Conclusion: Adherence to acne treatment was low in over half of the patients. In our context, the presence of relapse, a psychological history, the number of previous treatments above two, and the duration of treatment above three months were associated with low adherence to therapy.

Conclusion:Red gums are a common manifestation of chronic orodental conditions, yet could be part of systemic diseases and oral manifestations of primary cutaneous diseases. The current study highlighted that pemphigus vulgaris and lichen planus may initially and/or primarily present themselves as red gums, possibly delaying the proper diagnosis for months or even years. Hence, dermatologists and oral physicians should be aware of this clinical finding.

Conclusion: The rampant use of TCs by patients for a prolonged period of time leads to a variety of side effects. Due to the topographical location, the climate of the valley, and the lighter skin type of the local population, the indications for which TCs were employed in our study group and the side effect profile were unique from the rest of the country. Dermoscopy may play a vital role in improving the diagnostic accuracy of TSDF and help us to differentiate it from close mimics.

Conclusion: Screening for co-morbid health conditions is paramount in patients with bullous pemphigoid for an optimal outcome since treatment options have an impact on the control of comorbidities and vice versa. It should be a multidisciplinary approach for optimal management and the improvement of the quality of life, thus reducing the number of hospital visits and medications to reduce the economic burden and morbidity, hence improving the quality of life.

Conclusion: This study showed that life-threatening dermatoses are not uncommon. Among these conditions, autoimmune bullous dermatoses and severe toxidermia, such as TEN and DRESS syndrome, were found to be the most lethal. An advanced age, a surface area of skin involvement, mucosal involvement, associated comorbidities, and the development of sepsis may be considered poor prognostic factors.

Conclusion: This study demonstrates the frequency of connectivitis in the dermatology department. Its particularity was the predominance of systemic scleroderma over lupus which was classically the first connectivite in dermatology services. The delay in diagnosis noted is correlated with visceral attacks; hence the importance of a better knowledge of these affections for an early management.

Conclusion: Preliminary conclusions from the research conducted show that by improving compliance physicians may also improve the outcome of treatment. Employing simple measures that can improve compliance can reduce the need for further treatments or the need for introducing more aggressive meds. Physician patient relationship should be therefore focused on mutual understanding and physicians should try to convince their patients that adherence to treatment plays equally important role as being prescribed correct meds.
