ABSTRACT
Psychiatric and psychological morbidity is often associated with skin diseases. Recent research has focused on the epidemiological and clinical aspects of human papillomavirus infection, whereas the psychosocial and emotional factors related to the disease have not been well established. We describe the experience of a 22-year-old male who, after being diagnosed of condyloma acuminata, developed a major depressive disorder.

Rheumatoid nodulosis is considered a benign variant of rheumatoid arthritis. Several therapies have been used with variable results. We report a 63-year-old man who presented with nodular lesions on the metacarpophalangeal joints and knees which were diagnosed of rheumatoid nodulosis. Topical tacrolimus was started with good response on the following months.
