Background/Objectives: Curbside consultations are common in pediatric dermatology. There are both associated risks and benefits. Email, text messaging, and cell phone cameras have greatly facilitated this practice. We sought to characterize the nature of this practice among pediatric dermatologists and highlight concerns. Methods: A 21‐question anonymous survey was sent to the 486 active members of the Society for Pediatric Dermatology. Results: There were 156 responses (32%). Over 45% of respondents received at least six consults per week. About half (49%) spent 6 minutes or more per case. Almost none of these consultations (3%) were compensated or captured in work relative value units. Most (87%) did not document or have a practice or institutional policy in place to address these consultations. A similar majority (80%) were uncertain if their existing liability insurance covered these activities. Over three‐quarters (76%) of respondents did not think or were unsure that Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act concerns were appropriately addressed. Conclusions: Curbside consultations in pediatric dermatology are common. They increase access, promote collegiality, and can be used for educational gain. They are also generally not compensated, consume considerable time, risk liability exposure for providers, and potentially compromise patient confidentiality. Effort should be made to standardize this practice so that the benefits are not outweighed by risks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis ( EPF) is a rare cutaneous disorder that typically occurs in three clinical contexts: men, individuals who are immunosuppressed or have human immunodeficiency virus, and infants. A fourth subtype occurring 2 to 3 months after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation ( HSCT) has recently been described in several adults. We report two cases of EPF arising in children after HSCT. It is important to recognize this form of EPF after HSCT and differentiate it from graft-versus-host disease since it responds readily to topical steroids and appears to have an excellent prognosis.

Trichodysplasia spinulosa ( TS) is an uncommon skin disease characterized by a folliculocentric papular eruption and keratin spine formation, classically appearing on the central face and ears. It occurs in immunosuppressed patients and is linked to a viral etiology. Diagnostic tests including polymerase chain reaction ( PCR) are available for detection of the TS-associated polyomavirus. Effective treatment options include topical cidofovir and oral valganciclovir. We present a case diagnosed using PCR with skin scrapings and treated using physical extraction of the keratin spicules. Significant improvement was noted, suggesting a safe, cost-effective treatment alternative. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

