Pemphigus vulgaris is a rare autoimmune disease that causes painful Intraepidermal

blistering on the skin and mucous membranes. It is mediated by circulating autoantibodies
directed against keratinocyte cell surfaces ( Desmoglein ) . A potentially life-threatening
disease, it has a mortality rate of approximately 5-15%.
Hailey-Hailey disease , also called familial benign chronic pemphigus is a disease that causes
painful rash and blistering in skin folds, such as the armpits, groin, neck, under the breasts, and
between the buttocks.
Bullous pemphigoid is a more common disease than pemphigus that is less aggressive and,
generally, not considered life-threatening. Autoantibodies against hemidesmosomes are the
reason for the subepidermal blistering seen in pemphigoid

3.LINEAR IgA BULLOUS DERMATOSIS ( LABD ) :

Linear IgA bullous dermatosis is an autoimmune skin disorder in which IgA antibodies are
formed against basement membrane proteins such as the lamina lucida and sublamina densa &
can be found in a linear pattern just below the epidermis on skin biopsy.
Causes: It is mostly idiopathic & self-limiting in children. In Adults, it tends to occur with an
internal malignancy, infection, and other autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. Other
cases of LABD are drug-induced often due to Vancomycin.
Symptoms: Blisters are formed on the base of red or normal-appearing skin with mild itching to
a severe burning sensation. Blisters may appear as a "cluster of jewels” or "string of beads”.
Patient may also experience mucous membrane and ocular involvement including burning and
discharge from the eyes.
Treatment: Idiopathic cases of LABD have been successfully treated with dapsone,
mycophenolate mofetil, colchicine, intravenous immunoglobulin, and Dicloxacillin. A short
course of corticosteroids may also be given to decrease inflammation. Infected lesions may be
treated with topical mupirocin and sterile dressing changes twice daily. For drug-induced cases,
the treatment involves removing the offending drug from one’s drug regimen.

CONNECTIVE TISSUE DISORDERS :

1. REACTIVE PERFORATING COLLAGENOSIS
( RPC ) :
Reactive perforating collagenosis (RPC) is
commonly recognized as an unusual skin
reaction to superficial trauma resulting in
transepidermal elimination of altered collagen
through the epidermis. It is observed in patients
with a certain genetic predisposition or
underlying diseases, such as diabetes mellitus or
renal diseases.
 Lesions are self-healing, but usually Recurrent
 Management protocol includes Therapy with Retinoids, Allopurinol, Doxycycline, and

Phototherapy.
 Topical Steroids :
Provate , Valisone Ointment ( Betamethasone ) + WPJ
BD for 20 days on body
Avate Ointment ( Methylprednisolone )
BD For 10 days on face
 Topical Anti-Histamine :
Tab Avil ( pheniramine) or Tab Piriton ( Chlorpheniramine )
Half BD for 10 days
OD for 10 days

2.SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHMATOSUS ( SLE ) :

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic auto-immune
disease that causes inflammation in connective tissues, such as
cartilage and the lining of blood vessels. The signs and symptoms of
SLE vary among affected individuals, and can involve many organs
and systems, including the skin, joints, kidneys, lungs, central
nervous system, and blood-forming (hematopoietic) system
P a g e | 119
3.LUPUS PROFUNDUS:
Lupus profundus is a chronic form of cutaneous lupus erythematosus characterized by the
presence of discoid skin plaques with varying degrees of swelling, redness, scaliness, and skin
atrophy. This co-occurs with panniculitis; the inflammation of the fat under the skin. It involves
the arms, face, buttocks, chest, and, less frequently, the abdomen, back, and neck
Treatment options include Intralesional and systemic steroids, antimalarials, mycophenolate

mofetil, dapsone, cyclosporine, and thalidomide.
4. PSEUDOXANTHOMA ELASTICUM ( PXE )

Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE), also known as Grönblad–Strandberg syndrome, is the name
given to a group of connective tissue disorders that causes mineralization and fragmentation of
elastic fibers in the skin, blood vessels, and the eyes
Symptoms: growth of yellowish bumps on the skin of the neck, Laxity and redundant
(excessive) skin folds under the arms, or in the groin area; reduced vision; periodic weakness in
the legs (claudication); or bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract, particularly the stomach.
Treatment: No specific or effective treatment is currently available

P a g e | 120
5.LIPOID PROTEINOSIS :
Lipoid proteinosis is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the deposition of an
amorphous hyaline material in the skin, mucosa, and viscera.
Symptoms include Dry scarred skin, peculiar eyelid papules, abnormality of gums, hoarse cry,
upper respiratory infections and neurological complications including seizures & intellectual
disability.
Treatment: Treatment is based on the signs and symptoms present in each person. The skin
abnormalities may be treated with certain medications, including corticosteriods, dimethyl
sulfoxide, Retinoids, d-penicillamine. Carbon dioxide laser surgery may play a role to cure
growths over vocal cord & eyelids. Anticonvulsant medications are prescribed to people
with seizures.

