Skin biopsy with investigation of small nerve fiber in human epidermis and dermis has been proven to be a useful method for demonstration of small fiber neuropathy. Quantification of intraepidermal nerve fiber density using anti-Protein Gene Product 9.5 (PGP 9.5) antibody is standardized method to diagnose the small fiber neuropathy. Skin biopsy method also makes it possible to differentiate the type of nerve fibers by using different antibodies. Quantification of dermal structures with different type of nerve fibers could be used to invest pathophysiologic mechanism of diseased state.

Erythromelalgia (EM) is an uncommon disorder characterized by redness, heat, and painful extremities with intense burning sensation. Attacks of EM may be worsened by limb warming, exercise, or dependency of the affected extremity. Although the coexistence of EM and Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) may appear to be opposites in symptomatology and clinical presentation, recent studies provide an explanation based on a dysfunction of the regulation of vasomotor tone. Here, we report a case of EM in a patient with RP.

Treatment-induced neuropathy in diabetes (also referred to as insulin neuritis) is considered a rare iatrogenic small fiber neuropathy caused by an abrupt improvement in glycemic control in the setting of chronic hyperglycemia. The prevalence and risk factors are unknown. It presents with neuropathic pain, symptoms of autonomic dysfunction, or a combination of both. We present a case that illustrates the range of presentations of the acute treatment-induced small fiber neuropathy in a patient with diabetes mellitus.

An 18-year-old man had suffered from intense burning with redness and an increased temperature of both the lower legs, forearms and hands since the age of 5. Symptoms were exacerbated by exposure to heat or walking. The patient obtained temporary relief by immersing his feet and hands in cold water. We observed the increase of skin temperature in relation to pain by thermography. No specific abnormalities were noted in laboratory studies. Treatment with aspirin was ineffective. We report a rare case of primary erythermalgia with typical features.

Erythromelalgia is a rare clinical syndrome characterized by redness and painful episodes of the feet and hands, which is triggered by heat or exercise. A 22-year-old male soldier presented with paroxysmal redness of the both feet associated with pain and tenderness upon heat stimulation, including wearing military shoes for periods of over 30 minutes. He had been treated of essential hypertension with dichlorothiazide and had a familial medical history of essential hypertension with his mother and brother. A 21-year-old male soldier also presented with paroxysmal redness of both feet and hands associated with pain and tenderness upon heat stimulation. By searching for the underlying or combined diseases of the erythromelalgia, he was also found to have essential hypertension. Herein, we report two cases of secondary erythromelalgia associated with essential hypertension.
