Abstract Darier disease (DD) and acrokeratosis verruciformis of Hopf are rare autosomal dominant skin disorders. Both are caused by a single gene mutation, i.e., ATP2A2 located on chromosome 12, which is expressed in the skin and brain. However, both the diseases are clinically and histopathologically distinct. DD is associated with many neuropsychiatric conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder (BPD), and seizures. Lithium is commonly used as a mood stabilizer in psychiatry and is reported to aggravate DD. We report a case of a 17-year-old female with DD and acrokeratosis verruciformis with associated with BPD Type 1 presenting with an aggravation of skin lesions after starting lithium therapy.

A 10-year-old boy presented with a history of rashes on his palms and soles for 1 year. He had difficulty in walking, climbing stairs, and worsening of skin lesions for 2 months. On examination, he had hyperkeratotic, scaly lesions with fissures on his hands and feet suggestive of mechanic’s hands [Figure 1a] and hiker’s feet [Figure 1b]. Fingernails appeared dystrophic with pitting [Figure 2a]. Musculoskeletal examination showed severe proximal muscle weakness with a positive Gower’s sign. His investigations revealed Hemoglobin (Hb) – 13.4 g/dl (12–15), white blood cell count – 13,300/cumm (4000–11,000), neutrophil – 61% (45–70), lymphocyte – 28% (20–40), platelets – 3.65/cumm (1.5 to 4.5), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) – 42 mm/h (4-–12), C-reactive protein (CRP) – 2 mg/L (<5), aspartate transaminase (AST) – 435 U/L (8-48), alanine transaminase (ALT) – 1753(7-55), creatine phosphokinase (CPK) – 5336 IU/L (20-200), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) – 1536 U/L (110-295); renal functions were normal. Antinuclear antibody (ANA) was positive by indirect immunofluorescence method 1:320, 3 +. Antibody screen for myositis profile revealed strong positivity for PM-Scl antibodies. Magnetic resonance imaging of the thighs revealed altered signal intensity within muscles suggestive of inflammatory myositis and high-resolution computed tomography of the chest revealed fibrosis in the anterior segment of the right middle lobe and posterior basal segment of the right lower lobe. He was diagnosed with dermatomyositis overlap syndrome and commenced on steroids, monthly intravenous (IV) cyclophosphamide, weekly subcutaneous methotrexate, and sunscreen. With treatment, there was improvement in muscle strength, complete resolution of skin changes; with nails initially showing demarcation of area of normal growth from the dystrophic part [Figure 2b] and later completely normal nails [Figure 2c].Figure 1: (a) Mechanic’s hands, (b) Hiker’s feetFigure 2: (a) dystrophic nails with pitting, (b) post treatment resolution of skin changes and nails showing demarcation between area of normal growth and dystrophic part, (c) complete resolution of skin and nail changesThe term mechanic’s hands is used to describe hyperkeratotic lesions that maybe present in the hands and fingers of patients with inflammatory myositis.[1] Equivalent lesions present in the feet were later termed hiker’s feet.[2] These findings are mostly associated with the presence of anti-Jo-1 synthetase antibody and rarely in dermatomyositis overlap syndromes.[3] The disease course tends to be chronic and may require the administration of high-dose steroids, followed by a taper, disease-modifying agents, and/or rituximab.

Accessory Tragus also known as preauricular ear tag, supernumerary pinna, and rudimentary ear, is a congenital developmental anomaly due to a minor aberration in the first branchial arch leading to external ear malformation.[1] It has been associated with syndromes such as Goldenhar syndrome, Treacher-Collins syndrome, VACTERL syndrome, Townes-Brocks syndrome, and Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome.[2] An 18-month-old female child presented with three skin-colored asymptomatic, firm, pedunculated lesions over the left side of the face, two near the left ear, in the pre-auricular area and one, a few centimeters away from the angle of the mouth [Figure 1]. A pigmented growth was seen over the lateral aspect of the epibulbar region, suggestive of an epibulbar dermoid [Figure 2]. There was also mild left-sided malar hypoplasia confined to the midportion alone [Figure 3]. There were no vertebral [Figure 4] or facial nerve abnormalities. A probable diagnosis of Goldenhar syndrome was made based on the clinical features mentioned above.Figure 1: Clinical image of accessory tragi over the left side of the faceFigure 2: Epibulbar dermoidFigure 3: Left-sided malar hypoplasiaFigure 4: Clinical image of the back showing no abnormalitiesGoldenhar syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder in which accessory tragus is a constant finding. It was initially described by Goldenhar as a triad of epibulbar dermoids, preauricular appendages, and pretragal fistulae and was later expanded to include vertebral anomalies, imparting the term, “Oculoauriculovertebral dysplasia.” This syndrome is also associated with microtia, microphthalmia, anophthalmia, facial asymmetry, mandibular hypoplasia along with renal, cardiac, gastrointestinal, hearing, and speech abnormalities.[3] There have been no fixed diagnostic criteria or age of presentation of the various clinical features of this syndrome thus calling for mandatory lifelong follow-up and a multidisciplinary approach. This case has been reported to highlight the importance of identifying the syndromic associations of a child with accessory tragi.

Neonatal acne, also referred to as “baby acne,” is a common dermatological condition characterized by the presence of small red papules or pustules on the face in the first 3 months of life.[1] While the condition is generally benign, it can lead to heightened anxiety among parents and caregivers. Google Trends offers an opportunity to explore public interest in neonatal acne, as it provides insights into search frequency, seasonality, and geographic distribution of queries. By leveraging this data, health-care professionals can gain a better understanding of the public’s information-seeking behavior and tailor educational resources to meet the needs of concerned parents effectively. Using Google Trends, we gathered the United States search data to examine the search volumes for the term “baby acne” spanning from January 2004 to December 2022 [Figure 1]. Google Trends provides data on search volumes, presented as a relative percentage ranging from 0 to 100, which is based on the total number of searches within a specific geographic area and time frame. In addition, Google Trends enabled us to pinpoint the states with the highest relative search volumes (RSVs) throughout the 2004–2022 period.Figure 1: Google Trends relative search volume for “baby acne” between 2004 and 2022, in the United StatesThe data show a consistent upward trend in searches for “baby acne” from 2004 to 2022. Notably, since 2011, there has been a cyclic pattern with search volumes peaking during late spring and summer months. The highest number of searches occurred in July (7 out of 19 years), followed by June (6 out of 19), May (4 out of 19 years), and April (3 out of 19 years). The top five states with the highest RSVs for “baby acne” include North Dakota, South Dakota, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Nebraska. The rise in online searches for the term baby acne reflects the growing popularity of online parenting communities. Reports analyzing parent behaviors on the internet showed that over 70% of parents have turned to search engines to find medical information for their children.[2] Facial eruptions can be divided into non-infectious and infectious etiologies, with at least 18 other diagnoses in the differentials.[1] While some causes are self-limiting, others such as pustular psoriasis require early diagnosis and treatment to prevent life-threatening complications. Thus, it is important for dermatologists and pediatricians to provide proper education to parents and avoid delay in treatment. The temporal and regional patterns observed may indicate that environmental factors play a role in neonatal acne exacerbation. While neonatal acne is thought to be caused by hormonal changes following birth, environmental factors such as heat and moisture may also play a role.[3] Exposure to high levels of humidity contributes to increase sweating, which can clog the enlarged neonate pores and trap bacteria on the skin surface, further promoting the development of neonatal acne.[1] Inter