MUCOCUTANEOUS ULCERS
APHTHOUS ULCERS ;
Canker sores, also called Aphthous ulcers, are small, shallow round or oval
lesions with a white or yellow center and a red border that develop on or under the
tongue, inside the cheeks or lips, at the base of gums, or on soft palate , can also
occur on genital region. Unlike cold sores, canker sores don't occur on the surface
of your lips and they aren't contagious. They can be painful.
Causes : The cause of canker sores is not known, but most theories involve an
immune abnormality. Certain blood diseases, vitamin and mineral deficiencies,
allergies, trauma and Crohn's disease
cause similar ulcers.
Treatment : Most canker sores go

away on their own in a week or two.
Underlying factors should be treated.
Treatment includes use of topical
barriers, analgesics, anesthetics, anti-
inflammatory & mild to moderate
potency steroids.
P a g e | 122
2. PYODERMA GANGRENOSUM :
Pyoderma gangrenosum is a condition that causes tissue to become necrotic, causing deep
ulcers that usually occur on the legs. When they occur, they can lead to chronic wounds.
Ulcers usually initially look like small bug bites or papules, and they progress to larger
ulcers.
CAUSES : It's often associated with autoimmune diseases such as ulcerative colitis,
Crohn's disease and arthritis. And it may have a genetic component. If you have
pyoderma gangrenosum, new skin trauma, such as a cut or puncture wound, may trigger
new ulcers
TREATMENT :
Treatment of pyoderma
gangrenosum is aimed
at reducing
inflammation,
controlling pain,
promoting wound
healing and controlling
any underlying disease.
Give Steroids &
Immunosuppressant
including
Cyclosporin,Infliximab,
Canakinmab
P a g e | 123
3. BEHCET’S DISEASE:
Behcet's (beh-CHETS) disease, also called Behcet's syndrome, is a rare

Autoimmune disorder that causes blood vessel inflammation throughout
your body. The disease can lead to numerous signs and symptoms that may
seem unrelated at first. They may include mouth sores, eye inflammation,
skin rashes and lesions, and genital sores
TREATMENT : Immunosuppressive agents used in the treatment of

Behcet's include azathioprine, cyclosporine, cyclophosphamide, and TNF-
alpha inhibitors (infliximab, adaliumuab). With organ- or life-threatening
disease, the combination of prednisone and cyclophosphamide is the
preferred therapy.
P a g e | 124
4. Sweet’s Syndrome :
Sweet’s syndrome, also known as acute febrile neutrophilic
dermatosis, is a very rare inflammatory skin condition
characterized by a sudden onset of fever and painful rash on
the arms, legs, trunk, face, or neck.
Causes : It is triggered by an infection, illness or certain medications. Sweet's

syndrome can also occur with some types of cancer
Treatment : The most common treatment for Sweet's syndrome is corticosteroid

pills, such as prednisone. Signs and symptoms often disappear just a few days after
treatment begins, but recurrence is common
P a g e | 125
SWEAT GLAND DISORDERS:
1. Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS)

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a painful, long-term skin condition that
causes abscesses and scarring on the skin. The exact cause of hidradenitis

Moles are the pigmented growth on skin formed when melanocytes grow in a cluster instead of
being spread throughout the skin. Moles may darken after exposure to the sun, during the teen
years, and during pregnancy.
Treatment: Usually needs no Treatment. Treatment is indicated for cosmetic reasons only &
includes Laser therapy
Attention should be paid to the following of Melanoma :

P a g e | 128
MILIA:
Milia are small, bump-like cysts found under the skin. They are
usually 1 to 2 millimeters (mm) in size. They form when skin flakes
or keratin become trapped under the skin. Milia most often appear on
the face, commonly around the eyelids and cheeks, though they can
occur anywhere.
Treatment :
 Topical Retinoid including Adapco gel ( Adapalene )

 Curretage or Crytotherapy.
BECKER'S NEVUS ( Pigmented Hairy Birth Mark ) :

Becker's nevus is a cutaneous hamartoma characterized by an
overgrowth of the epidermis, pigment cells (melanocytes), and
hair follicles resulting in circumscribed hyperpigmentation with
hypertrichosis, may also develop acne.
It can be present at birth, but is usually first noticed around

puberty. It pre-dominantly affects males and typically occurs on
one shoulder and upper trunk but occasionally occurs elsewhere
on the body
Treatment ;
Treatment is indicated for cosmetic reasons only & includes Laser therapy
NEVUS SEBACEOUS ( Hair-Less Birth Mark ):

