Currently, two major perforating diseases include reactive perforating collagenosis and elastosis perforans serpiginosa. In some literature, acquired perforating dermatosis is a third major group and is a catch-all term for cases of perforating disease arising in adults, usually associated with a systemic disease. Kyrle disease is characterised by the formation of large papules with central keratin plugs and is often associated with hepatic, renal or diabetic disorders.

The chemicals in glow sticks can be combined in certain ways to have a brighter glow for a short period of time or a dim glow for a longer time.
The length of time a glow stick will glow depends on a couple of different factors. The quality and amount of chemical inside the glow sticks, the color and age of the glow stick and environmental factors will all come into play, each one affecting the light stickâs brightness and duration.
