Summary
Senear-usher syndrome, a rare autoimmune blistering disease, presents with crusty lesions in seborrheic areas. Early diagnosis and treatment with prednisolone are crucial for managing this condition.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Autoimmune Diseases
Background:
- Pemphigus encompasses autoimmune diseases causing skin and mucous membrane blisters.
- Seborrheic pemphigus, or Senear-usher syndrome, is a rare subtype characterized by broken blisters and crusts in seborrheic areas.
Observation:
- A 40-year-old female presented with a 45-day history of pruritic, painful, thick, scabby lesions on an erythematous base.
- Lesions were primarily on the face, with secondary spread to the trunk and extremities.
Findings:
- Histopathological examination confirmed seborrheic pemphigus.
- Treatment with prednisolone resulted in a favorable clinical evolution.
Implications:
- Senear-usher syndrome is a rare condition with multifactorial origins.
- Prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment are vital to prevent disease progression and advanced manifestations.

2.0K
A sebaceous gland is a type of oil gland found almost all over the skin ( except palms and soles) and helps lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair. Most sebaceous glands are associated with hair follicles. They generate and excrete sebum, a mixture of lipids, onto the skin surface, thereby naturally lubricating the dry and dead layer of keratinized cells of the stratum corneum, keeping it pliable.
These glands that produce the oils on the skin and hair are holocrine glands. The mature...

Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