A nevus sebaceous is the congenital hair-less plaque that can be found
on the scalp ( most common ) , neck, forehead, or face.
Can turn to malignant after 4th decade
Treatment ;
They can be removed by surgical excision for cosmetic reasons, but

scarring is unavoidable and will be permanent after removal.
( No role of Steroids )
P a g e | 129
NEVUS DEPIGMENTOSUS ;
Nevus depigmentosus or nevus achromicus is a loss of pigment in
the skin which can be easily differentiated from vitiligo. It is an
uncommon birthmark (naevus) characterised by a well-
defined pale patch. Shape and size varies. Often,
smaller hypopigmented macules arise around the edges, resembling a
splash of paint.
Treatment ;
Most patients with nevus depigmentosus do not pursue treatment for their lesion. There is no
way to repigment the skin. If, however, the lesion is of cosmetic concern, camouflage makeup is
effective. If the lesion is small one could also consider excision & grafting .
HALO NEVUS :
A halo nevus is a mole surrounded by a white ring or halo.
These moles are almost always benign, meaning they aren't
cancerous. Halo nevi (the plural of nevus) are sometimes called
Sutton nevi or leukoderma acquisitum centrifugum. They're
fairly common in both children and young adults.
They usually regress within few years.
KERATOCANTHOMA:
Keratoacanthoma (KA) is a common low-grade rapidly-growing skin tumor that is
believed to originate from the hair follicle ( pilosebaceous unit ) and can
resemble squamous cell carcinoma. It is a dome-shaped lesion filled with keratinous
material that usually occurs on sun-exposed areas of the body, especially around the
head and neck.
Treatment : Curretage or Crytotherapy
 Surgical removal
P a g e | 130
HEMANGIOMA:
Hemangioma is a benign blood vessel tumor, commonly found in infants as strawberry like birth marks
on skin. Treatment :
 May take years to regress

 Propranolol
 Oral Steroid ( 1-2 mg / kg for 4 – 6 weeks )
KASSABACH-MERRITT SYNDROME ( KMS )

( Hemangioma with thrombocytopenia ) :
P a g e | 131
LYMPHANGIOMA CICRCUMSCRIPTUM:
Lymphangioma circumscriptum is a congenital benign 'microcytic' lymphatic
malformation which appears as a cluster of small firm blisters filled with
lymph fluid.
Treatment :
Surgical excision,cryotherapy, electrocoagulation and laser treatments for

this pathology have all been reported, but surgical excision remains the
mainstay of treatment.
NEUROFIBROMATOSIS :
Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder of the
nervous system which causes tumors to grow on
nerves & affects how nerve cells form and
grow. It has following main symptoms :
 Flat, light brown spots on the skin (cafe au lait

spots).
 Freckling in the armpits or groin area.
 Tiny bumps on the iris of the eye (Lisch
nodules).
 Soft, pea-sized bumps on or under the skin
(neurofibromas).
 Bone deformities.
 Tumor on the optic nerve (optic glioma).
 Learning disabilities.
Treatment :
There is no known treatment or cure for neurofibromatosis. In some cases, growths may be
removed surgically or reduced with radiation therapy.
P a g e | 132
BOWEN’S DISEASE :
Bowen’s disease, also known as squamous cell carcinoma in situ, is a pre-cancerous skin
condition affecting the epidermal layer of the skin.
Causes: Prolonged sun-exposure & aging are the two main factors. Others include
immunosuppression, a pre-existing HPV cutaneous infection & chronic exposure to arsenic.
Symptoms: Mostly affects the sun-exposed areas of the body but may also affect other regions
including head, neck, palms, soles, lower legs and genitals.
It appears as a slow-growing, persistent reddish-brown patches of dry, scaly skin which may
become warty, fissured, darkly pigmented & crusted. Other symptoms that may develop are
itching, oozing pus & bleeding.
Treatment:
A wide variety of treatment options exist for individuals with Bowen disease including topical
chemotherapy ( with 5-fluorouracil and imiquimod 5% ) , cryotherapy, curettage, photodynamic
therapy and surgery.
P a g e | 133
KLIPPEL TRENAUNAY SYNDROME ( KTS ) :

Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is a rare congenital condition that affects the development of
blood vessels, soft tissue and bones & is characterized by a triad of cutaneous capillary
malformation ("port-wine stain"), lymphatic anomalies, and varicose veins in association with
variable overgrowth of soft tissue and bone. It is caused by the somatic mutation in the
gene PIK3CA.
Treatment:
Capillary Malformation: It can be improved by laser therapy, sclerotherapy
or sometimes resection and closure of the skin or replacement with a split-
thickness skin graft.
PORT-WINE STAIN
Lymphatic Malformation: Macrocystic malformations can be deflated by sclerotherapy (injection
of irritating solutions), whereas, microcystic malformations may require resection.
Venous Malformation: Blood stagnates in large dilated veins, and thus there is a risk for
initiating a clotting disorder or thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.
Anticoagulation with heparin is often necessary prior to radiologic or surgical
intervention. Large venous channels can be obliterated by sclerotherapy or
endovascular laser. Chronic bleeding from the colon may require surgical
resection. Bleeding lesions in the bladder can be controlled by laser through a
cystoscope. An elastic compressive stocking is often useful to minimize
discomfort and swelling due to venous distension in the limb.
Overgrowth: Enlarged toes may require amputation to narrow the foot and
permit footwear. Discrepancy in leg length can be corrected by inserting a lift
in the shoe on the normal foot to prevent compensatory curvature of the spine
(scoliosis). Surgical closure of the growth plate at the knee (epiphysiodesis) is
often needed to equalize leg length.
