“…Molluscum contageosum is commonly acquired by children from infected children via non-sexual skin contact as in bathing or swimming. In children, MC is frequently seen on the face, extremities and trunk, but rarely occurs in genital area (14)(15)(16). If present in genitalia, MC appears as small papules with central umbilication.…”

Introduction: Anogenital area is a small compartment in the human body. Recognition of various dermatological conditions affecting this area in children is essential for any physician involved in pediatric examination and evaluation. Aim: To assess the nature, diagnoses, and gender differences of Anogenital lesions in pediatric patients presented to Royal Medical Services (RMS) general dermatology clinics, who were five year old and younger. Methods: The authors reviewed patients' medical records in the period between September 2015 and September 2018. The inclusion criteria were children of both genders who were five year old or younger and presented with papular lesions in the Anogenital area. Those patients visited the general dermatology clinics of The Royal Medical Services Hospitals from the Eastern and Southern regions of Jordan. Results: Over a period of 3 years, a total of 514 patients were five year old or younger presented with various Anogenital papular lesions were evaluated and treated in general dermatology clinics. 35% of the patients presented with Perianal Psuedoverrucous Papules and nodules, 21% presented with Anogenital warts, 16% presented with Molluscum Contageosum. Moreover, 10% were presented with Epidermal nevi, 6% presented with Pearly Penile Papules, 7% presented with Infantile Perineal Pyramidal Protrusion, 4% presented with Vulvar Vestibular Papillomatosis, 0.2% presented with Juvenile Xanthogranuloma, 0.2% presented with lymphangioma Circumscriptum, and 0.2% presented with median raphe cyst. In addition, gender differences were noticed among Genital Warts, Mollascum Contageosum, Pearly Penile Papules, and Vulvar Vestibular Papillomatosis. Conclusion: Anogenital papules in children have variable clinical presentations and can be caused by multiple number of infectious and non-infectious factors. The presence of such lesions can be a source of a major concern for parents, and might be mistakenly assumed as a result of sexual assaults. Proper recognition of these papules is of paramount importance for all physicians involved in children examination, to appropriately reassure parents and avoid unnecessary investigations and psychological distress.

Background:Eczema herpeticum is a rare, severe, and disseminated infection of herpes simplex virus in the setting of eczematous skin diseases.Methods:We experienced a case of this disease in a 9-month-old infant characterized by a sudden onset of monomorphic vesicles on the head, right lower leg, and two hands. The infant has a 7-month history of atopic dermatitis and his condition was initially regarded as a complication of atopic dermatitis and bacterial infection. After treatment of cefoperazone and dexamethasone, the eruptions got worse. The diagnosis of eczema herpeticum was made according to the clinical features and further confirmed by the findings of herpes simplex virus type 2.Results:The infant was cured by oral treatment with valacyclovir.Conclusion:The case highlights that the awareness for the sign of eczema herpeticum when diagnosing children with a sudden onset of disseminated vesicles in the setting of chronic skin disease should be increased. Oral valacyclovir may be an effective and convenient treatment option for pediatric outpatients with eczema herpeticum.
