Forty-three patients with papulo-pustular rosacea with Demodex(D.) folliculorum were treated for 8 weeks on a random basis either with tetracycline 250 mg three times daily or with metronidazole 250 mg three times daily. Both drugs produced an improvement which was greater after 8 weeks than after 4 weeks, but there was no significant difference between them. The number of D. follilculorum after treatment with tetracycline was slightly decreased, but the number of D. folliculorum after treatment with metronidazole was more decreased than the tetracycline group. Metronidazole appears to be a effective drug for the treatment of rosacea with D. folliculorum.

Lichen planus is rare in Korea and localized lichen planus on the lip without other skin lesions is even rarer. A 77-year-old man has oozing and crusting patches und somewhat ulceration surrounded by whitish reticular elements on violaceous base on both lips with burning sensation and pain. A 63-year-old man has well demarcated violaceous white reticular patches on the lower lip, buccal mucosa, glans penis and coronal sulcus. Clinical and histopathological studies of two cases showed typical features of lichen planus. They were treated with systemic and topical corticosteroids and showed much improvement.

The important prerequisite for treatrnent of onychomycosis is the removal of as rnuch fungus-infected nail material as possible. Nincty-five patients with anychomycosis were treated with using urea preparations under occlusive dressings. The urea preparations were quite successful in maceraing the nail plate from the nail bed, allowing the easy removaI of diseased nails in all cases except one. The urea preparations removed only abnormal nail. Completely normal nail was unaffected. After nail avulsion, 95 patients were treated for 6 months with combination clotrimazole and ketoconazcile(group A), or with clotrimazole only(group B). Of the 38 patients in group A who complcted the treatment, 25(65.8%) were cured 6 months later by clinical and mycological criteria, compared to 20(47.6%) of 42 patieries in group B.

A 48-year-old male patient had white to ivory colored patches on brown colored bases over the right side of his back for 8 years without accompanying pruritus or pain. Six months prior to the onset of his skin eruption, he received acupuncture for the relief of right sided back pain for 1 month. Histopathologic examination of the white patches showed follicular plugging, epidermal atrophy, focal hydropic degeneration of basal cells, lymphedema of papillary dermis, thickened homogenization of collagen fibers; consistent with findings previously reported in lichen sclerosus et atrophicus. We report this case to document the occurence in an acupuncture site and stress the unusual clinical manifestation of a zosteriform distribution.

We present a case of Kyrle's disease. The pstient was a 48-year-old male who had been undergoing hemodialysis for 6 years due to chronic renal failure caused by polycystic kidney. The lesions were hyperkeratotic papules on the lower legs and abdomen witb 3 months' duration. Histopathologically, the epidermis showed central invsgination filled with heavy keratotic, partly parakeratotic plug, basophilic debris and neutrophils. There were a few premature keratinized cells below the parakeratotic plugs and complete epidermal perforation was present.
