In the present study, calcitriol ointment was found to be better tolerated and would appear to be more effective than calcipotriol ointment in the treatment of psoriasis in sensitive areas.
A case of erythema multiforme-like reaction, following therapy with sulfadimethoxynum is reported in a 19-year-old male patient. Histological examination demonstrated a subepidermal bulla and direct immunofluorescence revealed linear deposition of IgA at the dermoepidermal junction. These observations illustrate that linear IgA bullous dermatosis can mimic the clinical features of erythema multiforme and suggest the possibility of drug-induced pathogenesis.

Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is an uncommon idiopathic proliferation of blood vessels that manifests in adults as isolated or grouped papules, plaques, or nodules in the skin of the head and neck. We describe the case of a 31-year-old woman with a 3-year history of persistent ALHE, located on the tragus of her right ear, with no sign of spontaneous regression over a period of 3-6 months and refractory to intralesional corticosteroids. We report the successful use of the Nd:YAG laser for this condition, which offered excellent symptomatic and cosmetic results and suggests the consideration of this modality in the treatment of ALHE.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations鈥揷itations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
