On the back of the hand, and adjacent to the vesicles, are several small irregular excoriations. Pemphigus vulgaris. 2. The back of a right arm and upper part of the forearm almost completely covered with, large, circular or crescentic, somewhat opaque bullae, with considerable hyperaemia of the adjacent skin. II. ix. 6. Pemphigus pruriginosus. 40. The portrait shows upon the left upper extremity of an old woman vesicles and bullae, several small ulcers of irregular shape, numerous small longitudinal ecchymoses evidently produced by scratching, and much irregularly disposed hypersemia and thickening of the skin. II. ix. 5. Relapsing Pemphigus. 41. The portrait shows the right hand and left foot; upon the middle finger is a fairly recent bulla, circular in shape and well-defined in outline, with yellowish contents ; upon the ring-finger is an area of hypersemia; upon the index and dorsum of the foot are thick circular scabs, the dried suppurated contents of previous bullae; upon the lower part of the leg is a similar dried-up bulla with less crust. Sq. Pemphigus foliaceus. 42. The portrait shows the left side of the face and neck with the chest and shoulders of a woman, whose skin is everywhere covered with large, irregular, yellowish-green semi-detached flakes composed of thickened epidermis and dried exudation. Areas of red liypersemic coriurn are in several places exposed by the detachment of these scales. II. ix. 8. Psoariasis. 43. The chest and left upper extremity of a girl, exhibiting ringed patches varying in size from a pea to a half-crown, for the most part somewhat circular in shape, of hypersemic and infiltrated skin, with slight scaling. ][ ^ 5
