This special issue of the Health science Journal has attracted three original articles and three interesting case reports. All of these contributions deserve a read by serious dermatologist or a trainee in dermatology. The Secretary General of Pan Arab League of Dermatologists, Dr. Omar Al-AlSheikh, shared with us a valuable commentary on dermatology as a science in the arab world. The original article Lichen Planus Pigmentosus Inversus adds a new collection of reported cases of this rare entity. Urticaria and its clinical patterns in Makkah, Saudi Arabia is another valuable original article. Interesting cases such as Lichen Striatus in an adult female, Proliferating Trichilemmal Tumor and Lichen Spinulosus with keratoderma are discussed in relation to the available medical literature. I hope you enjoy reading this issue.
