White patches: Ap-ap? Tinea versicolor?

Commonly misdiagnosed as tinea versicolor or “ap-ap,” this patient’s condition turned out to be 𝙝𝙮𝙥𝙤𝙥𝙞𝙜𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙢𝙮𝙘𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙨 𝙛𝙪𝙣𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙨—a rare cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (cancer of a blood cell) that primarily affects the skin.

Because it can closely mimic benign conditions such as fungal infection or post-inflammatory hypopigmentation, accurate diagnosis requires a skin 𝙗𝙞𝙤𝙥𝙨𝙮, often with clinicopathologic correlation and immunohistochemistry.

Early recognition and biopsy are crucial to avoid delayed diagnosis and to ensure appropriate management by a board-certified dermatologist and dermatopathologist.

A rash is not always “just a rash.”

A young patient presented with widespread red plaques and was promptly referred to our clinic. What looked like psoriasis, a drug reaction, or a food allergy was confirmed by skin punch biopsy to be pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA).

🔬 Biopsy matters.
Accurate diagnosis leads to proper treatment—and prevents mismanagement.

🙌 Appreciate colleagues referring patients promptly.

An unassuming small wound—only few days later confirmed by biopsy to be skin cancer.

Early diagnosis made all the difference, leading to a better outcome.

As a dermatopathologist, I ensure accurate and timely diagnosis—providing clarity, guiding proper treatment, and relieving patients from anxiety.

Remove the guarantee letter and 51 billion MAIFIP - new pork barrel.
Same leaders. Same pork. No change at all. The Filipino people should not approve this massacre of the budget. Your taxes are wasted. 🇵🇭

Southeast Dermatology Specialists proudly unveils advancements in skin and hair innovations—bringing next-level, science-driven care to our patients.

These two devices are now available at Southeast Dermatology Iloilo:

1️⃣ Newest skin tightening machine: A non-invasive aesthetic device that uses dual-frequency monopolar radiofrequency (RF) energy—combined with cooling technology—to improve skin tightening, lifting, and overall skin quality.

Dual frequencies mean it can target superficial, mid, and deeper layers, potentially including deeper structural tissue—offering both tightening and lifting effects.

✨ For face and neck skin tightening and lifting without the pain; no topical anesthesia needed.

2️⃣ Skin and Hair Regeneration using patented photothermal activation system that uses controlled electromagnetic (light) and thermal (heat) energy to condition and boost your own biological materials — such as PRP or EXOSOMES — before they are injected back into the body for regenerative effects.

✨ For skin regeneration and hair regrowth, with better outcome. Exosomes derived from a patient’s own cells and enhanced using this activation technology. These are autologous, activated exosomes, not synthetic or donor-derived products.

From Marawi to Iloilo—

Our Integrated Molecular Dermatology Program reached a 26-day-old infant with suspected epidermolysis bullosa. We are deeply grateful to our nursing, pedia and derma colleagues, especially Dr. Chinchin Uy of Western Visayas, for the trust and partnership in caring for this patient.

Our team continues to reach patients with epidermolysis bullosa and other genodermatoses all over the Philippines, guided by the belief that no Filipino should be left behind—even in the face of rare diseases.
