These are usually self-limited and treatment unnecessary; however, in severe cases, including those with a protracted course or in persons who are immunocompromised, destructive treatments can be used.
What are warts?
200
This is the most common form of panniculitis. It is associated with sarcoidosis, streptococcal infection, IBD and more. Therapy is supportive and includes the use of NSAIDs and compression stockings
What is Erythema nodosum?

A common condition characterized by greasy, yellow, scaly, erythematous patches in seborrheic areas (scalp, face, ears, upper chest, axillae, and inguinal folds
What is Seborrheic Dermatitis?
300
A spectrum of severe mucocutaneous reactions that are the most severe and deadly of the cutaneous adverse drug reactions. Key features include full-thickness epidermal necrosis with involvement of mucous membranes. Symptoms begin within 1 to 3 weeks of exposure to the inciting agent. 
What is Steven-Johnson Syndrome/Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis?
SJS refers to patients with less than 10% BSA affected, and TEN refers to those with greater than 30% BSA affected. The term SJS/TEN overlap refers to patients with 10% to 30% BSA affected.
300
This is an inflammatory skin disorder of the apocrine glands that affects the intertriginous areas, such as the axillae, groin, and underneath the breasts; clinical findings include comedones, painful nodules, abscesses, draining sinuses, and scarring.
What is Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS)?
300
This presents with skin fragility and bullae or erosions on sun-exposed areas, most frequently the dorsal hands. Treatment includes treating the underlying condition and phlebotomy; twice-weekly hydroxychloroquine is an effective alternative to phlebotomy.
What is Porphyria Cutanea Tarda?
300
This is caused by a poxvirus. Papules can be located anywhere on the skin, but in adults the genital area is typically involved. Transmission is by direct contact or by fomites.
What is Molluscum Contagiosum?
300
These can display one or more of the identifying characteristics of melanoma; patients with multiple dysplastic nevi are at increased risk for melanoma and should be monitored closely.
What are Dysplastic nevi?

What is Drug-Induced Hypersensitivity Syndrome (DRESS Syndrome)?
Drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS) and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) are synonymous. DRESS is increasingly being referred to as DIHS to emphasize the fact that eosinophilia is not always present.
