Over the angle of the jaw a patch of lupus vulgaris,beginning as a group of nodules, had spread and ulcerated, and atthe time the photograph was taken the ulcer was covered with athick crust. The fourth illustration resembles in outline the case of serpiginouslupus shown in Plate XLVII. But in the case of this patient, theslowly extending patch, instead of being nodular at the border (as isusual in lupus), shows a continuous line or ridge of waxy infiltration,quite characteristic of epithelioma. This is particularly well shownbeneath the ear. PLATE Copyright, 1905, by (; II. Fox. VULGARIS. PLATE SYCOSIS Sycosis, a disease peculiar to adult males, is the result of aninflammatory process in and around the hair follicles. Deep suppu-ration usually occurs and the pus reaches the surface of the skinbetween the hair and the follicular wall. The characteristic lesionthus formed consists of a pustule in the centre of which is aloosened hair. The disease usually attacks the bearded portion ofthe face, although other hairy parts are sometimes affefied. It differsfrom eczema in causing a loosening of the hair, and in not ex-tending from the bearded portion of the face upon adjacent regionswhich are not hairy. It is always non-parasitic, and the diseasewhich is sometimes called sycosis parasitic
