Introduction: Dermatological diseases in prison is still an under-researched field and the importance of identifying and treating them promptly has recently been recognized. Skin diseases are common among prisoners especially those from developing countries due to the substandard living conditions such as overcrowding with hot and humid environment. Aims and Objectives: Our study aimed to estimate the occurrence of various dermatological diseases among prison inmates. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cohort study of inmates at Nashik Central Jail, Maharashtra was done for a duration of 6 months between February to July 2018. Results: Out of 3609 inmates, 532 inmates (461 males and 71 females) aged 23–62 years were suffering from various skin diseases. Most common skin disease were infectious dermatoses (72.18%, n=384). Amongst infections, fungal contributed to maximum cases (85.93%, n=330) of cases followed by bacterial infection (13.84%, n=53). Infestations were second most common skin disease (20.86%, n=111). Rest were less 7% of cases. Conclusion: Prison inmates are prone to develop various skin infections and infestations due to poor standard of living. They are often neglected & may pose a danger of spreading skin infections among other prison inmates & in the community eventually. Appropriate and adequate health policies can prevent skin disease in prison.Keywords

Introduction: Alopecia Areata (AA) is one of the most common form of hair loss seen in dermatology. Treatment failures can occur with almost every conventional therapy, either singly or in combination. Aims and Objectives: To study the clinical profiles and management outcome of Liquid Nitrogen Cryotherapy (LNC) for the treatment of unresponsive cases of AA. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was conducted on five patients who showed no response to conventional topical treatment for six months. The subjects were enrolled in the study after written consent. Clinical photographs were recorded at each visit. Patients were given 3-5 sittings of LNC at 2 week intervals. Each session consisted of dual freeze thaw cycles of 15 seconds each, with a cryospray technique following application of topical anaesthetic cream. Suitable antibiotics and anti-inflammatory agents were prescribed post-operatively for five days. The clinical response was evaluated by using regrowth scale at 4th week and 8th week. Final end point evaluation of patient post 3 months after the last treatment session was done to observe sustained regrowth of hair. Results: Five patients were recruited, out of which three patients showed an excellent response, 1 each had a satisfactory response and a fair response respectively. Commonly seen adverse effects were slight pain, erythema, edema, erosion, crusting, dyspigmentation/hypopigmentation, which were transient and did not require withdrawal of treatment. Conclusion: Liquid Nitrogen Cryotherapy is a cheaper, easily available with transient adverse effects and can be worth trying in unresponsive Alopecia Areata.Keywords

Introduction: Dermatophyte infections are a rarity in infants, with infection in neonates being still rarer. Case Report: We present a case of a 15-day-old female neonate with few, well-defined, scaly plaques present on the right cheek. Initial suspicion was of contact dermatitis and seborrheic dermatitis. Presence of tinea corporis and cruris in the father prompted us to do KOH examination which revealed the presence of fungal elements. Affected neonate was given treatment in the form of topical sertaconazole for 2 weeks after which the lesions resolved. After 2 months follow up, no recurrence was seen. Conclusion: Always when in doubt, examination of the paramedical staff, doctors and family members handling the baby can give a clue to the diagnosis.Keywords

Tinea incognito caused by of over the counter and overuse of topical steroids resulting in various clinical presentations making it difficult to diagnose. Now-a-days over the counter use of topical combinations containing steroids have increased. We present here a case of an adult female presented with lichenified plaque over both bottocks, abdomen and lower limbs associated with itching with history of over the counter application of topical steroid containing combination on her own. KOH mount of skin scraping confirmed the diagnosis. Treatment with systemic and topical antifungals for 6 weeks resulted into remarkable improvement.Keywords
