Historically, tattoos have been used for therapeutic practices and as signs of social status in primitive cultures. In this study, we sought to develop a greater understanding of the reasons individuals choose to get tattoos. Three hundred sixty-three patients with at least 1 tattoo from among our clinic patients volunteered to complete an 18-question, multiple-choice survey. Questions focused on level of education, family background, and reason for getting a tattoo, among other factors.

Conjunctival papillomas are some of the most common tumors of the conjunctiva and are well-described in ophthalmology textbooks. However, they have not be well-recognized by the dermatologic community. These lesions may be encountered by the dermatologist during a full skin examination or they may be the presenting concern of a patient.

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor class of agents have been reported to cause multiple cutaneous adverse events. These drug eruptions are thought by some to indicate a good prognosis. The authors report of a case of a psoriasiform scalp eruption simultaneously occurring with an acneiform or follicular rash in a single patient. To present knowledge, this is the first report of a psoriasiform eruption triggered by erlotinib. In addition, this case report demonstrates 2 completely distinct cutaneous morphologies occurring simultaneously with erlotinib therapy in a single patient.
