Tinea incognito remains diagnostic challenge even to expert specialist because of modified clinical presentation caused by of inappropriate use of topical steroid. Topical steroid are being prescribed frequently for vary many dermatosis including fungal infection of skin and being used by patient as "over the counter drug" leading to varied clinical presentation of common dermatosis. This case report is of iatrogenic dermatosis that was invariably misdiagnosed by general physicians. Key words: Tinea incognito; dermatosis; fungal infection.

CorrigendumThere is correction in the Journal of Dhaka Medical College, April 2009 issue (Vol. 18, No. 1). In the original article titled "Treatment of vitiligo with autologous epidermal transplantation using the roof of suction blisters, first in Bangladesh", the name of the first author will have to be read Khondoker MS instead of Khundkar SH, and in address of correspondence Dr. Md. Sajjad Khondoker instead of Prof. Shafquat Hussain Khundkar at page no. 58.On 15/02/2011, the first author's name was changed from SH Khundkar to MS Khondoker on the online edition of the journal on BanglaJOL.We report our experience of autologous epidermal transplantation for 30 (Thirty) patients with vitiligo. The vitiligo in 25 (Twenty five) patients was stable whereas in the rest (5) it was active. Autologous epidermal transplantation was performed using suction blister roofs from normal pigmented skin to vitiligo skin that was failed to repigment using topical steroid and/or psoralenultraviolet- A treatment. Grafts were well taken in all the patients. Only three of them are presented as case report in this article. There were no complications except mild hyper pigmentation at the donor areas. For the patient who had active vitiligo, depigmentation of the graft and concomitant Koebner‘s phenomenon at the donor site were observed 3 weeks after the procedure. We conclude that autologous epidermal transplantation using the roof of suction blisters is an excellent and safe regimenting procedure for stable, localized vitiligo and the active disease precludes transplantation. Key words: Epidermis surgery; vitiligo therapy; transplantation alutologous. DOI: 10.3329/jdmc.v18i1.6308 J Dhaka Med Coll. 2009; 18(1) : 58-63

We report a case of ten year old male child of Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) who presented initially with predominant hemorrhagic bullae in extremities. Initial presentation with bullae is rare in HSP. The child recovered within two weeks with a course of systemic and topical steroid without any sequel.

A 19-year-old man visited the neurology clinic for evaluation of a headache and pulsating tinnitus that he had experienced for 2 months. A neurological examination was normal, except for bilateral disc swelling. His medical history was notable for recently diagnosed psoriasis for which he had been applying topical hydrocortisone 2.5% three to four times a day. Neuro-imaging with a computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging/magnetic resonance venography of the brain was normal, except for tortuosity of the optic nerves and dilatation of the optic nerve sheaths. Pseudotumor cerebri syndrome was suspected. Unfortunately, the patient refused a spinal tap to measure the cerebrospinal fluid opening pressure. Excessive application of topical steroid was believed to be the cause of the patient’s pseudotumor cerebri syndrome. The patient’s headache and disc swelling improved after treatment with acetazolamide and cessation of topical hydrocortisone. This is the first case report of a topical steroid associated with pseudotumor cerebri syndrome.

Tinea incognito is a disease that gets the look of atipic form of mycotic infection, imitating many different dermatomes formed by misdiagnosing and giving improper topical, systemic steroids or immune suppressive therapy. Tinea incognito or steroid modified tinea is a dermatophytic infection in which topical or systemic steroids, administered as a result of dermatological misdiagnosis or pre existing pathologies, have modified the clinical appearance of the fungal infection, transforming the typical ring worm and mimicking other skin diseases [1,2]. In this case we demonstrate a patient who started topical corticosteroids application with misdiagnosis and after that insisting topical corticosteroids use on her treatment from doctors she see

Although penile keloid formation can be seen after major penile surgeries, it is rarely reported after circumcision and there is no standard method for the treatment of this complication. We present a patient who was admitted with a penile keloid mass that occurred after circumcision surgery and discuss the treatment we administered in light of the current literature review. A 7-year-old white boy was admitted to our clinic with a swollen stiff mass on the foreskin six months after circumcision. The parents indicated that no complication occurred in the early postoperative period. Physical examination revealed a white-colored stiff mass measuring approximately 2×1.5 cm in size along the penile ventral surface. Intralesional injection of 0.5 ml triamcinolone acetonide was administered for 12 weeks. At 9 months after circumcision, the keloid tissue was resected. Beginning from the first postoperative week, a silicone gel sheet and topical steroid application were administered for 8 weeks. At a 1-year follow-up, the penis had a satisfactory appearance.
