Abstract

In the past decades, new clinical or etiopathogenic forms were described in our environment according to the case of skin conditions, three of an infectious nature and another of an irritative-allergic nature.
The main objective of this communication is to remember the original publications of each of them, exposing their evolution over time, in particular their confirmation by national or international authors and especially the enriching scientific contributions of their knowledge, revealed by the corresponding bibliographical research.
The objective mentioned is, we believe fully justified, for the need to refresh the memory of these pathologies in our academic, medical environment in particular, because they are low frequency entities that could very well go unnoticed or confused with conditions of different nature.
