Depilation in a 6-month-Old with hypertrichosis: A case report.

Hypertrichosis in the pediatric age group can be troubling to both patients and parents. There is no well-established method for managing this problem in young children. We describe the successful use of a cream depilatory agent for removal of excess hair from the face and body of a 6-month-old girl. Excellent cosmetic results were obtained. The risks and benefits of the use of depilatory cream in young patients are analyzed. Other options for hair removal in children are also reviewed.

Neutrophilic dermatoses in two children with idiopathic neutropenia: association with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) therapy.

Painful neutrophilic skin lesions were observed in two children receiving granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) for treatment of idiopathic neutropenia. A girl with cystic fibrosis and cyclic neutropenia developed an erythematous papular eruption without fever or neutrophilia 7 months after commencing therapy with G-CSF. A skin biopsy specimen revealed microscopic, sterile, neutrophilic abscesses. A boy with chronic neutropenia and recurrent inflammatory skin lesions developed multiple erythematous nodules following administration of G-CSF. A biopsy specimen showed neutrophilic panniculitis. We believe that these skin eruptions belong to a spectrum of neutrophilic dermatoses that can be induced or aggravated by G-CSF therapy.

Lymphangioma circumscriptum treated with pulsed dye laser.

Lymphangioma circumscriptum is a lymphatic malformation that involves the skin and may extend to subcutaneous tissue and muscle. Treatment of these lesions is challenging. Surgical excision may be performed but recurrence is common. Herein we report a child with a symptomatic lymphangioma circumscriptum that was treated with pulsed dye laser with good results. For superficial lymphatic malformations containing blood, pulsed dye laser might be considered as a treatment option.

Peanut protein as a major cause of adverse food reactions in patients with atopic dermatitis.

Peanuts, along with milk and eggs, have been documented to account for approximately 80% of adverse reactions to foods in patients with atopic dermatitis. Over the past 3 years, we have evaluated 71 patients with atopic dermatitis, ranging from mild to severe in nature. These patients were initially evaluated by allergy prick skin testing and when appropriate had double-blind placebo-controlled food challenges done. Thirty-nine (55%) patients had a positive prick skin test to one of the foods tested. There were 80 food challenges performed with peanut, accounting for 12 (32%) of the 38 positive challenges in 23 (31%) patients. As in earlier studies, patients developed skin (97%), respiratory (55%), and gastrointestinal (32%) symptoms during the challenge. Of the five patients with histories of prior anaphylactic reactions four (80%) were to peanut. These studies indicate that children with all degrees of atopic dermatitis may benefit from evaluation for food hypersensitivity. They also show that peanut is a major food protein responsible for these reactions.
