ULERYTHEMA OPHRYOGENESIS

Description

Ulerythema ophryogenesis is characterised by inflammatory keratotic papules occurring on the face, which may be followed by scars, atrophy and alopecia. Prevalence is unknown but the disease, affecting mainly children and young adults, is rare. Erythema with mild hyperkeratosis of the hair follicles resulting in rough papules is observed on the cheeks and lateral aspects of the eyebrows. The disorder occasionally extends to the adjacent scalp, ears and forehead and rarely to the extensor surfaces of the limbs. Symptoms regress with age, although loss of the lateral aspects of the eyebrows can occur. Many cases occur sporadically; autosomal dominant inheritance has also been reported. There is no particular treatment, but patients should avoid sun exposure without UV protection.

Most common symptoms of ULERYTHEMA OPHRYOGENESIS

  • Skeletal muscle atrophy
  • Pectus excavatum
  • Alopecia
  • Arthritis
  • Erythema

KERATOSIS FOLLICULARIS SPINULOSA DECALVANS

Alternate names

KERATOSIS FOLLICULARIS SPINULOSA DECALVANS Is also known as keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans cum ophiasi

Description

Keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans is a rare genodermatosis occurring during infancy or childhood, predominantly affecting males, and characterized by diffuse follicular hyperkeratosis associated with progressive cicatricial alopecia of the scalp, eyebrows and eyelashes. Additional findings can include photophobia, corneal dystrophy, facial erythema, and/or palmoplantar keratoderma.

Most common symptoms of KERATOSIS FOLLICULARIS SPINULOSA DECALVANS

  • Myopia
  • Alopecia
  • Hyperkeratosis
  • Photophobia
  • Scarring

ATROPHODERMA VERMICULATA

Alternate names

ATROPHODERMA VERMICULATA Is also known as atrophodermia reticulata symmetrica faciei, folliculitis ulerythematosa reticulate, honeycomb atrophy, folliculitis ulerythematosa reticulata, atrophodermia vermiculata

Description

Atrophoderma vermiculata, a form of keratosis pilaris atrophicans, typically presents in childhood with erythema and follicular keratotic papules that slowly progress to characteristic atrophy, which has been described as worm-eaten, reticular, or honeycomb, and occurs on the cheeks, preauricular area, and forehead. More rarely, the atrophy may extend to the upper lip, helices, ear lobes, and, in some cases, the limbs. The degree of inflammation, the presence of milia, and the extent of follicular plugs are variable (summary by Luria and Conologue, 2009).

Most common symptoms of ATROPHODERMA VERMICULATA

  • Edema
  • Dilatation
  • Alopecia
  • Hyperkeratosis
  • Erythema