SKIN inflammation ,PHYSICAL abuse ,CROSS-sectional method ,ABUSED children - Abstract
Incorrect diagnoses during child abuse evaluations are serious. Because skin lesions are common in abuse, it is important to consider cutaneous mimics of physical abuse. The current study prospectively identified cutaneous mimics in a cohort of children evaluated for possible physical abuse. This is a secondary analysis of data from the Examining Siblings To Recognize Abuse research network's prospective, observational, cross-sectional study involving 20 U.S. child abuse teams. Subjects were younger than 10 years old and were evaluated by child abuse physicians ( CAPs) for concerns of physical abuse. CAPs prospectively documented whether mimics were identified during their physical abuse evaluations. Details of each patient with cutaneous mimics were evaluated to determine the types of mimics, which part of the evaluations identified mimics, and the perceived abuse likelihood. Of 2,890 children evaluated for physical abuse, 137 had at least one mimic identified and 69 had some cutaneous mimic components. Although 985 of 2,753 (39%) subjects without mimics had high levels of abuse concern, only 9 of 137 (6%) children with mimics had high levels of abuse concern (p < 0.001). Of 69 children with cutaneous mimics, 56 (81%) were diagnosed by history and physical examination. Cutaneous abuse mimics were identified in 2.4% of children evaluated for physical abuse. Although it was eventually determined that there was little or no concern for abuse in 84% of children with cutaneous mimics, a small number were physically abused. CAP evaluation may be valuable in recognizing children with cutaneous mimics who also were abused. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Infantile hemangiomas ( IH) are benign tumors of endothelial-like cells. Occurring in 4.5% of children, they are the most common tumor of childhood. The great majority of patients with IH will not need treatment, but 10% require systemic treatment. Many treatments have been described for the treatment of IH, but the Food and Drug Administration has not approved any. Over the last decade, numerous reports of successful treatment of IH with propranolol have been published. Despite its widespread use, little is known regarding the proper dosing, safety monitoring, and during of treatment or long-term outcomes for propranolol treatment of IH. Given its potential side effects, detailed education regarding proper administration of the medication as well as warning signs to watch for is necessary for parents and caretakers. Herein, we provide a parental handout that practitioners can individually tailor for use in their clinics when educating parents and caretakers about the use of propranolol for IH. Updates will also need to be made as more is learned regarding the optimal dosing and safety monitoring when using propranolol for this indication. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Objectives. To outline a safe, standardized protocol for outpatient initiation of propranolol therapy for infantile hemangiomas.Study Design. Retrospective review.Setting. Academic tertiary care pediatric hospital.Subjects and Methods. Forty-nine infantile hemangioma patients were offered propranolol therapy and included in the study. Any patients requiring hospital admission were excluded. Screening consisted of cardiology evaluation, including electrocardiography and, when indicated, echocardiography. Target initiation dose was 2 to 3 mg/kg/d divided into 3 doses. Blood pressure and heart rate were initially monitored at baseline and 1 and 2 hours in clinic following initial dosing. A 3-hour time point was later added. Families received standardized instructions regarding home heart rate monitoring, side effects, and fasting.Results. Outpatient propranolol therapy was safely initiated in 39 of 44 patients (89%). Five patients required brief admission: 1 with clinical signs/symptoms of heart failure, 3 having airway involvement, and 1 for social reasons. Propranolol administration transiently reduced blood pressure; the maximal decrease occurred at 2 hours, prompting addition of a 3-hour time point to ensure recovery. No patients exhibited symptomatic hypotension, bradycardia, or heart failure.Conclusions. In most children with infantile hemangiomas, propranolol therapy can be safely initiated as an outpatient. Careful cardiovascular evaluation by an experienced clinician is essential for pretreatment evaluation, inpatient admission (when necessary), blood pressure and heart rate monitoring following initial dosing, and parent education. This standardized multidisciplinary outpatient initiation plan reduces the cost of initiating therapy compared with inpatient strategies while still providing appropriate monitoring for potential treatment complications. Further evaluation of propranolol therapy efficacy at the current dosing and duration of treatment continues. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

LEFLUNOMIDE ,SKIN inflammation ,JUVENILE idiopathic arthritis ,DYSTROPHY ,BIOPSY ,NAIL diseases - Abstract
We present the case of a 12-year-old-girl who developed lichenoid dermatitis approximately 1 year after starting leflunomide for juvenile idiopathic arthritis. The eruption resolved promptly with discontinuation of the suspected culprit agent, supportive of a lichenoid drug eruption, but she subsequently developed markedly dystrophic nails with lichen planus-like features. A biopsy of her cutaneous findings at the time of initial presentation demonstrated lichenoid dermatitis, and a nail matrix biopsy was deferred given clinical correlation. Prominent nail changes in lichenoid drug eruptions, particularly in children, are rare but should be considered in children with new-onset nail dystrophy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Classic viral exanthems, such as measles, rubella, and Fifth disease, have great historical significance and, despite vaccine successes, still occur both in the United States and across the world. Because they are either less commonly seen (e.g., measles) or recognized by pediatricians (e.g., Fifth disease), viral exanthems that present to dermatology clinics are often "atypical" and may cause diagnostic confusion. This article will first review a general approach to the patient with a possible viral exanthem, discuss several current issues germane to "classic" exanthems, and delve into greater detail regarding atypical presentations., (© 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.)

- Abstract
Atopic dermatitis is an extremely common childhood skin disease that can have far-reaching impact on patients and families. Pediatric patients, particularly infants, pose special concerns for parents and providers, and equal emphasis must be placed on both nonpharmacologic and prescription interventions. Concerns for adverse effects of prescription therapies and a universal parental fear of an undetected allergy are hallmarks of pediatric atopic dermatitis care. The purpose of the present study is to highlight important educational and therapeutic strategies designed to optimally care for this patient population.
