“…In this case, lesions are typically located on the scalp and have a circular arrangement 38. Other sites of atypical location,1 in addition to the oral mucosa, include the palms and soles, the areola/nipple,39,40 the conjunctiva,41 lips,42 eyelids,43 among others 44. Clinical presentation of periocular lesions has been described as erythematous, nodular umbilicated, big/giant, conglomerated, inflamed, or pedunculated 45.…”

Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a self-limited infectious dermatosis, frequent in pediatric population, sexually active adults, and immunocompromised individuals. It is caused by molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV) which is a virus of the Poxviridae family. MCV is transmitted mainly by direct contact with infected skin, which can be sexual, non-sexual, or autoinoculation. Clinically, MC presents as firm rounded papules, pink or skin-colored, with a shiny and umbilicated surface. The duration of the lesions is variable, but in most cases, they are self-limited in a period of 6-9 months. The skin lesions may vary in size, shape, and location, which is more frequent in immunosuppressed patients, and could present complications such as eczema and bacterial superinfection. The diagnosis is based on clinical findings. A useful clinical tool is dermoscopy. If the diagnostic doubt persists, confocal microscopy or skin biopsy could be performed. The need for active treatment for MC is controversial; however, there is a consensus that it should be indicated in cases of extensive disease, associated with complications or aesthetic complaints. There are several treatment modalities which include mechanical, chemical, immunomodulatory, and antivirals. The objective of this article is to review the current evidence in etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management alternatives of MC.

Ocular manifestations of dermatological diseases part I: infectious and inflammatory disorders

Skin and eyes share a common embryological origin from the embryonic surface ectoderm. Ocular manifestations are one of the most important and common associations of dermatological diseases. Currently, there are few comprehensive reviews of the ocular manifestations of dermatological diseases. We have reviewed more than 40 published articles related to the ocular manifestations of the most important dermatological diseases. The search included Pubmed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane databases from 2014 to 2019. This review was divided into three parts including infections, inflammatory, genetics, connective tissue, autoimmune, neoplasms, and drug-related disorders. We excluded metabolic, endocrine, and nutrition-related dermatological diseases. The relationship of ocular manifestations and dermatological diseases is important to recognize for appropriate management since many dermatological diseases can manifest initially with ocular findings. In this part, we summarized the most common and significant ocular findings in infectious and inflammatory dermatological disorders with appropriate referral recommendations to ophthalmology.

Cienc Tecnol Salud Vis Ocul. 2017;15(2):95-109. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.19052/sv.4199 RESUMEN Este artículo se basa en la revisión y profundización de los conceptos relacionados con la virulencia del virus del papiloma humano (VPH) en el segmento anterior ocular, coexistente con papilomas múltiples palpebrales. Objetivo: conocer las características clínicas, terapéuticas y epidemiológicas de la infección del VPH en el segmento anterior ocular y los párpados, así como sus diagnósticos diferenciales. Metodología: revisión sistematizada y exhaustiva de literatura científica relevante que evidencia objetividad en su comprensión y reproductividad en su conclusión; la búsqueda se limitó a una revisión sistemática de metanálisis y ensayos clínicos, en idioma inglés y español, a partir del año 2000, basada en la valoración de la calidad de los estudios brindada por la Universidad de Oxford. Resultados: se llegó a un amplio conocimiento de las infecciones producidas por el VPH en el segmento anterior ocular, además de determinar sus características clínicas, terapéuticas, epidemiológicas y preventivas; así mismo, se analizaron los diagnósticos diferenciales. Conclusión: hoy en día, la infección por el VPH se considera de gran importancia para la salud de los seres humanos; por lo tanto, el optómetra debe estar documentado sobre el tema para brindar un diagnóstico adecuado, a partir de la identificación de los síntomas y los signos, con el fin de lograr un acertado manejo.
