Abstract
Objective: To report a case of papulopustular rosacea with concomitant seborrheic dermatitis and discuss how signs and symptoms were ameliorated using a rational therapeutic approach. Design: Patient case report. Setting: Clinical practice. Participant: One male patient with rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis, and actinic keratoses. Measurements: Change in signs and symptoms over time. Results: Improved skin care practices and treatment with azelaic acid 15% gel twice daily in combination with low-dosage oral isotretinoin resulted in improvement in symptoms of both rosacea and seborrheic dermatitis. Conclusion: In patients with multiple skin disorders, use of medications with benefits for more than one of the skin conditions may, in some cases, reduce the overall number of medications needed, thus simplifying treatment.

Abstract
A 28-year-old veteran presented to the Wilford Hall dermatology clinic in San Antonio, Texas, with a six-month history of a rash that his primary care physician diagnosed as molluscum contagiosum. The rash consisted of clusters of 3 to 6mm yellowish papules with erythematous borders that concentrated on the extensor surfaces of his extremities, lower back, and buttocks. A biopsy determined that the patient had a case of eruptive xanthoma. Subsequent laboratory testing revealed that the patient had a type IV familial hyperlipidemia with a triglyceride count of 1718mg/dL. (J Clin Aesthet Dermatol. 2011;4(1):44–46.)
