Annular lesions predominantly located around a scar
A 74-year-old woman with a history of hypertension, stroke, and arthrosis presented with skin lesions around a scar on her right knee that appeared a few months after a prosthesis was implanted. The physical examination revealed annular lesions between 5 and 15 mm, with erythematous borders and skin-colored or hypopigmented central areas. They were located around the scar (Fig 1), but there were similar isolated lesions in both axillae (Fig 2) and the left groin. The fungal culture and patch tests were negative.

Serious Complications from Staphylococcal aureus in Atopic Dermatitis
We report two unusual cases of systemic illness in individuals with AD. One developed infective endocarditis followed by a stroke and the other developed septic arthritis and osteomyelitis. We performed an extensive literature review of reported systemic complications caused by S. aureus in patients with AD. Although reports are rare, practitioners should be aware of these important, albeit unlikely, complications of staphylococcal superinfections in individuals with AD.

Tildrakizumab (MK‐3222), an anti‐interleukin‐23p19 monoclonal antibody, improves psoriasis in a phase IIb randomized placebo‐controlled trial
ConclusionsTildrakizumab had treatment effects that were superior to placebo, maintained for 52 weeks of treatment, and persisted for 20 weeks after cessation. Tildrakizumab was generally safe and well tolerated. These results suggest that IL‐23p19 is a key target for suppressing psoriasis.

Bullous pemphigoid: What's ahead?
Abstract Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune subepidermal blistering skin disease mainly affecting older individuals. Pathogenic autoantibodies preferentially target the non‐collagenous 16A domain of collagen XVII (also called BP antigen 2, BPAG2) present in hemidesmosomes. The pathogenic anti‐BPAG2 antibodies cause the dermal–epidermal separation in neonatal and adult mice as well as in cryosections of human skin. These experimental BP models stress a pivotal role for neutrophils and the Fcγ receptor of immunoglobulins. Mice that have been genetically manipulated in the pathogenic domain of BPAG2 spontaneously...

Biomarker value and pitfalls of serum S100B in the follow‐up of high‐risk melanoma patients
ConclusionsSerum S100B is a useful quantitative biomarker in routine follow‐up of high‐risk melanoma patients. While false‐negative results are frequent in patients with low tumor load, false‐positive results are associated with several comorbid diseases and warrant careful reevaluation.

Relationship between androgenetic alopecia and cardiovascular risk factors according to BASP classification in Koreans
This study investigated the relationship between Korean AGA and various cardiovascular risk factors, considering life habits, type of hair loss and sex. We investigated subjects who visited a hospital for public or industrial health medical examinations between October 2012 and December 2014. A questionnaire as well as anthropometric measurements and a blood test were performed. Among the 1884 total subjects, 52.6% had AGA. AGA patients displayed a significantly higher prevalence rate of cardiovascular diseases, smoking rate, fasting glucose and triglyceride, and a significantly lower high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol...

Early-onset stroke, polyarteritis nodosa (PAN), and livedo racemosa
A previously reported1 25-year-old Caucasian woman was seen in the Dermatology Consult Clinic at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center for livedo racemosa. She was born full term without complications to nonconsanguineous Caucasian parents. At 5 months of age the patient sustained right lacunar thalamic and parietal cerebrovascular accidents (CVA). At that time, she had an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein and was noted to have reticulate erythematous patches on her extremities.
