Objective: This study examined the mediating effect of mindfulness and consciousness among five factors on the effect of stress on Internet game addiction tendency. Methods: An online survey was conducted on 400 men and women between their 20s and 40s across Korea. The scales used in the study were the Internet game addiction scale based on the DSM-5, Perceived Stress Scale, Mindfulness Scale, and Five-Factor Personality Scale. For data analysis, structural equation modeling was conducted, and Sobel verification was carried out to verify the significance of the mediating effects. Results: The results of the study are as follows: Stress showed a positive correlation with Internet game addiction tendency, mindfulness mediated the effect of stress on Internet game addiction tendency. Conclusion Of the five personality factors, conscientiousness also mediated the effect of stress on Internet game addiction tendency. This study highlights the need for further research for individuals with game addiction tendency.

A 34-year-old male with acne was presented with a 1-year history of multiple tiny subcutaneous nodules on his face, particularly on both cheeks. Physical examination revealed asymptomatic, palpable, and hard nodules with an acne scar. The skin lesions were more obvious when the cheeks were inflated. A skin biopsy revealed multiple focal bony trabeculae with osteoblasts in the dermis. A diagnosis of multiple miliary osteomas cutis was done. Multiple miliary osteoma cutis is a rare benign extraskeletal ossification that is considered relatively common and under-reported because of its asymptomatic behavior. Osteoma cutis is generally observed in middle-aged females with a history of acne. Male involvement rarely occurs, especially at a young age, as observed in this patient. Topical retinoids were prescribed, but the lesions did not abate at 3 months follow-up.

Traumatic tattoos are abnormal pigmentations caused by embedded foreign particles due to various injuries, including explosions, abrasions, or traffic accidents. Traumatic tattoos caused by pencils are common and considered trivial because they are usually confined to the injured site without any complications. A 4-year-old girl presented with a 5-month history of a grey-to-bluish patch on her left cheek. Histopathological examination revealed many pigment granules surrounding the blood vessels and appendages diffused from the mid to the lower dermis. Various staining methods were employed to verify that colorants caused the tattoo. To our knowledge, there have been no reports of traumatic tattoos caused by colored pencils that spread rapidly beyond the injured areas. In particular, various unexpected traumas can occur frequently in children; therefore, an accurate diagnosis is essential by differentiating it from other acquired pigmentary disorders
