Request for images -- Erythema toxicum neonatorum

Hello Dermatology Task Force! I am a student participating in a WikiEdu class and have been updating the erythema toxicum neonatorum page. If anyone has an open source image they would be willing to add to the page, it would be a huge help. I can't find any good quality, open source images online, and I think a photo would add a lot to the article. Thanks!! FutureMD-SR (talk) 21:07, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Contact urticaria is not contact dermatitis

There is a redirect from contact urticaria to contact dermatitis, but these are not the same thing. Contact urticaria should redirect to hives.

"Contact urticaria is an immediate but transient localised swelling and redness that occurs on the skin after direct contact with an offending substance. Contact urticaria should be distinguished from contact dermatitis where a dermatitis reaction develops hours to days after contact with the offending agent."

There was no response to my comment, so I have changed the redirect myself.

Prurigo articles

Hello.

I was looking up information for prurigo and found the prurigo article is *basically* a disambiguation page. I deleted a link to a talk page for chronic prurigo (Talk:Chronic prurigo) masquerading as a link to a proper article while the actual article for chronic prurigo is a redirect to that initial prurigo article. I was a little lost because I'm not a dermatologist and the information in those articles are a little old. I do definitely have the feeling that a Talk page shouldn't be used as a main article page though. So I decided I would ask here because this WikiProject seems the most appropriate to deal with the whole mess. Should the prurigo article be remodeled as a proper disambiguation page or should it just be expanded? Should the chronic prurigo article be expanded or remain as a redirect to the prurigo article? Could someone here take it under their wing (or just tell me what to do so I can do it)?

Thanks!
