We observed complete clinical and histopathologic remission of papules, plaques and nodules in two patients with multiple lesions of Bowen's disease and squamous cell carcinoma. Our findings indicate that topical imiquimod is a potentially promising therapeutic approach for the local treatment of early forms of cutaneous neoplasia, such as Bowen's disease and squamous cell carcinoma because it is a non-invasive therapy with a good cosmetic outcome. It may therefore be worthy of consideration in a subgroup of patients who cannot have or do not wish to have surgery.

We documented localized periorbital edema in one patient with ibuprofen sensitivity without underlying chronic urticaria. The reaction developed one hour after ingestion of 200 mg of ibuprofen. No systemic symptoms were observed. No other NSAIDs did not induce symptoms. This patient was able to tolerate doses of ibuprofen after pretreatment with terfenadine. These observations suggest that histamine played a central role in this ibuprofen-induced skin reaction. Treatment with terfenadine enabled the patient to tolerate ibuprofen without experiencing any side effects. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of periorbital edema induced by ibuprofen.

A 39-year-old Thai man had eczema on the left groin accompanied by asymptomatic white nodules on the public hair for two weeks. Examination with the Wood's lamp, microscopic examination, culture and biochemical testing showed organisms compatible with Trichosporon beigelii. The diagnosis of "White Piedra" was made, and this is the first case of White Piedra to be reported in Thailand.
