ABSTRACT: Angiokeratomas are relatively rare vascular lesions characterized by ectasias of the papillary dermal blood vessels with secondary epidermal changes in the form of acanthosis and/or hyperkeratosis. Amongst the several variants of angiokeratomas, angiokeratoma circumscriptum is the least common one. Angiokeratoma circumscriptum naeviforme (ACN) is a still rarer type of angiokeratoma, which is typically seen at birth. We report here a case of linear, unilateral, verrucous plaques on the leg of a young man, diagnosed as ACN.

ABSTRACT: Contact with a jellyfish can cause a wide variety of conditions, ranging from cutaneous eruption to fatal cardiovascular and respiratory collapse. Cutaneous features can be both acute and chronic. We report a case of persistent lichen planus-like eruption in a young boy after a jellyfish sting, a hitherto unreported occurrence.
A 15-year-old boy presented with multiple lichen planus-like violaceous papules over the lower part of his left thigh on the anterior aspect and also over the patellar region. He had a history of a jellyfish sting over his lower limbs incurred while bathing in the sea four weeks prior to presentation. Histopathology revealed a predominantly perivascular mononuclear cell infiltrate immediately beneath the dermoepidermal junction underneath the hyperplastic epidermis. The lesions significantly subsided with topical corticosteroid application.
This case report demonstrates a new variant of chronic cutaneous change following a jellyfish sting. We report it because of its uniqueness and we believe that physicians should be aware of the possibility of an aquatic animal-induced disease when dealing with lesions with lichen planus-like morphology.

ABSTRACT: Among 56 recalcitrant cases of chronic idiopathic urticaria 28 subjects (Group A) selected at random, were, treated with doxepin 10 mg thrice daily and the rest ( Group B ) with pheniramine maleate 22.5mgthrice daily.B 3 weeks of therapy group.A and group B respectively showed complete remission in 28.6% and 10.7% cases, partial remission in 64.3% and 39.3% cases and no improvement in 7.1% and 50% cases. The difference in clinical improvement between the two groups was statistii significant (p0.001). One week after stopping the treatment among totally syrnptom - free patients, 37.5% in group A and 100% in-group B developed recurrence. Drowsiness was more common in-group B (60.7%) than in group A (35.7%) whereas dryness of the mouth was more frequent in group A (64.3%) than in group B (46.4%).
