Chronic Folliculitis of Legs (CFL / DCPA)

Chronic folliculitis of legs, though not uncommon in India, is not frequently seen in the same expatriate population in Gulf. This is a case I saw few days back. However he complained that lesions appeared only when he is in gulf and disappeared completely while in India! PUVA and Co-Trimoxazole have found to be useful in reducing recurrence. Co-Trimoxazole retains high sensitivity in this region probably because of decreased use.

Tumid lesion on the nose with scarring alopecia.

36 year old male patient presented with this tumid lesion on the nose since few months. On examination he also had this violaceous patch of scarring alopecia which he had not noticed. He also complained of similar lesions on his earlobe which spontaneously disappeared. No other significant history could be elicited and he did not have similar lesions elsewhere. What is your diagnosis?
