Figure 1:

Lesions before discontinuation of hydroxyurea. (a and b) Numerous ulcers with well-defined borders located on the dorsum of the fingers can be seen. Also, appreciate the reddish hue on the back of the interphalangeal and metacarpophalangeal joints, creating a “pseudo-Gottron” pattern, like dermatomyositis. Nail brittleness and melanonychia are seen, features that are also widely described in urea toxicity. In (c), a dermatoscopic detail of the lesions can be seen, showing ulcers with very well-defined borders, with a whitish halo surrounded by another more erythematous one on the outside. The appearance of the ulcer is crusty and dry. (d) Shows detail of involvement in the palmar aspect.

Lesions after discontinuation of hydroxyurea. One month after discontinuation of therapy, the patient showed a notable improvement in the lesions (a), in the case of smaller and clinically asymptomatic ulcers. In (b), improvement is also seen at the palmar level.
