    TLDR Methotrexate effectively treated a 2-year-old's generalized pustular psoriasis without side effects.
    The document discussed several dermatological conditions in children, including a 2-year-old boy with generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) successfully treated with methotrexate, which led to a remarkable clearance of pustules and resolution of toxic symptoms without side effects. It also covered a 9-year-old girl with hypopigmented mycosis fungoides who achieved complete remission after UVA1 treatment, a rare case of alopecia areata in a 5-month-old infant highlighting its autoimmune nature and genetic predisposition, and geographic tongue in children with nonpustular psoriasis suggesting a potential link between the two conditions. Additionally, it described a rare case of Fox Fordyce disease in a 10-year-old girl, treated with 0.1% adapalene gel, noting the condition might be underdiagnosed in prepubertal girls.
