Topics discussed include the molluscum sebaceum, hypertrophic and inflammatory changes in a sebaceous cyst, and epidermal hyperplasia. In addition, reference is made to the possibility to make correct diagnoses through biopsy specimen.

The article examines the research literature regarding the dermatological condition Pyogenic Granuloma, including the appearance of the lesion, pathology, and etiology. The difficult inherent in making a correct diagnosis of this condition is explained, especially regarding the high incidence of malignancy.

The article presents a report of four cases of pityriasis rubra pilaris. Topics discussed include suggestive psoriasis in some of the cases, tonsillitis, and erythrodermic forms.

The article discusses several aspects of leg ulcers. Topics discussed include probable causes of the condition, such as nervous lesions, nutrition disorders, thrombophlebitis, and lymphatic obstruction. In addition, reference is made to other causes including spina bifida, poliomyelitis, syphilis, diphtheria, and amebiasis.

The article presents a report on several cases of leg ulcers in workers. Topics discussed include the presence of thrombophlebitis, varicose ulcers, and arteriosclerotic ulcers.

The article discusses the pseudohypoparathyroidism disease. Topics discussed include some of the symptoms such as round facies, brachydactyly, obesity, short stature, stocky thick-set build, subcutaneous calcification, tetany, and convulsions.

A report on a survey conducted on the incidence and characteristics of the old age changes in the skin, and visible mucous membranes of the Australian male, is presented. Topics discussed include the incidence of solar keratosis, senile elastosis, alopecia, and hypothyroidism. In addition, reference is made to chronic solar damage, such as cutis rhomboidalis, and rodent carcinomas.

The article discusses several aspects of industrial dermatitis. Topics discussed include the eczema, allergic dermatitis, and the effects of irritant substances. In addition, reference is made to specific frictional dermatitis, caused by a friction by dust that collects under clothing moistened with sweat.

The article presents two case studies of lupus erythematosus. The first one was a young migrant that developed a small sore on his scrotum; he did not feel well, began to lose weight, suffered from lassitude and malaise, and light-sensitivity eruption.
