RFA ablates the lesions and achieves hemostasis while the sclerosant injected in and around the lesion reaches the deeper vascular lesions, preventing recurrence. The minimally invasive combination technique of RFA with sclerotherapy is a modality that can be used in the treatment of extensive microcystic malformations where surgical excision would lead to extensive scarring.

The authors have indicated no significant interest with commercial supporters.S kin needling or percutaneous collagen induction (PCI) suing a dermal rolling device (a needling tool) is an office procedure used for managing postacne scars. The treatment of postvaricella scars and postacne scars usually requires multiple sessions. We would hereby like to report the undesirable effect of "tram tracking" with the use of this microneedling technique.

Dermatophyte infection may present in the form of concentric rings caused by Trichophyton concentricum, known as Tinea Imbricata. In immunosuppressed patients, there are reports of lesions in the form of concentric rings caused by dermatophytes other than Trichophyton concentricum too, mostly by Trichophyton tonsurans, known as Tinea indesiciva or Tinea pseudoimbricata. We report a case of tinea capitis in a HIV-positive adult woman on antiretroviral therapy, who presented with concentric rings of papules and pustules with slight scaling on the scalp along with diffuse thinning of hair. Both Potassium hydroxide mount and culture showed the presence of Dermatophytes. Tinea capitis is considered rare in adults, but new cases are being reported in immunocompromised as well as in immunocompetent patients. The pertinent features of this case are: HIV-positive adult female on antiretroviral therapy, presenting with tinea capitis in the form of concentric rings; culture from the lesion grew Microsporum audouinii; responding to oral Terbinafine.
