45 year old female with complaints of recurrent itching and lesion over the hand and chest..consumed different medication from various dermatologist ..applied clobetasol..emoderm..haloderm and tablets like atarax and steroids..this lesion is mainly on exposed areas..it was initially seen 10years back but for 2years it's on & off..patient also complaints of joint pain..and decreased appetite. She also underwent radiation 10years back for thyroid tumour. Any newer treatment modality or ointments!? DIAGNOSIS
this case to looks like a case of mismanagement. I don't think it will be curable. do symptomatic treatment. investigate joint pains by excluding different kind of joint diseases. Carry out RAT, serum uric acid total protein and double strand DNA. I have only read about radio active iodine treatment for malignant thyroide condition. treat joint pain according to cause or symptomatically. no newer treatment I know of, make pt comfortable.

This case shows the importance of clinical examination and giving treatment only after proper diagnosis. The patient complained of itching since 1 year with lesions that keep recurring after stopping treatment. He was earlier treated for eczema. The patient first showed the legs and I was about to write the medication. But when I again saw the lesion something was not right, so I told him to remove his shirt and found this presentation. I was shocked at the presentation and was finally able to give a definite diagnosis and treatment. I want my friends and Curofians to have a look and give your opinions.
