ABSTRACT
Summary@#Dilated pore of Winer is a benign adnexal tumour of follicular differentiation. It has typical clinical feature of asymptomatic, solitary enlarged pore with a keratin plug. Dermoscopy offers further assistance in diagnosis. In this case on dermoscopy, well defined lamellated central blackish area arranged in concentric circles, surrounded by a bluish grey halo was seen with a rim of hyperpigmentation.

@#Keloid scars have always been a therapeutic challenge. Lasers due to their versatile action are being tried in the management of hypertrophic scars and keloid. Use of Nd:YAG laser especially in dark skin types is justifiable but sufficient data is not available.
ABSTRACT
@#Nocardia species are gram-positive, aerobic, acid-fast bacteria which exist as saprophytes in nature. Invasive disseminated infections are particularly common in immunocompromised or debilitated hosts. Superficial infections with Nocardia species occur as a result of local trauma and contamination of the wound. Clinically, it may manifest as an acute infection (abscesses or cellulitis), mycetoma, or sporotrichoid infection. Herein we report a rare case of cutaneous nocardiosis following surgery mimicking a hypertrophic scar.
