1/39. keratosis lichenoides chronica: marked response to calcipotriol ointment.keratosis lichenoides chronica (KCL) is a rare dermatosis characterized by a distinctive seborrheic dermatitis-like facial eruption, together with violaceous, papular, and nodular lesions on the extremities and trunk, typically arranged in a linear and reticulate pattern. KLC is resistant to therapy, although spontaneous remission has been reported. We describe a 35-year-old woman with KLC who had the typical features of widespread violaceous, reticulate, and striae-like eruptions with a prominent keratotic component over a nine-year period and who responded well to treatment with calcipotriol ointment. The immunohistochemical profiles are presented in addition to typical histopathologic features.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = dermatitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/39. Four cases of sebopsoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis of the face and scalp successfully treated with 1a-24 (R)-dihydroxycholecalciferol (tacalcitol) cream.A 71-year-old woman visited our clinic due to the presence of widespread scaly erythema on her face, scalp, and lower extremities. She was tentatively diagnosed as having seborrheic dermatitis but the symptoms were difficult to distinguish from psoriasis vulgaris. As a result, she was diagnosed as having sebopsoriasis. She was treated topically with an active vitamin D3 compound, 1a-24 (R)-dihydroxycholecalciferol D3 (tacalcitol) cream. She applied tacalcitol cream twice daily for 4 weeks, and her facial eruptions thus cleared up completely. No recurrence was observed for 2 months thereafter, even though the use of tacalcitol cream was stopped. To investigate whether or not tacalcitol cream is generally effective for the treatment of such seborrheic dermatitis-like eruptions, three more patients were treated with tacalcitol cream. All patients exhibited scaly erythematous macules on the face and/or scalp, and their eruptions improved rapidly with tacalcitol cream. Tacalcitol cream was thus found to be effective and useful for the treatment of both sebopsoriasis and even seborrheic dermatitis of the face and scalp.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 7keywords = dermatitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/39. Generalized seborrheic dermatitis in an immunodeficient newborn.We report the case of a female infant with failure to thrive, generalized seborrheic dermatitis, and intermittent diarrhea. Results of laboratory investigation revealed low serum immunoglobulin g IgG levels. She failed to gain additional weight and experienced recurrent infection. She died 3 months later.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = dermatitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/39. Pimecrolimus: a new treatment for seborrheic dermatitis.Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic recurrent inflammatory skin condition that mainly affects areas containing sebaceous glands. I present a case of a novel effective topical nonsteroidal treatment (pimecrolimus 1.0% cream) for facial seborrheic dermatitis. Pimecrolimus is a member of a new class of nonsteroidal agents- macrolactam immunomodulators.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6keywords = dermatitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/39. Topical pimecrolimus in the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis.Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that mainly affects seborrheic areas of skin. An inflammatory response to the yeast Pityrosporum ovale has been thought to be important in the etiology of the condition. Therefore, topical antifungals and corticosteroids have been the mainstay of treatment. The recent development of topical macrolactam immunomodulators has offered a useful, safe alternative to corticosteroids in the treatment of various inflammatory skin disorders. We report successful treatment of seborrheic dermatitis with pimecrolimus.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6keywords = dermatitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/39. Perioral dermatitis, an important side-effect of corticosteroids.Perioral dermatitis has been ascribed to the use of oral contraceptives, cosmetics, toothpastes of to an infection with candida or fusobacteria, etc. However, seborrheic diathesis, together with the use of potent topical steroids, appeared to be the main cause of the affection. This was confirmed with the help of a number observations in the clinic and by inference from data regarding the geographical spread of the potent steroids.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = dermatitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/39. Multiple clinical manifestation of HTLV1 infection in a single patient.HTLV-1 infection is endemic in the Caribbean and several publications have reported the clinical disease entities seen in this population of patients. This case report is an account of a patient admitted to Kingstown General Hospital, St Vincent and the Grenadines, who had severe infective dermatitis, tropical spastic paraparesis (TSP) and Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). As far as we are aware, all three diseases have not been described in a single patient.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = dermatitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/39. Seborrhoeic dermatitis of the scalp--a manifestation of Hailey-Hailey disease in a predisposed individual?A 59-year-old man was found to have typical Hailey-Hailey disease of the back, neck and axillae. In addition, he had fine white scaling in the scalp and postauricular areas. Despite the clinical appearance of seborrhoeic dermatitis, a biopsy of his scalp showed prominent suprabasal epidermal separation with acantholysis. We propose that in a genetically predisposed individual, Hailey-Hailey disease can assume atypical and non-specific appearances.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = dermatitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/39. Transient band-like keratopathy after treatment for seborrheic dermatitis.PURPOSE: To describe a case of transient band-like keratopathy after ocular exposure to fluocinonide cream and ketoconazole shampoo. DESIGN: Observational case report. RESULTS: A 40-year-old patient presented with acute pain, photophobia, lacrimation, and redness in 1 eye. The symptoms began while using fluocinonide cream and ketoconazole shampoo as treatment of seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp. Examination revealed white clumpy deposits in a horizontal band across the inferocentral corneal epithelium and conjunctival hyperemia. Corneal scrapings revealed no cells or organisms, and culture was negative. The lipophilic deposits dissolved during slide fixation and processing. With conservative treatment the deposits resolved in 3 days. CONCLUSION: We present a case of transient band-like corneal deposit, a novel complication of fluocinonide and ketoconazole exposure.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = dermatitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/39. Seborrheic dermatitis-like tinea faciei.We report a 10-year-old Caucasian child who had erythema and abundant scaling on the nasolabial folds, the upper lip, and on the nose. Both the abundant scaling and the localization on the central part of the face led us to suspect seborrheic dermatitis. Direct microscopic examination of some scales removed from the lesions showed septate and ramified ectothrix hyphae. Cultural examination on Sabouraud medium led to the identification of the trichophyton mentagrophytes species. We described this patient to highlight the importance of considering tinea faciei in the differential diagnosis of all facial eruptions and the value of mycologic examination.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = dermatitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
