ABSTRACT
Tineabarbae is a rare form of dermatophytosis that affects hair follicles of the beard and moustache. Dermoscopy could prove useful to identify parasitism of hair of the beard, just as it has proven useful in the diagnosis of Tineacapitis. We present the first fully documented case series of T. barbae with clinical, dermoscopic and mycological features.

Chronic urticaria is a difficult-to-treat skin disorder that has a major impact on patient quality of life. The latest update of the European guideline on the management of urticaria was published in 2018. In this consensus statement, produced in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain, we describe a multidisciplinary approach for applying the new treatment algorithm proposed by the European guideline in our region.
