“…Topical or intralesional corticosteroid therapy may also be used but recurrences are common. 1,8 Two cases of reactions to tattoos were reported here. In the first case, two different reactions were found: one pseudolymphomatous reaction and one photoinduced reaction.…”

“…They may represent a nonspecific finding or a manifestation of systemic sarcoidosis. 1 The pseudolymphomatous reaction presents as hardened erythematous nodules or violaceous plaques that appear on the tattoo and at histology reveal germinative, infiltrated mixed-cell centers, principally in the superficial dermis and close to vessels. The lymphocytes are polyclonal.…”

“…[1][2][3] Studies have reported various reactions to the salts and organic and inorganic compounds used in tattoos. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Among the most common reactions, those resulting from the red pigment deserve particular mention. These may be associated with allergic contact dermatitis, lichenoid dermatitis and pseudolymphoma, the two latter conditions having been identified in the cases presented here.…”

Tattoos are defined as the intentional or accidental deposit of pigment into the skin. These pigments have been associated with various dermatoses such as allergic contact dermatitis, lichenoid dermatitis, photoinduced reactions, and granulomatous, sarcoid and pseudolymphomatous reactions. The objective of this report was to describe the various types of reactions to pigments and the importance of recognizing them clinically. Two cases are reported: one of lichenoid dermatitis resulting from a reaction to the red pigment of a tattoo and the other of a pseudolymphoma resulting from a reaction to red and lilac pigments and a photo-induced reaction to a yellow pigment. Removal generally requires multiple forms of treatment, most of which fail to remove the colors completely. Keywords: Coloring agents; Skin manifestations; TattooingResumo: A tatuagem é definida como deposição de pigmento intencional ou acidental na pele. Os pigmentos têm sido associados a diversas dermatoses, como a dermatite de contato alérgica, a dermatite liquenoide e as reações fotoinduzidas, granulomatosas, sarcoídeas e pseudolinfomatosas. Enfocam-se os diversos tipos de reações aos pigmentos e a importância de reconhecê-los clinicamente. São relatados dois casos: um de dermatite liquenoide sobre o pigmento vermelho e outro de pseudolinfoma sobre os pigmentos vermelho e lilás e de reação fotoinduzida sobre o amarelo. A remoção geralmente requer múltiplos tratamentos, e a maioria não retira as cores completamente.

Mechanical Injury to the Skin

Healthy skin is able to withstand the effects of a variety of mechanical forces, such as friction, pressure, contusion and vibration. However, when the force is of sufficient intensity or duration, mechanical injury may occur. Phenomena such as the isomorphic (Koebner) response and Nikolsky sign are of interest to dermatologists when considering the underlying pathology. Other conditions are important to recognize, as they may potentially be confused with skin cancers (black heel, spectacle frame acanthoma) or important dermatological diseases (foreign body reaction, friction blisters, sclerodermiform reaction, semicircular lipoatrophy). Mechanical insult to the skin may reflect an occupational hazard, such as the diverse skin reactions to musical instruments, traumatic effects of sports, hypothenar hammer syndrome and hand–arm vibration syndrome. The diverse presentations of cutaneous mechanical injury are discussed in this chapter.
