Febrile ulceronecrotic pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA), or febrile ulcerative Mucha-Haberman disease (FUMHD) is very rare, but potentially lethal variants of PLEVA. This subtype is characterized by rapidly progressive ulceronecrotic lesions and systemic manifestations, such as high fever, gastrointestinal, neurological, cardiologic and pulmonary involvement, and rheumatologic manifestations. Several treatments with variable response have been challenged, such as systemic steroid, antibiotics, methotrexate, dapsone, cyclosporine and ultraviolet therapy. But there is no standard therapy for FUMHD to date. We report a 59-year-old woman with FUMHD, who recurred after discontinuation of systemic steroid, but successfully treated with oral cyclosporine.

A synthetic analogue of calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxymitamin D3), has shown immunomodulatory effects as well as induction of cell differentiation and inhibition of cell proliferation. This agent has been widely used for psoriasis. We report a case of seborrheic keratosis of the left areola in a 33-year-old female who was treated with calcipotriol ointment. Because of the lesion's location and shape, it was difficult to try ablative methods. However, complete disappearance of the lesion was observed after 6 weeks of topical calcipotriol application. This case suggests that the calcipotriol ointment is effective in the treatment of seborrheic keratosis.

We report a case of tinea incognito in a 29-year-old man after applying the 0.03% tacrolimus ointment. He was known atopic dermatitis patient and has been treated with intermittent application of tacrolimus. For his facial pruritus 0.03% tacrolimus ointment was prescribed, and after one week he developed annularly grouped erythematous plaques and patches around the ointment-applied area. The KOH smear revealed multiple fungal hyphae. Dermatologists should be aware of the possibility of topical tacrolimus to be the causative agent for tinea incognito.

Therapeutic options for infantile hemangioma are limited. The nonselective beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist propranolol is an effective therapy for infantile hemangiomas. However, systemic propranolol carries a risk of serious side effects, including bradycardia, hypoglycemia, arrhythmias, hypotension and bronchospasm. Recently, treatment of infantile hemangioma with topical timolol (nonselective beta-blocker similar to propranolol) has been reported. We treated successfully the perineal ulcerative hemangioma with topical timolol. We believe that timolol is a safe and effective topical agent and should be strongly considered as one of good therapeutic options for hemagnioma.
