RESUMEN
Subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE) is a type of lupus erythematosus having distinct characteristic clinical, serologic, and genetic features. Other than the commonly occurring papulosquamous and annular polycyclic lesion, rarely it may present as erythema multiformae, toxic epidermo necrolysis like lesion (Rowell syndrome), erythroderma, and generalized poikiloderma. Herein, we report a case of SCLE presenting as erythroderma.
RESUMEN
Linear and whorled nevoid hypermelanosis (LWNH) is a rare sporadic disorder, characterized by hyperpigmented, reticulated, streaky, and whorled macules along Blaschko lines. Herein we report a 33-year-old male presenting with linear and whorled nevoid hypermelanosis.There was no family history. Dermatoscopy revealed a net like pattern. This case is been presented for its rarity and for its dermatoscopic pattern.

BACKGROUND: Dermatoscopy is a new noninvasive tool for the diagnosis of various skin and hair disorders. Dermatoscopy of alopecia areata (AA) shows various specific features, which may aid in confirming the diagnosis. AIMS: The aim of this study was to determine the various clinical patterns and the dermatoscopic features of AA. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 75 patients of AA were evaluated with a dermatoscope (magnification ×25 and ×60). RESULTS: The mean age of onset of AA was 23.58 years. Males were more commonly affected. Scalp was most commonly involved. Patchy alopecia was the most common pattern observed. 10 patients showed concomitant nail changes. The dermatoscopic features included yellow dots (YDs) in 43 (57.33%) patients, black dots (BDs) in 63 (84%) cases, broken hairs (BHs) in 28 (37.33%) cases, short vellus hair (SVH) in 51 (68%) patients and tapering hair (TH) in 14 (18.67%) cases. CONCLUSION: The most common dermatoscopic finding observed was BDs, followed by SVHs, YDs, BH and TH.
