Background: Recent studies have highlighted new botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) applications in the field of dermatology. Objective: To review current knowledge of BoNT use in dermatology. Methods: The literature of the last 5 years has been reviewed. Results: We describe interesting protocols of BoNT treatment for hyperhidrosis (HH), hypertrophic scars and keloids, Raynaud phenomenon, facial flushing, oily skin, psoriasis, Hailey-Hailey disease, and cutaneous lesions like painful lesions and periorbital syringomas. Conclusions: Several skin conditions eligible for BoNT treatment have been described. After the wide application for HH treatment, scars as well as vascular and inflammatory skin disorders, oily skin and cutaneous lesions represent fields of application of BoNT.

Purpose: To describe a patient with systemic sclerosis who presented with subcutaneous yellow–white nodules on her lateral orbital rims. Methods: Case report. Results: A 53-year-old female was referred for management of subcutaneous firm nodules on her lateral orbital rims. She was known to have CREST (calcification, Raynaud phenomenon, esophageal dysmotility, sclerodactyly, and telangiectasia) syndrome, a limited variant of systemic sclerosis. Her drug history included diltiazem, captopril, aspirin, and prednisolone. There were bilateral multiple immobile yellow–white subcutaneous nodules with firm consistency, a few of which were in close proximity of periorbital skin. She was scheduled for surgical resection of the lesions and following tissue dissection, the calcified foci were removed. The incisions healed with some delay but the final postoperative follow-up at third month showed satisfactory appearance. Conclusion: Dystrophic calcinosis cutis occurs in approximately one-fourth of patients with systemic sclerosis (scleroderma), particularly in those with the limited variant or CREST syndrome. The most frequently involved sites are the extremities. Occasionally, calcinosis involves the trunk or head, but involvement of bony orbital walls is extremely rare. Surgical excision can be considered for treatment of discrete foci of calcinosis cutis.
