| acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis | A rare dermatosis, predominant in women, of rapid onset and characterised by plaque-like lesions, usually multiple, on the face, neck, and upper extremities, accompanied by conjunctivitis, mucosal lesions, fever, malaise, arthralgia, and peripheral blood neutrophilia in many cases; biopsy reveals polymorphonuclear infiltrate of the dermis; rapid remission occurs with systemic steroid therapy. Synonym: Sweet's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ashy dermatosis | Variously sized gray or red, slightly elevated macular lesions that tend to coalesce on the trunk, extremities, and face, commonly in dark-skinned Latin Americans; of unknown cause. Synonym: ashy dermatosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bowen's precancerous dermatosis | A persistent progressive non-elevated red scaly or crusted plaque which is due to an intradermal carcinoma and is potentially malignant. Atypical squamous cells proliferate through the whole thickness of the epidermis. The lesions may occur anywhere on the skin surface or on mucosal surfaces. The cause most frequently found is trivalent arsenic compounds. Freezing, cauterization or diathermy coagulation is often effective. (12 Dec 1998) |

| chronic bullous dermatosis of childhood | A rare self-limiting bullous disease, chiefly of the trunk, perioral, and pelvic areas, with onset in the first decade, successively less severe recurrences, and total remission at adolescence; linear epidermal basement membrane zone deposit of IgA is found in involved and in normal skin. Synonym: linear IgA bullous disease in children. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pigmented purpuric lichenoid dermatosis | An eruption comprised of lichenoid papules variously pigmented from the haemosiderin of the associated purpura; found on the legs, usually in men over 40 years of age. Synonym: Gougerot and Blum disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| progressive pigmentary dermatosis | Chronic purpura, especially of the legs in men, spreading to form brownish patches; associated microscopically with perivascular lymphatic infiltration, diapedesis, and haemosiderosis. Synonym: Schamberg's dermatitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| seborrheic dermatosis | <dermatology> A form of inflammatory skin rash that results from an over activity of the sebaceous glands in the skin. Treatment often includes a mild hydrocortisone-containing cream. (27 Sep 1997) |
| subcorneal pustular dermatosis | A pruritic chronic annular eruption of sterile vesicles and pustules beneath the stratum corneum; bears a considerable clinical resemblance to dermatitis herpetiformis. Synonym: Sneddon-Wilkinson disease, subcorneal pustular dermatitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
