“…In the disseminated stage, smaller, annular lesions may be found in a polycyclic pattern. [6667] The late cutaneous manifestation is acrodermatitis chronic atrophicans, where small papules progress to large plaques with central atrophy, induration, and ulceration. Lyme disease is also characterized by neurological abnormalities and episodes of arthritis.…”

Dermatology and rheumatology are two specialties that deal with significant overlap. In this context, it is important that the dermatologists acquaint themselves with conditions presenting with arthropathy. As the first step, it is essential to know whether the origin of musculoskeletal symptom is articular or extra-articular; inflammatory or noninflammatory; acute or chronic; oligo- or poly-articular. This will help in narrowing down the differential diagnoses as well as in better correlation with the cutaneous symptoms. In this review, we discuss the skin and articular manifestations of common inflammatory and noninflammatory arthropathies including rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthropathies, connective tissue disorders, vasculitis, crystal arthropathies, infective arthritis, arthritis associated with degenerative, endocrine and metabolic conditions, etc. We have also added a section on the common cutaneous features associated with the treatment of rheumatologic diseases. A basic understanding of the joint pathologies and associated skin changes will help a long way in the better management of these conditions.

“…It can present with a positive pseudo-Nikolsky sign because of the skin detachment consequence of the coalescence of pustules, as in our patient. Although treatment of AGEP and SJS/TEN remains a controvert topic, prompt drug withdrawal and supportive care are the cornerstones of therapy 5, 6. In some patients, clinical distinction can be challenging.…”

Background: Psoriasis has been reported to be associated with alcohol consumption. Objective: To investigate the level of alcohol intake in individuals with psoriasis and correlate intake with the extent of disease and pruritus. Methods: Twenty-nine outpatients (15 females and 14 males) with stable chronic plaque psoriasis of moderate severity were recruited. The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) and the degree of pruritus (visual analogue scale) were compared with measures of drinking habits as determined by the Lifetime Drinking History (LDH), the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test and whole-blood phosphatidylethanol (PEth), an alcohol-specific biomarker. Results: The majority of patients were social drinkers with moderate alcohol consumption as determined by PEth and LDH. Alcohol consumption correlated significantly with the PASI score. There was no correlation between alcohol use and pruritus. Conclusion: The level of alcohol consumption is correlated with the extent of psoriasis.
