A 18-year-old young man was admitted because of a rash on the genital area. The patient stated he was in good general health. He declared that the rash had appeared approximately 1 months before. The rash was diagnosed as allergic contact dermatitis and unsuccessfully treated with oral antihistamines.

When it comes to laser hair removal in ethnic skin, there’s a very narrow spectrum of treatment options and it has always been challenging due to the the higher competing epidermal melanocyte.The Aesthetic industry has been constantly trying to develop an ideal platform to treat all skin types(Fitzpatrick 1-6),however we are yet to find that ideal laser that would treat a a skin type 1 and 6 with same efficiency,also irrespective of thick or thin hair.

Hansen’s disease is seldom associated with trophic ulcers, which over a period of time when neglected has the potential for malignant transformation. This is a case report of a 44 year old man previously treated for Hansen’s disease presenting with non-healing plantar ulcer developing squamous cell carcinoma with lymph node metastasis. We highlight the importance of having a high degree of suspicion in each case as our patient was asymptomatic and repeated biopsies and lymph node FNAC were required to diagnosis.

Background:Atopic dermatitis AD is a common chronic inflammatory skin disorder that induces several symptoms including pruritus and dryness, and is often associated with secondary cutaneous infections. AD is considered to be one of the most prevalent and studied skin diseases yet poorly understood, and its pathophysiology remains obscure. Even though other skin diseases such as psoriasis share the same pathologic factor skin barrier defect with atopic dermatitis, patients diagnosed with those diseases dont suffer infectious exacerbations like atopic patients do. Aim: Although many international researches have already discussed the relationship between staphylococcus aureus and AD, no studies about this subject in the Arabic region was documented. The aim of our study is to compare staphylococcus aureus colonization rates and densities between atopic dermatitis patients and non-atopic subjects, and to relate the colonization to the severity and duration of the disease. Materials and methods: This observational analytic study included 200 participants 99 diagnosed with atopic dermatitis and 101 control subjects without atopic dermatitis nasal and skin swabs lesional and non-lesional were collected from patients, while nasal and only normal skin swabs were collected from controls. Positive swabs were assessed to determine the density of colonization. Results: 57.6% of patients had nasal colonization, 56.6% had lesional colonization and 30.3% had normal skin colonization. Nasal colonization rates and densities were higher in the patients group. We detected a correlation between colonization and severity of eczema, but no correlation between colonization and duration of the disease was detected. Conclusion: The high rates and densities of staphylococcus aureus colonization in lesional skin of atopic dermatitis patients point out the role of these organisms in the pathophysiology of the disease, put antibiotics on the treatment list of atopic dermatitis and explain infectious features in AD exacerbations.

The face powder was demanded by many nations in the world in the beginning AD and in Asia white skin was believed to be the sign of aristocratism, membership of the elite, and yet, white color is the pure symbol of the internal beauty and nobility. In addition, some face powders are sold in varying specialty shades to suit different skin needs; for example, a face powder with a greenish tinge will minimize the appearance of redness, while a purple-tinted powder may help the appearance of sallow or yellow skin. There is a legitimate reason to use face powder, and the pharmacopeias prescribe them in the treatment of many skin affections. At all events the proper use of powder is beneficial, it lightly covers and unifies a complexion, hiding the ravages of time, improving even the beautiful face. Face powder comes in different shades to match varying skin tones, and it is a good idea to choose the skin tone that most closely matches the natural skin. This will help the makeup appear more natural; it should be virtually unnoticeable. It may be necessary to use different face powders for summer and winter, as the skin may become tanner in the summer, or drier and in need of extra moisture in the winter. They are of benefit in acne, freckles, sunburn and red nose. Beneath their attractive aspect and odor, face powders should be made by the perfumer to combine the qualities of an elegant cosmetic and therapeutic agent; they must primarily possess adherence, lightness and be transparent; secondly, they should be detergent and delicately absorbent in order to aid the natural functions of the skin, taking up the fatty matters not easily dislodged by water; they should also tend to increase the natural elasticity and regular functions of the skin.
