Urticaria Pigmentosa
Urticaria pigmentosa (also known as generalized eruption of cutaneous mastocytosis (childhood type)James, William; Berger, Timothy; Elston, Dirk (2005). ''Andrews' Diseases of the Skin: Clinical Dermatology''. (10th ed.). Saunders. . ) is the most common form of cutaneous mastocytosis. It is a rare disease caused by excessive numbers of mast cells in the skin that produce hives or lesions on the skin when irritated. Signs and symptoms Urticaria pigmentosa is characterized by excessive amounts of mast cells in the skin. Red or brown spots are often seen on the skin, typically around the chest, forehead, and back. These mast cells, when irritated (e.g. by rubbing the skin, heat exposure), produce too much histamine, triggering an allergic reaction that leads to hives localized to the area of irritation, sometimes referred to as Darier's sign. Severe itching usually follows, and scratching the area only serves to further symptoms. Symptoms can be mild (flushing and hives that ...

Eczema
Dermatitis is a term used for different types of skin inflammation, typically characterized by itchiness, redness and a rash. In cases of short duration, there may be small blisters, while in long-term cases the skin may become thickened. The area of skin involved can vary from small to covering the entire body. Dermatitis is also called eczema but the same term is often used for the most common type of skin inflammation, atopic dermatitis. The exact cause of the condition is often unclear. Cases may involve a combination of allergy and poor venous return. The type of dermatitis is generally determined by the person's history and the location of the rash. For example, irritant dermatitis often occurs on the hands of those who frequently get them wet. Allergic contact dermatitis occurs upon exposure to an allergen, causing a hypersensitivity reaction in the skin. Prevention of atopic dermatitis is typically with essential fatty acids, and may be treated with moisturi ...

Iodoform
Iodoform (also known as triiodomethane) is the organoiodine compound with the chemical formula . It is a pale yellow, crystalline, volatile substance, with a penetrating and distinctive odor (in older chemistry texts, the smell is sometimes referred to as that of hospitals, where the compound is still commonly used) and, analogous to chloroform, sweetish taste. It is occasionally used as a disinfectant. Naming The name iodoform originates with the "formyle radical," an archaic term for the HC moiety, and is retained for historical consistency. A full, modern name is triiodomethane. Another possible name is "carbon hydride triiodide". The "hydride" in the latter is sometimes omitted, though the IUPAC recommends against doing so, as "carbon triiodide" could also mean (hexaiodoethane, a highly unstable compound). Structure The molecule adopts a tetrahedral molecular geometry, tetrahedral geometry with C3v symmetry group, symmetry. Synthesis and reactions The synthesis of iodofo ...

Acrodermatitis Chronica Atrophicans
Acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans (ACA) is a skin rash indicative of the third or late stage of European Lyme disease, Lyme borreliosis. ACA is a dermatology, dermatological condition that takes a chronically progressive course and finally leads to a widespread atrophy of the skin. Involvement of the peripheral nervous system is often observed, specifically polyneuropathy. This progressive skin process is due to the effect of continuing active infection with the spirochete ''Borrelia afzelii'', which is the predominant pathophysiology. ''B. afzelii'' may not be the exclusive etiology, etiologic agent of ACA; ''Borrelia garinii'' has also been detected. Presentation The rash caused by ACA is most evident on the extremities. It begins with an inflammation, inflammatory stage with bluish red discoloration and cutaneous Swelling (medical), swelling, and concludes several months or years later with an atrophic phase.
