Cutaneous diseases are often found in obese patients but, to our knowledge, mucinous disorders have not been previously reported in association with obesity. Two cases of localized lichen myxoedematosus (papular mucinosis) in two women with morbid obesity are described. Both patients underwent a low-calorie diet for a 1-year period in one case, and for 4 months in the other one, as the only treatment. There was complete resolution of cutaneous lesions at the same time that an important weight loss was observed. Nevertheless, although spontaneous regression is not frequent, it could not be disregarded in either of these two cases.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to find out whether emotional stress is related to palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP). SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Our 21 patients with palmoplantar pustulosis and 21 age- and sex-matched controls were studied with the help of a psychological interview and two psychological tests: Eysenk's Personality Questionnaire for Adults (EPQ-A) and Inventory of Situations and Response of Anxiety (ISRA). RESULTS: Anxiety, ranging from moderate to severe was higher in PPP patients than in controls (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Our findings seem to indicate that stress may be related to exacerbation of the palmoplantar pustulosis.
