    Abstract: Background: Psoriasis affects nearly 1% of the world population. It can be a source of significant morbidity and psychological stress to the patient but is not lethal under ordinary circumstances. Patients suffering from the disease feel a lack of empathy on part of care-givers, family members, healthcare professionals as well as society in general. Dermatology life quality index (DLQI) is a questionnaire-based assessment of health related quality of life in patients suffering from skin disorders and has been seen to correlate well with the impact of the disease on a patient. This study was done to understand the impact of psoriasis on the overall well-being of patients using DLQI as the tool of assessment.Methods: The study included 40 cases of psoriasis that were assessed for the severity of the disease based on percentage body surface area involvement. The impact of disease severity and other factors on the quality of life of the patient was assessed using DLQI.Results: Out of 35 patients with BSA involvement 〈 50% (mild and moderate disease), 28.6% (n=10/35) showed a very large or extremely large effect on the quality of life while no patient with a BSA involvement 〉 50% (severe and very severe disease) reported the same. A small, moderate or no effect on the DLQI was seen in 71.4% (n=25/35) of cases from the mild and moderate disease group while 100% (n=5/5) of cases from severe and very severe disease group reported a similar effect. Thus, DLQI was not directly related to the extent of BSA involvement and was dependent on other factors as well.Conclusion: Age had a correlation with the effect of the disease on the quality of life of psoriasis cases. Patients who were younger were more likely to report stress and anxiety related to the recurrences seen with the disease. Patients with lesions on sites that are socially exposed like face, hands, scalp, etc. were more likely to feel embarrassed about their condition. Younger age, female gender, lesions on exposed sites and recently diagnosed patients ( 〈 12 months) were factors which had a significant impact on the health-related quality of life of patients. The severity of disease and extent of involvement were not always directly related to extent of impact on the quality of life.

    Abstract: Background: Treatment of chronic urticaria can be difficult at times. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of oral mini-pulse (OMP) therapy with methylprednisolone in management of severe chronic urticaria (CU). Methods and material: 100 patients with severe chronic urticaria, not controlled with maximum dose of a second generation antihistamine, were enrolled in the study after an informed written consent. All patients were treated with methylprednisolone 16 mg tablet on two consecutive days of a week for 2 months along with levocetirizine 5 mg tablet once daily. All patients were reviewed at 0, 2, 4, and 8 weeks with urticaria activity score (UAS). Results: The study comprised of 100 patients (33 males and 67 females) with severe chronic urticaria. 29 patients (29%) had raised TSH levels while Autologous Serum Skin Test was positive in 37 patients. Mean UAS in patients treated with OMP was 5.76 at baseline which reduced to 0.6 at the end of treatment period. Conclusion: Mean UAS showed a significant decline following OMP therapy with methylprednisolone. Most of the patients maintained the benefits of therapy at the end of follow up period of 4 months.

    Abstract: Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has seen an unprecedented lockdown with restrictions on human movement and interaction, imposed throughout the world to contain the spread of the disease. This gave us the unique opportunity to study the pattern of patients presenting to the dermatology out-patient department during this period.Methods: The study was a retrospective observational study involving the assessment of patient records from 25th March 2020 to 7th June 2020. This period corresponds to the duration of strictly imposed nationwide lockdown which was relaxed with phased resumption from 8th June 2020, termed as unlock 1.Results: A decrease in the absolute as well as proportional number of patients was seen in majority of the cases with a statistically significant proportional decline being seen in cases of allergic contact dermatitis (p-value =0.007), acne (p value 〈 0.001), male pattern hair loss (p value 〈 0.001) and female pattern hair loss (p value 〈 0.001), verrucae (p value=0.01), seborrheic dermatitis (p value 〈 0.001), ephelids (p value 〈 0.001), melasma (p value 〈 0.001), post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (p value=0.006). However, there were certain disorders whose proportionate representation increased significantly during the lockdown period contrary to prevalent belief. These disorders included urticaria (p value 〈 0.001), herpes zoster (p value 〈 0.001), scabies (p value =0.01), generalized pruritus (p value 〈 0.001) and prurigo (p value 〈 0.001).Conclusions: Disorders like acne, male pattern hair loss, female pattern hair loss, verrucae, seborrheic dermatitis, ephelids, melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation which do not cause significant morbidity showed a significant decrease in proportional representation. The proportionate representation of disorders like urticaria, herpes zoster, scabies, generalized pruritus and prurigo increased significantly during the lockdown period.

    In: Our Dermatology Online, Our Dermatology Online, Vol. 12, No. 1 ( 2021-1-2), p. 37-39
    Abstract: Plica polonica is a common but rarely reported acquired condition characterized by sudden onset of irreversible entanglement of the hair. Psychological disturbance is a risk factor for plica formation. Plica polonica was considered a disease of the past caused by poor hygiene and haircare in psychiatric patients. In view of its clinical rarity, we describe the case of a 50-year-old Muslim woman of Kashmiri ethnicity presenting with plica polonica to explain the trichoscopic findings gathered in the process of medical examination. The patient had attempted the treatment of the condition with various shampoos and conditioners but without improvement. There was no history of mental illness either in the patient or the patient’s family. The hair was dry, lusterless, densely adherent, but without discharge, foul odor, or lymphadenopathy. Trichoscopy revealed varying shades of brown and crisscrossing of hair shafts resembling an intertwined mesh of wires with concretions of the hair shafts. The patient was advised to cut the matted hair.

    Abstract: Background: Skin disorders among hairdressers and beauticians have been recognized as a common problem, owing to the prolonged exposure to a variety of irritants and allergens. Objectives: The aim was to study the prevalence of dermatoses among hairdressers and beauticians in Srinagar, the capital city of Kashmir, India. Methods: The study was conducted on 100 respondents from 57 salons and parlors located within the borders of the city. Detailed history taking and complete examination were performed during personal visits. Patch tests were performed with the Indian standard series on all participants. Results: The mean age of the study sample was 24.3 ± 6.3 years. 54% of the studied cases were found to suffer from one or more skin disorders. Hand eczema was the most commonly encountered dermatosis, observed in 32% of the cases. Three patterns of hand eczema were recognized: classic (14%), interdigital (6%), and threading (8%). Callosities were seen in 19% of the cases. We employed the term scissor nodule for the typical pattern of a callosity caused by the finger rings of scissors. Nail staining was encountered in 19%. The most common allergens leading to a positive patch test were found to be paraphenylenediamine (PPD) in thirteen cases, followed by a fragrance mix in nine, nickel sulfate in nine, thiuram in three, and formaldehyde in one. Conclusion: Skin disorders are common among hairdressers and beauticians. Raising awareness of these disorders and methods of their prevention among this group is imperative.

    Abstract: Background: Chronic urticaria (CU) is a common skin condition, affecting 0.5-1% of the population. Multiple studies have demonstrated that plasma D-dimer levels could be employed as a biomarker for disease activity and treatment response in patients with CU. Aim: The aim was to evaluate the correlation between D-dimer levels and the disease activity of CU. Materials and Methods: This study was a case-control study conducted on 120 patients suffering from CU and 50 healthy subjects. Plasma D-dimer levels were measured using ELISA. Results: Mean plasma D-dimer levels in the patients with CU (720.5 ng/mL) were significantly higher than those in the controls (405.6 ng/mL) (p 〈 0.001). A significant correlation was observed between plasma D-dimer levels and the UAS (urticaria activity score). Conclusion: The patients with CU had higher plasma D-dimer levels than the control group. A positive statistical correlation was observed between plasma D-dimer levels and the severity of CU.
