Morphological variants are Chronic stable plaque psoriasis, guttate psoriasis, pustular psoriasis, erythrodermic psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis [2] . Based on location they are classified into scalp psoriasis, palmoplantar psoriasis, inverse psoriasis and nail psoriasis. Out of the different clinical presentations of psoriasis, psoriasis vulgaris is the commonest variant, which is also known as chronic stable plaque psoriasis. The most characteristic lesions consist of red, scaly, sharply demarcated, indurated plaques present particularly over the extensor surfaces and scalp. The disease is enormously variable in duration, with periodicity of flares and extent [2] .

It has also been proposed for the woman with urge and stress urinary incontinence. CO2 stimulates collagen/elastin contraction, neocollagenesis, and neovascularization. Aim To study the efficacy of CO2 laser in the improvement of VVA, stress urinary incontinence, urge incontinence and sexual functioning. Materials and Methods Twenty-six patients who were in the menopausal transition to post-menopausal age group who presented with any one of the above-mentioned complaints were enrolled in our study. Prior to the treatment, a vaginal examination was performed to ensure patients’ eligibility for the treatment and to determine the vaginal health index score (VHIS), subjective evaluation of VVA symptoms was provided using the visual analog scale (VAS) and the vaginal tight...

In this case report, a 44-year-old male patient previously treated for Hansen's disease presented with non-healing plantar ulcer, who developed squamous cell carcinoma with metastasis in the lymph nodes. We highlight the importance of having a high degree of suspicion in each case as our patient was asymptomatic and repeated biopsies and lymph node Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) were required to diagnosis.
