Abstract

Stunting is one of the most common health problems in the world and is ranked fifth in Indonesia. Stunting, which is still high in Solok Regency, is one of the problems in West Sumatra Province. To reduce stunting, the Venereology Dermatology Service Team conducted counselling to health extension workers and cadres of the Family Welfare Movement (PKK) regarding malnutrition, parenting, sanitation, and infectious and non-infectious skin diseases. This service aimed to carry out outreach activities to increase understanding of the acceleration of stunting reduction. The implementation method was outreach to 64 health workers and PKK cadres. Advocacy was also carried out at the Kominfo service and the Solok District Health Office. The results obtained before the socialization activity revealed that 61% of respondent’s knowledge was still low, whereas 66% increased after the activity. Respondent behaviour was obtained by 92% of respondents who had behaved well; after the activity was obtained, it became 98%. The excellent attitude of respondents toward preventing stunting before being given counselling was 73%, increasing to 91% after counselling. Skin disorders in pregnant women associated with giving birth to stunted children include eczema (51%) and skin disorders in stunted children, namely scabies (49%).

Abstract

Background: Urticaria pigmentosa (UP) is the most common form of cutaneous mastocytosis in children, accounting for 70-90% of cases. UP typically presents in infancy or early childhood with characteristic skin lesions that vary in appearance. The hallmark of UP is the presence of reddish-brown macules or papules that urticate or blister upon rubbing, a phenomenon known as Darier's sign. Histopathological examination of a skin biopsy is confirmatory, demonstrating an increased number of mast cells in the dermis. Case presentation: We report a case of early-onset UP in a 7-month-old infant boy who presented with multiple hyperpigmented macules all over his body. The lesions were pruritic and had progressively increased in size and number over the past two weeks. Dermatological examination revealed multiple erythematous macules on the face, hyperpigmented macules on the chest, abdomen, and extremities, hyperpigmented plaques on the legs, and a nodule on the back. The lesions exhibited a positive Darier's sign, characterized by swelling and redness upon rubbing. Systemic examination was unremarkable, with no evidence of hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, or lymphadenopathy. Dermoscopy of the lesions revealed a central pigment network and a light brownish peripheral structure, suggestive of UP. Histopathological examination of a skin biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of UP, demonstrating an increased number of mast cells in the dermis. The patient was treated with oral antihistamines (cetirizine) and topical corticosteroids (hydrocortisone) for four weeks, resulting in significant regression of the lesions. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of recognizing the clinical features of UP in infants. Early diagnosis and appropriate management can help alleviate symptoms and improve the quality of life for affected children.
