Abstract
Not all facial comedonal lesions represent acne, nor are they always benign. A lack of response to standard acne treatments should prompt clinicians to reconsider the diagnosis and explore more serious conditions, such as comedonal lupus erythematosus, folliculotropic lymphoma, or acneiform syphilis. Recognizing these conditions can significantly impact patient management.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Case Reports is different from other case report journals. Our aim is to directly improve global health and increase clinical understanding using case reports to convey important best practice information. We welcome case reports from all areas of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, and Veterinary Science and may include: -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates an important best practice teaching message -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates the appropriate use of an important clinical guideline or systematic review. As well as: -The management of novel or very uncommon diseases -A common disease presenting in an uncommon way -An uncommon disease masquerading as something more common -Cases which expand understanding of disease pathogenesis -Cases where the teaching point is based on an error -Cases which allow us to re-think established medical lore -Unreported adverse effects of interventions (drug, procedural, or other).
