CARD mediates important cellular signaling events. Abnormalities in these cellular signaling events play a role in the pathogenesis of malignancies and immune disorders. The significance of CARD in dermatological diseases is less discussed. Mutations affecting CARD-containing proteins are reported to play a pathogenic role in certain patients with dermatoses such as psoriasis, pityriasis rubra pilaris, atopic dermatitis, and fungal infections. These underlying mutations are suggested to have therapeutic implications in various dermatoses, though more information is needed regarding this. This review discusses the association between dermatoses and mutations involving CARD-containing proteins.","PeriodicalId":17051,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Skin and Sexually Transmitted Diseases","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81462600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we discuss a few pertinent VID including vulvar dermatitis, psoriasis, lichen planus, and lichen sclerosus. This review will focus only on common VID, and a few rare conditions with characteristic features such as Crohn’s disease, plasma cell vulvitis, acantholytic disorder of genitocrural area, desquamative vulvitis, and atrophic vulvovaginitis. A thorough history taking and relevant investigations including dermoscopy and biopsy are relevant to proper diagnosis and management of VID. Early management of VID is essential since these conditions are prone to interfere with psychosexual functioning of the patient. Potent topical steroids are the first line management in most cases, followed by topical calcineurin inhibitors, emollients, and antihistamines. Vulvar area is resistant to steroid induced atrophy; hence, use of potent topical steroids does not pose a problem. Oral steroids or steroid sparing agents are used in resistant cases.","PeriodicalId":17051,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Skin and Sexually Transmitted Diseases","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79775910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These are notable since they are associated with a high post-treatment recurrence rate. The incidence of VIN is increasing in younger women.
