BACKGROUNDNone of the therapeutic options for the treatment of keloids has been found completely effective and satisfactory. A radiofrequency ablation can be new treatment modality in keloid and hypertrophic scar.The aim of this study was to assess the clinical safety and efficacy of radiofrequency (RF) in keloid and hypertrophic scar.

Aim: The aim is to study the dermoscopic findings of various cicatricial and noncicatricial alopecias and to explore the
utility of dermatoscopy in examination and diagnosis of various hair loss disorders Materials And Methods : All
alopecia patients attending skin OPD in Dr.PDMMC college and hospital,Amravati from January 2019 to January 2021,to
study dermoscopic findings along with detailed history and cutaneous examination Result: Out of 63 cases 14 were
found to have cicatricial alopecia and 49 were non cicatricial Most of the patients belonged to the age group 21-30 years.
Most common presentation was Alopecia areata followed by Androgenetic alopecia. Most common dermatoscopic

A young male patient came to OPD with complaints of excessive sweating over palms and soles since 8 months which
was affecting his routine activities. He had taken treatment from few doctors but didn't get satisfactory results from
anyone. Eventually he came to us with the same complaints.
After taking detailed history & physical examination, we found some other findings which we thought were not related to
his primary complaints like greying of hair. But eventually while searching for some syndromic associations, we
unexpectedly found this rare case of Book's syndrome. Currently patient is having excellent results & responding nicely
to our treatment.
Vitamin B12 deficiency is common in vegetarian population in India and can present with variable Hematological
(megaloblastic anemia), Neuropsychiatric, Mucocutaneous (glossitis, angular stomatitis), Skin (pallor,
hyperpigmentation) and Hair changes (dry, brittle, thin, lustreless, prematurely grey). Knuckle hyperpigmentation has
been described in vitamin B12 deficiency but usually these patients are dermatologically asymptomatic but they have
systemic manifestations like megaloblastic anemia, pancytopenia or neurological deficits. The foreground of this study
is highlighting the importance of knuckle hyperpigmentation as an early cutaneous sign of vitamin B12 deficiency which
points an important clue towards the aetiology of Megaloblastic anemia.
