Summary
Generalized febrile pustular psoriasis (GFPP) classically presents as waves of wide- spread sheets of sterile pustules on brightly erythematous skin. This disease rarely occurs in childhood and only few cases have been reported. GFPP in childhood tends to undergo a more benign course. It may resolve spontaneously with only supportive treatment, but may sometimes be life threatening and resistant to therapy. Here is reported the case of a 13-year-old girl with GFPP treated with sequential therapy.

Microdermabrasion offers a safe, controlled method of skin exfoliation and allows superficial peeling of the stratum corneum ("the horney layer") reducing its thickness through mechanical abrasion of the dead skin cells. A flow of crystals are impinged directly onto the skin surface and the speed of the crystals together with their abrasive nature will gently remove the epidermal cells layer by layer. Used crystals and dead skin cells are removed by a gentle vacuum action which also stimulates a lifting effect on tired muscles.

It is usually identified by block pigmentation (rather than irregular freckling), appearing in a symmetrical/mirror image pattern on the face, much like a butterfly. It’s this unusual pattern that earns itself the nickname ‘the mask of pregnancy’. That being said, melasma can take up residence on other parts of your face, including the forehead, cheeks, upper lip and jawline.  Melasma Myth – You cannot treat melasma This is actually more complex than many of us realise, in short, you can treat melasma however we must learn to manage our expectations. This is due to a number of reasons, including: Location of melasma (dermal vs epidermal) Cause of melasma Treatment modality used  While we can physically treat the skin condition, it is unlikely that the pigment is completely and permanently removed.
