This disease is usually self-limiting and can subside within weeks or months, but it may also have a chronic progression with a trend towards long-term recurrence. The patient is an 80-year-old male who visited the clinic due to recurring erythema and blisters all over his body that had been present for over 2 years. Based on the patient’s course, laboratory tests and histopathological findings were consistent with the diagnosis. The final diagnosis was transient acantholytic dermatosis. The patient has a long course of the disease, a wide range of skin lesions and he has the different subtypes of pathological manifestations. This case and corresponding literature review help us have a clear understanding of Grover’s disease, which has received reference value for the diagnosis and treatment of this disease in clinical work.展开更多

Objective: To compare the efficacy of two intimate cleansers as adjuvants in the treatment of the two common vulvar dermatoses: Lichen sclerosus (LS) and lichen simplex chronicus (LSC). Method: 32 patients with the diagnosis of LS or LSC initially treated with Mometasone furoate 0.1% cream were then randomly assigned to receive either cleanser A (cleaner based on amigdalus dulcis, malva, jojoba oil, PCL solid, Hyaluronic acid) or cleanser B (cleaner based on Cocoyl Wtheat Amino Acids, Maltodextrins, Aveena sativa, Caprylic Glycol) twice a day in association with lanolin cream one application daily for 30 days, following which the lanolin cream was applied only when needed as a rescue treatment. The amount of the rescue cream used, rubbing, applicability and pleasantness of the product were classified before and after 60 days of treatment. Results: The differences between the two treatments for rubbing, applicability and pleasantness of the product were statistically non-significant, while “as needed” use of the emollient lanolin cream was significantly superior in a total number of doses in the B group versus the A group (8.25 vs 5.28 (P < 0.001). Conclusion: The parameters showed a high score for both the cleansers, demonstrating the acceptability of these products by the women. The best results of the cleaner A can be attributed to not only to the pool of moisturizing and emollient active ingredients but that of the soothing effects as well. This shows that the role of intimate cleanser is not only for vulval cleansing, but can also play a therapeutic role of moisturization and emollience.展开更多

All over the world, especially in developed countries. They handicap the professional activities of the workers. Purpose: To determine the epidemiological profile of dermatosis among automobile repair and maintenance garages in Parakou. Methods: It was a cross-sectional and descriptive study carried out from 20 April to 17 May 2020. The sampling method was non-probabilistic. Data collected from a questionnaire, clinical examination and worksite observation were analyzed with Epi Info 7.2.2.1 software. Results: The participation rate was 98.08%. The sex ratio (male/female) was 178. The mean age of the respondents was 25.80 ± 10.22 years. Respondents with less than 5 years of experience in the field were 61.22%. Mechanics were the most numerous. In the sample, 95.81% had frequent skin contact with fuels, 84.08% had contact with motor oils and 15.92% had contact with dilute battery electrolyte solutions. The frequency of dermatosis was 73.46%. Hands and wrists were the most affected seats (47.35%). Some (33.84%) wore them before the start of the activity in the garage but in 66.22% of them, the dermatosis had occurred because of their arrival in the garage. Among these skin diseases, keratoderma predominated at 80.01%. Conclusion: Dermatosis is very common among garage owners in Parakou.展开更多
