There is, however, a scarcity of these findings in the literature. This descriptive observational cross-sectional study was conducted to describe mucocutaneous manifestations in multi-transfused beta-thalassemia major children. The study comprised 68 thalassemia major children attending the thalassemia unit for blood transfusion at a tertiary care hospital in North India. A dermatologist conducted a detailed examination to look into the presence of any mucocutaneous manifestations, including disorders of the hair and nails. The age range of enrolled thalassemic children was 6 months-19 years, with an average age of 10.5 years; the boy versus girl ratio was 1.72:1. All enrolled children had at least one cutaneous manifestation. Common dermatologic manifestations observed in these patients included hyperpigmentation of the knuckles (60.2%), moderate pallor (42.6%), icterus (26.4%), lusterless hair (20.5%), leukonychia striata or horizontal white streaks on the nails (14.7%), and oral ulcers (10.2%).

The cutaneous burns associated with lightning strikes demonstrate peculiar pathognomonic signs and patterns. In this review of the literature, we discuss the epidemiology and etiology of lightning injuries, lightning compared to other forms of high voltage electrical injury, the clinical features of lightning injuries, the most common cutaneous manifestations associated with lightning strikes, and the treatment and prevention of lightning injuries. Some of the cutaneous manifestations include feathering lesions, linear burns, punctate burns, and thermal injuries. While not considered true burns, Lichtenburg figures display a unique ferning pattern. Although lightning injuries are typically superficial, transient, and resolve relatively quickly compared to other electrical burns, the ability to recognize their cutaneous manifestations may improve emergent care and life-saving measures for these victims. Additionally, superficial surface burns secondary to lightning injury do not preclude systemic injury and significant pathology may be underlying.</p>","PeriodicalId":21891,"journal":{"name":"Skinmed","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10458674","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}

It presents with erosions and shallow ulcers, accompanied by delayed healing and associated with cutaneous atrophy, rather than pustules. It exhibits predominance for women, with a predilection for a chronically sun-damaged scalp and, less commonly, the extremities, particularly the legs, as well as the face and mucosal surfaces. The role of infection, actinic damage, trauma, hormones, autoimmune disease, cutaneous atrophy, and genetics in the pathogenesis of EPD has been described in literature. Increased awareness and a high index of suspicion permit prompt treatment with topical corticosteroids, with or without oral zinc, followed by maintenance therapy with topical calcineurin inhibitors. Prevention, prior recognition, and prompt treatment are required for addressing this complex condition.
