These words may be listed horizontally, vertically, or diagonally in a total of 8 different possible directions. Some words may intersect. Answers are provided below. There is no time limit to do the puzzle. However, if you can solve this word search challenge in less than 10 minutes, then you are truly a dermatology word search champion! Good luck!

Q

Word search puzzles are fun to solve and have been around since 1968. We thought readers might enjoy the challenge of a dermatology-related word search,andsowehavepreparedonebasedonthethemeoffoodeponyms. To solve the puzzle, you must first identify, from the list below, 12 food or beverage terms used in dermatology. To do this, you need to fill in the blanks with the appropriate food words. Each blank has only 1 word for an answer except for number 1 (3 words) and number 7 (2 words). Please note that the answer to number 3 is a homonym of a food name. Once you have figured out the missing food or drink words, you must then find them in the word search grid below in which they are hidden.

CLUES A finding in neurofibromatosis type 1 (3 words) Also called Campbell De Morgan spots A heloma or clavus Dactylitis Common among wrestlers Stigma of congenital syphilis Nevus flammeus (2 words) Seen in inflammatory breast cancer A type of hemangioma Microscopic appearance of Malassezia Seen in impetigo Seen in pseudoxanthoma elasticum
