58yom was unaware of this lesion on his back. I found it during routine examination. About 9.5 mm in diameter. Since he leaves for his home country the day after being seen, there was no opportunity for biopsy. Would you just follow up, arrange for biopsy, freeze or something else? I expect to see again in about one year.

Patient used beclomethasone, but stopped and went back to over the counter hydrocortisone because she stated the high dose steroid made the rash hurt.

This is a 60 year old male with a past medical history of keloid scar over 5 years. He has been to several dermatologists who has given him corticosteroids but ineffective. He has biopsy done previously but I can’t see the records as he’s a new patient to me. I gave him mupirocin as he had some yellow crusting which is gone today. However, he reports persistent symptoms as seen in the images. What do you guys think? I’m referring him to another colleague for punch biopsy. What can I prescribe to help with his excoriation? I gave him cymbalta as he was reporting burning pain.
