Eruptions: Causes & Reasons

Possible Causes for Eruptions

When this question arises, we can presume that we have crossed the boundaries of "acneiform eruptions" of the face. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Acne variants and acneiform eruptions also exist, many of which have an identifiable and reversible etiology. [accessmedicine.mhmedical.com]

The results revealed that the number of acne eruptions decreased even though patients were applying make-up. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In rare situations, a bullous eruption known as pemphigus syphiliticus may develop. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In such cases, the disease presents with all the hallmarks of the primary dermatosis, but the eruption is limited to the field of irradiation and is often amenable to treatment [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Adult-Onset Still Disease

Therefore, biopsy of atypical eruptions in AOSD patients is recommended because it is likely that the highly distinctive histopathologic features will allow these eruptions [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
