Scrofuloderma Miliary

Scrofulopactitis (scrofula, scrofula syphiloma, papillary papule) is a rare form of syphilis that occurs in women over the age of 30 and is called scrofuloid disease.

The incubation period of scrofulogiptosis lasts about three months, after which a small reddish, round-shaped compaction forms, consisting of clinical manifestations characteristic of the disease.

Upon visual inspection of the lesion, small rashes (up to 5-7 mm) are observed. When performing a dermoscopic examination, multiple small spider veins and white dots resembling nodules are visible on the surface of the lesions.

Since the pathological process affects the lymphatic system, and the localization of the pathology is usually noted on the face, there is a threat of developing phlegmon. For the convenience of the patient and the therapist, pathological zones pass in a short period and are periodically closed by lymphoreticular structures.

Pain is considered a common symptom of the disease, especially with hypothermia. At the stage of conservative treatment of wounds and injuries, the lesions acquire clear boundaries. Hyperpigmentation of the affected areas and enlarged subcutaneous lymph nodes are also noted.
