Fungal Viability of Nail Dust from Onychomycosis Abrasion: A Pilot Study
Conclusion: The absence of dermatophyte isolation in all fungal cultures may demonstrate that the deformed fungal structures shown are not viable and would not present risks of contamination after nail abrasion.Skin Appendage Disord (Source: Skin Appendage Disorders)

More than Nail Deep: The Effect of Efinaconazole 10% Treatment on the Quality of Life in Patients with Onychomycosis: A post hoc Study
Discussion: Female and younger patients appear to be more emotionally bothered by their symptoms, regardless of treatment success or improvement of their nail ’s appearance, suggesting that onychomycosis is more than nail deep and has a greater psychological effect on these patients. Therefore, younger female patients may require more assurance and mental support.Skin Appendage Disord (Source: Skin Appendage Disorders)

A Paradigm Shift in the Treatment and Management of Onychomycosis
There is an increase in the incidence of onychomycosis, especially in at-risk populations. Onychomycosis is difficult to treat, as the efficacy of most antifungal agents is relatively low. Nondermatophyte molds (NDMs) and mixed infection (dermatophyte plus NDM) onychomycosis are contributing to growing antifungal resistance, as they are often underestimated and ignored due to incorrect diagnosis. There is a need for a paradigm shift in the management of onychomycosis to a patient-centered, holistic approach with an emphasis on laboratory diagnosis prior to initiating treatment, which enables the rational choice of the anti...

Tinea Capitis Presenting as Diffuse Hair Loss and Significance of Trichoscopy: Four Case Reports
Tinea capitis is a common fungal infection in children but is less frequently encountered in adults. Tinea capitis presenting as diffuse hair loss is a rare presentation. When patient presents with a diffuse hair loss, tinea capitis is not commonly thought of as differential diagnosis. Low clinical suspicion can lead to inappropriate empiric treatments that delay diagnosis. Trichoscopy in tinea capitis obviates the need for lengthy and invasive procedure or even KOH examinations in the absence of a side lab for diagnosing this common scalp disorder and also avoids misdiagnosis. Trichoscopy not only differentiates tinea cap...

Breast Cancer-Related Neoplastic Alopecia: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Neoplastic alopecia (NA) is defined as an organized hair loss in single or multiple areas of the scalp caused by a primary tumor that has metastasized to the skin of the scalp. Due to its localization and clinical appearance, NA should be placed in differential diagnosis with alopecia areata or other entities. To date, pathognomonic dermoscopic criteria of NA have not yet been described: the absence of classical criteria of other scalp diseases in addition to a major neovascularization with on-focus arborizing vessels and erosions or ulcerations may help the clinician to suspect a diagnosis of secondary alopecia. Dermatolo...

Perianal Hyperhidrosis Successfully Treated with Botulinum Toxin A
Perianal hyperhidrosis (HH) is a rare form of primary focal HH and may become a major problem for the patient with a significant psychosocial burden and negative impact on the quality of life. Botulinum toxin injections are widely used as a second-line treatment option for axillary, palmar, and plantar HH with a good safety profile. Herein, we pre sent a case of primary perianal HH successfully treated with Botulinum toxin A at a dose higher than that previously reported in literature, with a longer response, a higher degree of satisfaction, and no adverse effects. Moreover, we review the main aspects of the perianal ana...

Dermoscopy of Eruptive Syringoma
We report here a case of ES, initially misdiagnosed as LP. The dermoscopic findings showed fine reticulate brown lines on a light brown background contrarily to the findings usually seen in LP. These findings prompt a skin biopsy which subsequently confirmed the diagnosis of ES. The use of dermoscopy in ES can be useful and may help differentiate it from other diseases.Skin Appendage Disord (Source: Skin Appendage Disorders)

Atypical Congenital Triangular Alopecia (Brauer Nevus): Case Report and Review of Literature in Occipital and Mid-Frontal Localizations
We present a review of literature of eighteen atypical locations, providing 4 new cases to the 9 previously published, with particular attention to trichoscopy and histopathological descriptions in this exceptional presentation forms.Discussion: Occipital and mid-frontal Brauer nevus are unusual findings with very few cases reported so far. Because of its rarity and atypical presentation, it can often lead to a misdiagnosis. A higher incidence in the male sex stands clear in these locations. Detection at birth is slightly more frequent than in the classical CTA. Histopathological and trichoscopy findings do not differ from...
