In 1993, the General Medical Council recommended that all medical schools should revise their curricula for undergraduate medical education and foster more interdisciplinary collaboration in teaching. In accordance with these recommendations, new curricula have been introduced in U.K. medical schools. ⋯ In general, dermatology has maintained a reasonable profile in the new undergraduate curricula, but dermatology experience is inadequate in four schools. Dermatologists should maximize opportunities for introducing dermatology into the curriculum by familiarizing themselves with the forces that are driving curriculum reform, participating in curriculum development, keeping abreast of changes in medical education and using opportunities for interdisciplinary teaching.

Review
Cutaneous larva migrans with folliculitis: report of seven cases and review of the literature.
Seven patients (four men, three women, mean age 31 years), all returning from the tropics, presented with pruritic folliculitis and creeping eruption. The folliculitis consisted of 20-100 follicular papules and pustules confined to a particular area of the body, mainly the buttocks. ⋯ Folliculitis should be added to the dermatological manifestations of cutaneous larva migrans. Treatment is more difficult than in classical forms of cutaneous larva migrans.
