The combination of subcision and FMR is a safe and effective modality for mixed type acne scars. Additional randomized clinical study with long-term follow-up is necessary for further evaluation of FMR in combination with other procedures.

Branchio-oculo-facial syndrome (BOFS), a rare, multiple-malformation congenital disorder, is characterized by facial anomalies, including associated cutaneous and ocular abnormalities. We report a new case of BOFS in an 11-year-old male child with bilateral cervical erythematous scaly linear plaque associated with scar formation and erosion. Although BOFS is very rare, physicians, especially dermatologists, should be aware of the cutaneous and histopathological features of BOFS due to impacts of the associated anomalies.

Acne fulminans (AF), also known as acne maligna, is a rare painful ulcerative form of acne with an abrupt onset and systemic symptoms. Its incidence appears to be decreasing, possibly because of earlier and better treatment of acne. This report highlights a case on a necrotizing facial wound due to AF that was successfully treated with oral prednisolone and antimicrobial medication.

Percutaneous ethanol injection is an effective and safe treatment method for axillary osmidrosis and does not have permanent side effects.

Axillary osmidrosis (AO) is a common disease, affecting patients psychologically and influencing their quality of life. The medical approach to AO remains controversial, ranging from conservative medical to surgical choices. We describe the successful treatment of AO and axillary hyperhidrosis (AH) using percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) in a 30-year-old patient with AO and AH who did not respond to topical and systemic medication. We also describe the clinical efficacy of PEI by presenting our experience with histopathological evidence of necrosis of the sweat glands.
