Addressing psychosocial factors is an important aspect of the management of vitiligo, particularly in patients from communities where the disease is greatly stigmatizing.

The authors have indicated no significant interest with commercial supporters.S kin needling or percutaneous collagen induction (PCI) suing a dermal rolling device (a needling tool) is an office procedure used for managing postacne scars. The treatment of postvaricella scars and postacne scars usually requires multiple sessions. We would hereby like to report the undesirable effect of "tram tracking" with the use of this microneedling technique.

Syringocystadenoma papilliferum is a rare benign adnexal skin tumor of apocrine or eccrine glands. We report here an 18-year-old girl who had linear syringocystadenoma papilliferum in the pubic region, which is very rare.

Becker's nevus otherwise known as Becker's pigmented hairy nevus, is a common melanotic epidermal hypermelanosis. It usually presents as a large unilateral patch of hyperpigmentation and hypertrichosis on the shoulder, chest, or back of an adult man. It can be bilateral or multiple and affect areas other than the usual sites. We report a 16-year-old boy with two Becker's nevi on the left side of the face in a segmental distribution with extension onto the oral mucosa. This case is being reported for its rare presentation.

Background:Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are the most severe adverse drug reactions in children.Objectives:The objective was to study the causative drugs and outcome in children with SJS, SJS-TEN overlap, and TEN.Materials and Methods:Retrospective analysis of all the in-patient records of children below 18 years of age with the diagnosis of SJS, SJS-TEN overlap, and TEN was carried out.Results and Conclusions:Twenty children were identified, eight patients each were diagnosed as SJS and TEN and four as SJS-TEN overlap. Multiple drugs were implicated in 15 cases while single drug was responsible in 5 cases. Antibiotics (40.7%) were implicated as the commonest cause followed by NSAIDS (25.9%) and anticonvulsants (7.4%). Seventeen patients recovered completely and three patients died.

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) usually presents as a raised, firm, pink to skin-coloured keratotic papule, plaque or ulcer, arising on sun-exposed skin. We report an unusual case of a 65-year-old male patient who presented with a 1-year history of multiple discharging sinuses on his chin, which on investigation was found to be an SCC. A malignancy should be considered in the differential diagnoses of patients presenting with multiple discharging sinuses on the chin. We discuss other possible diagnoses for sinuses presenting on the face.
