A 1-year-old girl presented with porcelain white fingernails, accidentally discovered when she was referred for an infantile hemangioma consultation.

Ruxolitinib, a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, has been used orally for over a decade in the treatment of myelofibrosis. The immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory properties of ruxolitinib have made it an attractive treatment option for several dermatologic conditions, such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, alopecia areata, and vitiligo. In October 2021, US Food and Drug Administration approved ruxolitinib as the first topical JAK inhibitor for treating atopic dermatitis.

Anogenital warts are the most common sexually transmitted infection causing economic and psychosocial issues. Efficacy of zinc has been proved in treating nongenital warts, but its role in treating anogenital warts is not clear. This study was conducted to assess whether oral zinc gluconate in combination with cryotherapy effectively treated anogenital warts. A randomized double-blind, split-side, placebo-controlled trial was conducted on 50 patients suffering from genital warts. The patients were treated for 2 months with a combination of four sessions of cryotherapy and oral zinc gluconate versus placebos...

Erosive pustular dermatosis (EPD) is a rare entity, but it is generally overlooked or missed, rather than rarely encountered. It presents with erosions and shallow ulcers, accompanied by delayed healing and associated with cutaneous atrophy, rather than pustules. It exhibits predominance for women, with a predilection for a chronically sun-damaged scalp and, less commonly, the extremities, particularly the legs, as well as the face and mucosal surfaces. The role of infection, actinic damage, trauma, hormones, autoimmune disease, cutaneous atrophy, and genetics in the pathogenesis of EPD has been described in literature...
