This article serves as a primer for dermatology nurses and others practicing dermatology, to define and summarize the most commonly used primary and secondary terms to describe skin lesions in dermatology. The importance of a standardized approach to describing examination findings is discussed. Photos of primary and secondary lesions as well as examples of each are presented.

Pilonidal disease typically affects the skin and subcutaneous tissue of the upper intergluteal cleft. Prompt recognition of this diagnosis is imperative to facilitate timely treatment of this disease to reduce morbidity and improve health outcomes for patients. Herein, we describe a case of a young patient with pilonidal disease and discuss the optimal management practice for this condition.

ABSTRACT: Separate case reports have described linear Immunoglobulin A (IgA) bullous dermatosis with histology mimicking oral lichen planus and ocular involvement with resultant blindness. Here, we describe a patient with known ocular cicatrizing disease but was unaware of an evolving rash of the oral mucosa. Subsequent biopsies were procured to investigate whether linear IgA dermatosis exhibited lichenoid changes mimicking lichen planus or if the patient had concomitant linear IgA dermatosis and lichen planus. Conclusively, both entities may cause scarring, and for the purpose of avoiding diagnostic confusion, we have categorically appropriated both under mucous membrane pemphigoid.

Introduction Classic treatment options for patients with alopecia areata (AA) include intralesional and topical steroids as well as oral immunotherapy. Although these options can be effective for some patients, topical therapies are often inconvenient, and there can be many side effects with oral medications. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous preparation of concentrated platelets that is an emerging therapy for various conditions such as chronic nonhealing wounds, muscle injuries, and, more recently, hair loss. Case Presentation A 71-year-old woman with diffuse hair loss diagnosed previously as AA presented to our clinic after nonresponse to topical steroids and adverse events with topical minoxidil use. At our clinic, the patient underwent three treatments with PRP injections. Total hair regrowth without relapse was noted 6 months after treatment cessation. Discussion/Conclusion Our case illustrates a situation in which PRP served as an effective, rapid, and safe treatment option in a patient with AA who was unresponsive to previous standard therapies and feared side effects of oral medications.
