Lichen planus pigmentosus: two atypical presentation
Lichen planus pigmentosus (LPP) is a chronic pigmentary disorder with variable pattern of presentation. We here by present two cases of LPP one with parallel band like pigmentation over abdomen sparing the abdominal skin creases and other with parallel band like pattern following the Blaschko’s lines over left side of the abdomen. Our cases are unique not only for its presentation but also for the pattern of distribution and LPP should be the differential diagnosis in any pigmentary disorders
Waardenburg syndrome: A report of three cases
Waardenburg syndrome (WS) is a rare autosomally inherited and
genetically heterogeneous disorder of neural crest cell development
with distinct cutaneous manifestations. Based on the clinical
presentations, four subtypes of the disease are recognized. A careful
clinical evaluation is required to differentiate various types of WS
and other associated auditory-pigmentary syndromes. We describe a case
series of WS to highlight the wide spectrum of manifestations of the
syndrome including a rare association
Acquired multifocal tufted angiomas in an immunocompetent young adult
Tufted angioma (TA) is a rare benign vascular neoplasm, localized to the skin and subcutaneous tissues, occurring primarily on the trunk and extremities of children. The lesions are usually asymptomatic but, rarely, paroxysmal painful episodes may be associated. The occurrence of eruptive TA is still rarer and had been described almost exclusively in association with immunocompromised states. We report here a case of acquired painful multifocal tufted angiomas on the face and neck in an immunocompetent young adult

A curious case of blue-green discoloration in a middle-aged indian man: Chromhidrosis
Introduction: Chromhidrosis is a rare sweat gland disorder characterized by the excretion of colored sweat. It can be classified as apocrine, true eccrine, and pseudochromhidrosis. Amongst the different types of chromhidrosis, green chromhidrosis is extremely rare. We describe herein a case of blue green chromhidrosis induced by ingestion of homeopathic medicine.
Case report: A middle aged man presented to us with blue green discoloration of hands and feet. There was a preceding history of ingestion of homeopathic medication. Histopathology from the involved skin showed greenish particles within eccrine glands. Initial blood copper level was high which returned to normal level after discontinuation of the homeopathic medicine. Spectrophotometry revealed high copper content of the green sweat.Conclusion: Our case emphasizes the importance of considering any type of ingested medicine, including homeopathic medicine, as a probable cause of chromhidrosis
