Skin Deep - A Dermatology Blog

Skin Deep is a blog created for dermatologists to allow free flow of information on topics and events relating to dermatology. Having comments on-line also has the advantage of allowing for further discussion and clarification if needed on various topics. However it is left to the reader to filter and judge the value of the comments. As the archives continue to accumulate, probably at some point they will become a useful reference for all.

Notalgia Paresthetica

This patient presented to me with this pigmented itchy patch over the right infra scapular region. He had a neurological disorder with paresthesia extending to right finger tips. There is a report of successful treatment of this condition with Botulinum Toxin Type A. [Arch Dermatol. 2007; 143(8):980-982.]
