RESUMEN
Traumatic anserine folliculosis (TAF) is an under-recognized and under-reported entity that is commonly mistaken as comedonal acne. It is seen in children and young adults and friction has been implicated as a probable factor in its causation. As face is the commonest site, biopsy may not be a feasible diagnostic option. Dermoscopy proves to be a reliable non-invasive diagnostic tool to differentiate these two disorders. In this article, we describe the dermoscopic features of TAF in three patients and also attempt to highlight the clinical and dermoscopic distinction between TAF and comedonal acne.

Leprosy is a unique infectious disease due to varied spectrum of clinical signs it exhibits. Pure neural leprosy (PNL) is an unusual form of leprosy and accounts for 4-8% of all leprosy cases. It can manifest as a simple tingling sensation to complex and tragic motor paralysis. Here we report a case of PNL involving isolated cutaneous radial nerve as multiple abscesses along the course of the nerve. To the best of our knowledge, this is rarest presentation of pure neural leprosy.
