Anetoderma or macular atrophy is a rare skin condition of unclear pathogenesis, often associated with autoimmune diseases and skin damage from various infections. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), syphilis, and poxviruses have been implicated in the development of anetoderma. A 37-year-old male patient with HIV and recent unprotected sexual encounters presented with more than 400 skin lesions, consistent with Mpox. Symptomatic treatment for Mpox resulted in acute symptom resolution. However, 8 months later he developed papular anetoderma lesions in areas previously affected by Mpox. Biopsy confirmed the loss of elastic fibers in the affected skin areas, leading to the diagnosis of Mpox-induced anetoderma. This report presents a unique case of anetoderma following Mpox in an HIV-positive patient.

Syphilitic balanitis of Follmann (FB) is a rarely described manifestation of primary syphilis that was first reported in 1948. Its clinical appearance may be heterogeneous varying from painful edematous balanoposthitis to superficial erosive balanitis and asymptomatic glans induration. We described a patient presenting with FB, as manifestation of primary syphilis, and concurrent anetoderma, as manifestation of secondary syphilis. The association of these lesions was never described to date.

BACKGROUND
Infantile hemangioma (IH) often causes cosmetic disfigurement. Early intervention with propranolol for large, high-risk lesions is recommended in the American Academy of Pediatrics' Clinical Practice Guideline. Conversely, strategies for the management of small, low-risk lesions have not been established; however, pulsed dye laser (PDL) is often used to treat these lesions.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate clinical outcomes of PDL in small IH lesions.
PATIENTS AND METHODS
Fifty-three cases with 58 small IHs which did not meet the criteria for high-risk lesions in the guideline and were treated only with PDL were retrospectively reviewed. The characteristics of IHs and residual skin changes after treatment were evaluated.
RESULTS
Forty-seven lesions (81.0%) were superficial hemangiomas, whereas 11 (19.0%) were combined-type. The median maximum diameter was 10.0 mm. Forty-five lesions (77.6%) exhibited various residual skin changes after PDL treatment, including anetoderma (53.5%), telangiectasia and erythema (43.1%), hyperpigmentation (34.5%), redundant skin (3.4%), and fibrofatty tissue (3.4%). Of these, the incidence of anetoderma and fibrofatty tissue were significantly higher in the combined group than in the superficial group ( p = .036 and .033, respectively).
CONCLUSION
Even small lesions, especially combined-type, often result in cosmetic problems after PDL treatment.
