RESUMEN
Erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp has particular relevance in Australia, due to its association with actinic damage. Despite its rarity, the recalcitrant nature of erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp dictates a protracted recovery fraught with relapse and recurrence, posing inherent challenges to successful treatment and complete recovery. In Australia, erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp is prevalent in the elderly, who are negatively affected due to the condition. We propose a management outline to aid clinical practice, to improve the quality of life in the elderly, whilst providing insight into the current understanding and treatment of erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp.

Atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) is a rare spindle cell neoplasm predominantly found on the head and neck of elderly individuals with sun-damaged skin, with no evidence-based guidelines for their management. A systematic retrospective review of the literature focusing on treatment modality found a recurrence and metastasis rate of 8.0% (5.6% when adjusted for incomplete excisions) and 0.5% for local excision and 4.6% and 3.2% for Mohs micrographic surgery, respectively. Our results suggest that with clear surgical margins, AFX is unlikely to recur and metastases are rare, with significantly higher rates in the immunosuppressed population.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a neutrophilic dermatosis often associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The literature has suggested that PG-IBD is usually associated with ulcerative colitis. METHODS: We reviewed the PG-IBD cases at the Mater Health Services' Adult Hospital in Brisbane between 1998 and 2009 through assessment of a comprehensive web database of IBD patients and verification of chart information of PG-IBD cases. RESULTS: PG-IBD at Mater was associated with clinically mild colonic IBD, with erythema nodosum, and with female sex. All PG-IBD responded eventually to increased immunomodulatory therapy. CONCLUSION: We discuss why PG-IBD is associated with clinically mild colonic IBD be it ulcerative colitis, Crohn's or indeterminate colitis.
