The dermatological canvas, often considered the storyteller of human health, is imbued with narratives that intertwine with the very essence of the natural world. A mesmerizing facet of this narrative is found in "animals eponyms" -- enigmatic skin conditions christened after animals whose traits mimic the intricate nuances of these dermatological tales. Delving into this realm unveils a tapestry where medicine and nature dance in synchrony, encapsulating both the artistry and science of dermatology. Animals eponyms offer a unique bridge between dermatology and the natural world. They serve as memorable tools for recognizing and diagnosing dermatological conditions while embodying the fascinating connection between humans and the animal kingdom. By examining these eponyms, dermatologists gain a deeper understanding of the intricate relationship between medicine and nature, ultimately enhancing patient care through enhanced diagnostic acumen.

Background: Chronic ulcers are defined as the breakdown of the epidermal and dermal tissue lasting for more than 6 weeks. There will be a lack of necessary growth factors in chronic non-healing ulcers. This study is aimed at accessing the efficacy of autologous platelet-rich fibrin in chronic non-healing ulcers. Aims and Objectives: To determine the efficacy of autologous platelet-rich fibrin in chronic non-healing ulcers and to compare the rate of healing in different ulcers based on aetiology. Methods: A hospital-based prospective study was conducted at the Department of Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprosy, at a tertiary care centre in Central Karnataka with 50 cases of chronic non-healing ulcers over 2 years. In each case baseline data including age and gender was collected and thorough general physical, local, and systemic examinations were done with the help of a predesigned proforma. PRF dressing was done weekly for 4 weeks with ulcer volume measured each time and improvement accessed. Results: In this study, the mean age of the study population was 43.56 ± 14.06 years, with 84% males. Good improvement in the volume of the ulcer was seen in 6 patients out of 50, moderate improvement was seen in 20 out of 50 patients and mild in the rest of the 24 patients. Improvement was more in the educated sector, more so in females and patients with trauma as the cause of ulcers without any comorbidities. Leprosy followed by diabetes was the main cause of chronic non-healing ulcers. Conclusions: This study shows that autologous platelet-rich fibrin therapy provides faster wound healing in chronic non-healing ulcers with no adverse events. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article describes the case of a 42-year-old male with disseminated discoid lupus eythematosus leading to squamous cell carcinoma. The patient developed signs such as erythematous plaques over the face, ears, scalp, trunk, back and extensor aspect of the forearms. He also showed an increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), positive rheumatoid factor and positive antinuclear antibodies (ANA).
