Nonscarring DHL is a multifactorial condition with highest incidence in 21- to 40-year age group. Serum ferritin, serum vitamin B12, and D3 levels seem to have a contributing role in the pathogenesis of hair loss, and their supplementation may be needed for a faster regrowth of hair in all cases of hair loss irrespective of the pattern.
Any highly visible dermatosis has repercussions with regard to quality of life, acne is no exception, and dermatologists are more and more aware of this. 1,2 Studies have reported feelings of embarrassment, self-consciousness, and loss of self-confidence among adolescents with acne. 3 Problems with personal relationships, seeking employment, and participation in sport have also been highlighted. 4,5 The inclusion of QoL scores in core outcome measures is now a popular idea. 6 Recent studies have reported that acne and acne relapses are associated with deterioration of quality of life. 7,8 Assessment of psychosocial consequences of acne and the impact on quality of life is
Background
Venous lakes are asymptomatic, cosmetically unacceptable vascular malformations commonly present over the lips. Most of the lesions do not warrant any therapeutic intervention.
Objective
We herein report a 20‐year‐old male patient with venous lake who was treated using intralesional radiofrequency (RF) by modified insulated intravenous cannula as an extended probe.
Methods
An RF ablation was performed under local infiltration anesthesia using intravenous infusion cannula as an extended insulated probe to deliver current.
Results
The venous lake was obliterated immediately post‐procedure with minimal inflammatory change. It showed good cosmetic results with minimal scarring and no recurrence at 18 months of follow‐up.
Conclusions
Intralesional RF using modified insulated probe is a useful alternative treatment and may be considered to treat small venous lakes.
En coup de sabre is a rare subtype of morphea. Only a few bilateral cases have been reported to date. We report a case of a 12‐year‐old male child with two linear brownish depressed asymptomatic lesions over the forehead with hair loss on the scalp. After thorough clinical, ultrasonography and brain imaging, a diagnosis of bilateral en coup de sabre morphea was made and the patient was treated with oral steroids and weekly methotrexate.
