Erythema ab igne induced by a laptop computer.

Erythema ab igne (EAI) or ‘toasted skin’ is a reticular, telangiectatic, pigmented dermatosis, occuring after long-term exposure to infrared radiation that is insufficient to produce a burn [1]. Only few case report is founded in literature about laptop computerinduced erythema ab igne [2]. A 31-year-old woman presented with a 8-week history of an asymptomatic patch on her left thigh.

Bleomycin-induced flagellate hyperpigmentation.

Bleomycin is a chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of different tumours. It has several side effects, including flagellate hyperpigmentation, which is a unique and a well-documented side effect of bleomycin therapy. We report a case of a 23-year-old woman with a personal history of ovarian dysgerminoma, who developed flagellate hyperpigmentation on trunk after bleomycin therapy.

Minocycline-induced hyperpigmentation

A 62-year-old male with a long history of rosacea, which was well controlled on minocycline, presented to his primary care physician for routine examination. Physical examination was noted for non-palpable, non-pruritic blue patches of hyperpigmentation on the medial aspects of his lower extremities bilaterally. Recognition and management of the findings are discussed.

Tegafur-induced acral hyperpigmentation

Tegafur is a prodrug of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) with a similar spectrum of antitumor activity. It is used in the treatment of advanced gastrointestinal neoplasms. Over 5-FU, tegafur has the advantage of oral administration and less hematologic toxicity. Gastrointestinal toxicity is its main dose-limiting factor. The cutaneous adverse effects of tegafur include mucositis, photosensitivity, diffuse...
