ABSTRACT
Pustules in a neonate can be due to various causes. Though the majority of conditions causing pustules in a neonate are benign, it is essential to clearly differentiate these from serious ones. A systematic approach based on detailed history and clinical examination of the neonate along with basic laboratory evaluation narrows down diagnostic possibilities and aids in the correct diagnosis. This review outlines a step-by-step approach so as to avoid clinical dilemmas and unnecessary intervention.

Lasers and light-based devices are indispensable to an aesthetic dermatology practice. The growing popularity of lasers has been matched by a sharp increase in the incidence of complications. The Indian skin with its high melanin content is more prone to injury and careful setting of laser parameters, early detection of complications and immediate therapy are vital to avoiding permanent sequelae. We review the various complications that occur during laser procedures and their management.

This report describes two atypical cases of leprosy. A 48 year old male patient presented laryngeal dyspnea with adhesions of the oropharynx of which the biopsies were inconclusive. The patient was cachectic with hyperesthesia of the extremities and two subcutaneous nodules. The biopsy of one nodule evoked thesaurismosis or dyslipoidosis while the bacilloscopy was positive in nasal smears. A 14 year old female patient suffered from bullae which appeared spontaneously on erythematous skin on the legs and upper arms. Upon examination those areas were found to be hypoaesthetic, as was a very large hamartoma on the left half of the body. A biopsy of healthy skin evoked the diagnosis of leprosy. The patient then developed BT leprosy and episodes of hysteria. The first observation led to several diagnoses: while laryngeal dyspnea is unusual in LL and while cutaneous histology of regressive LL contrasted with the abundance of the bacilloscopy. The diagnosis of the second case is that of indeterminate leprosy with premonitory neurological signs associated with pathomania and evolution to a multibacillary form.
