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.

Erythromelalgia is a rare disorder characterized by intense hun ing pain in the distal extremities associated with erythema and increased skin temperature. The patient was a 42- year-old woman with a 5 year history of burning pain, erythema, and warmth of the skin on both hands and feet. She had been suffering from bronchiali astalima since childhood. The onset of the symptoms were temporally related to the attacks of hei bronchial asthma. Physical examination revealed mottled dusky red patches on her both ha ids and feet, and purplish acrocyanosis on the finger and toe tips. We present a case of secondary erythromelalgia associated with bronchial asthma and acrocyanosis.

Erythromelalgia is a rare clinical condition of unknown etiology characterized by severe burning pain in the distal limbs. It can be accompanied by pronounced erythema and increased skin temperature precipitated by heat or activity and can be improved by cooling the affected part. It can be divided into two categories, primary, which begins spontaneously at any age, and secondary, which is infrequently associated with diabetes mellitus. However, the significance of this association is little known. We report a rare case of intractable erythromelalgia in an adolescent with diabetes mellitus.

An 8-year-old female has suffered from intense burning with redness and increased temperature of the feet and hands since 5-year-old. We observed increase of the skin temperature in relation of pain attack by the digital thermometer and the color television thermography. No specific abnormalities were noted in the laboratory studies. Treatment with various systemic and topical medication revealed of unfavorable result, but for the conservative mangement, the pain was relieved by the exposure to the cold environment-laying bare in the outdoors and the wind of the electric fan.

Erythromelalgia(EM) is a rare clinical syndrome characterized by the triad of redness, increased temperature, and pain of the extremities. The patient was a 69-year-old woman presented erythematous tender patches on both palms and soles. Laboratory and clinical investigations revealed an underlying myeloproliferative disorder. Histologic examination of the erythema on her foot showed some vessels with thickened endothelial walls and partially obstructed lumens by organized thrombi. Hydroxyurea used for the treatment of polycythemia vera eliminated the skin lesions and symptoms of erythromelalgia. We report a case of secondary erythromelalgia associated with polycythemia vera.
