'Fiddler's neck'.

'Fiddler's neck' is a condition affecting violin and viola players. Although well known to musicians it is not well recognized by dermatologists. Clinically the lesions usually consist of a localized area of lichenification of the left side of the neck--just below the angle of the jaw. Pigmentation, erythema and inflammatory papules or pustules are frequently present, while severe inflammatory induration, cyst formation and scarring occur in more severely affected subjects. The aetiology of the skin changes is probably due to a combination of factors; friction giving rise to lichenification, while local pressure, shearing stress and occlusion may play a part in producing the acne-like changes and cyst formation. In addition, poor hygiene may predispose to local sepsis.

Collagen sponge for leg ulcers.

Collagen sponge, reconstituted from bovine tendon, provides a porous matrix for the permeation of fibroblasts and capillaries and on theoretical grounds it should be ideal for stimulating granulation tissue in deep leg ulcers. A preliminary study in six patients has suggested that a collagen sponge dressin enhanced granulation, but subsequent re-epithelialization over the reconstituted collagen tended to be slower than usual.

Coolant oil dermatitis due to ethylenediamine.

Two outbreaks of hand dermatitis in light engineering works are reported. In both cases a number of workers shown to be allergic to soluble coolant oils were found to be allergic to ethylenediamine, which had either been incorporated into the oil or had been added to it later.

The treatment of psoriatic nail dystrophy with intradermal steroid injections.

Thirty-seven patients with psoriatic nail dystrophy were treated with intradermal nail-fold injections of either triamcinolone acetonide or triamcinolone hexacetonide, using the Port-O-Jet needleless injector. Mild nail-matrix changes showed a very good response to treatment, whilst nail-bed and/or hyponychial changes causing onycholysis and the more severe types of dystrophy usually showed little improvement. Although in occasional cases this may be a useful form of treatment, we would not recommend its general use in patients with psoriatic nail dystrophy.

Contact dermatitis due to Nyloprint.

The Nyloprint process is becoming more frequently used in Great Britain. We report a case of contact dermatitis in a 60-year-old man who was employed in the production of Nyloprint formes. The process is described in detail. Patch tests showed him to be very sensitive to an acrylamide derivative, which is used as a monomer in this process.
