Achne
Atlas of Diseases of the Skin,
including an epitome of pathology and treatment
Franz Mraček
1899
"M.A., aged 17 years, somewhat pale, had suffered for several years from continued outbreaks of papules and pustules on the face, neck, shoulders, and back, having their seat in the sebaceous glands and ducts. The lesions vary in size from a pinhead to a lentil, the larger lesions showing in the central part purulent contents."

Cutaneous horns-
A Practical Treatise On Diseases Of The Skin
By John Vietch Shoemaker
1890
"Horny outgrowths, which resemble very much in appearance the horns of the lower animals are occasionally developed upon the human skin. The shape and size of these excrescences vary; they may be straight or curved, but are usually twisted in various directions, sometimes assuming the appearance of a ram's horn...in other cases they are cylindrical, conical, or flattened in appearance. The free end may be pointed, but it is generally blunt or split up. The growth outside is solid and hard, but within it may be soft and crumbling. The surface is dry, wrinkled, and fissured. In color, horns are generally grayish, but they sometimes vary from a light yellow to a dark yellow, brown, or even black. In size they are generally small, but they may grow from one to many lines in length and thickness...They may appear on any part of the body, but are observed most frequently about the head, particularly on the face and scalp. Their next most common location is the genitals."

Vegetable Parasite Disease, Tinea Favosa, or Favus, or the Honeycomb ringworm, a disease that is caused by the Achorion Scholeinii, begins with itching and redness of the skin, and with a furfuraceous desquamation of the cuticle. At the same time the hair loses its polish, and becomes more or less brittle.
Soon small, isolated dry yellowish crusts not larger than a pin's head make their appearance; these, as they extend at their circumference and increase in thickness, become depressed at their centre; very often a hair passes through the middle of the depression. These sulphur-yellow "favus cups" are pretty numerous, and are commonly surrounded by an areola of inflamed skin. Their size does not usually exceed that of a split pea.
The head of a person affected with Favus exhales a peculiar foetid odour, which has been variously likened to that of mice, of animal tissues undergoing maceration, or of the urine of cats.
- from A Manual Of The Diseases Of The Skin, Alexander Balmanno Squire, 1865.
