TLDR The skin condition Ulerythema ophryogenes did not improve with treatment in a patient with other birth defects.
The paper discussed a case of ulerythema ophryogenes, a rare dermatologic disorder characterized by inflammatory keratotic facial papules leading to scars, atrophy, and alopecia, which was associated with multiple congenital anomalies. The patient exhibited unusual facial features, developmental delay, central nervous system abnormalities, dental anomalies, and undescended testes. The cutaneous lesions did not respond to treatments including topical keratolytics, topical tretinoin, or a short course of oral isotretinoin.
