate modality and well-tolerated by LA patients. Skin lesion becomes thinner, and pruritus is reduced.

Abstract

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that typically starts in childhood with classic symptoms of dry and itchy skin that occurs continuously and recurrences and even causes sleep disorders and skin that is susceptible to infection. AD sufferers often have atopic comorbidities such as asthma and allergic rhinitis in themselves and their families. The effects of this itching cycle result in growth disturbance and decreased quality of life for AD patients and their parents. Moderate and severe AD have an impact on parents, the stress in medication, and care, which takes up time and money. Atopic dermatitis is due to damage to the skin barrier, so the principle of management is to improve the skin barrier so that the inflammatory process can be avoided. The course of AD is chronic and relapsing; generally, patients come for treatment with an acute phase that sometimes requires topical corticosteroids. However, topical corticosteroids (TC) are used only to treat the acute phase for a short period. After the acute lesions have subsided, corticosteroids can be stopped immediately to prevent side effects and continue with daily skincare.Conclusion: Topical corticosteroids are first-line therapy in the acute phase. The choice of TC is based on age, body location, dosage, and severity of AD. If the acute lesion has subsided, then corticosteroids can be stopped and substituted with other antipruritic therapy and moisturizer.

Abstract

Background: Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune disease characterized by mucocutaneous blistering and erosion. This is rare, but greatly affects the patient’s life quality and often cause complication of disease and therapy. Hyperglycemia is a complication due to steroid use called glucocorticoid-induced hyperglycemia (GIH). This case report describes hyperglycemia in PV treatment, which later can be a consideration of PV management.Case: A 44-year-old male patient complained of painful lesions on almost the whole body with a form of bullae, erosion, crusting, brittle, the Nikolsky sign (+), and Asboe-Hansen sign (+). The patient was diagnosed with PV. After he had supportive therapy and high-doses of methylprednisolone, his blood sugar is increased. Patients diagnosed by hyperglycemia state due to steroid use, then given insulin as therapy. The patient diagnosed with PV based on history taking and physical examination, but the histopathologic examination wasn’t done due to lack of modality at the hospital. The steroid was given as an immunosuppressive. Be the main therapy for PV, steroids lead hyperglycemia due to disruption of glucose metabolism, thereby increasing insulin resistance in tissues. The diagnosis of hyperglycemia due to steroid use is made in a patient with a normal sugar level before PV therapy. It occurred within the first 1-2 days of therapy. In these patients, diagnosis confirmed by increasing pre-prandial, 2 h post-prandial, and any-time glucose level, after two days methylprednisolone administration. Collaboration with internal medicine colleagues is needed.Conclusion: PV treatment with steroids can induce hyperglycemia, which is dangerous. The understanding mechanism is needed to make early detection and provide therapy properly.

In addition, there were still no national and international guidelines for scrofuloderma. This review to give insights and review about an update in the basic principle of scrofuloderma and management.

Abstract

Background: Pustular psoriasis in children is one of the clinical variants of psoriasis. It is classified into generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) and localized pustular psoriasis. The aetiology of psoriasis in children has not been known but is believed to be multifactorial. Nail psoriasis rarely occurs in children who suffer from skin psoriasis, with an incidence lower than that reported in adults. The diagnosis is generally made from the clinical and histological examination. The choice of therapy depends on the severity of the disease. Until now, there have been no specific guidelines for the management of psoriasis in children.Case report: A-15-years-old Balinese girl presenting with erythema, confluent scaly plaques over the trunk and extremities with pustules localized on the lower extremity. She had a history of fever before the lesions appear. Right third digital nails examination showed subungual hyperkeratosis and onycholysis. Positive auspitz sign and karsvlek phenomena were found. Biopsy result suitable for psoriasis. The patient got improvement after treated with methotrexate tablet orally and desoximetasone cream topically within four weeks without any side effect.Conclusion: Combination therapy with methotrexate tablet and desoximetasone cream give an effective result. However, the safety and side effects of methotrexate in children still need further monitoring.
