Abnormal scars, such as hypertrophic scars and keloids, and cutaneous fibrosis that develops in diseases such as systemic sclerosis and graft-versus-host disease can be even more challenging for patients. There is a large body of literature suggesting that inflammation promotes the deposition of scar tissue by fibroblasts. Mast cells represent one inflammatory cell type in particular that has been implicated in skin scarring and fibrosis. Most published studies in this area support a pro-fibrotic role for mast cells in the skin, as many mast cell-derived mediators stimulate fibroblast activity and studies generally indicate higher numbers of mast cells and/or mast cell activation in scars and fibrotic skin.

  • Topical Treatments for Seborrheic Keratosis: a Systematic Review
    SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS Topical Treatments for Seborrheic Keratosis: A Systematic Review Ma. Celina Cephyr C. Gonzalez, Veronica Marie E. Ramos and Cynthia P. Ciriaco-Tan Department of Dermatology, College of Medicine and Philippine General Hospital, University of the Philippines Manila ABSTRACT Background. Seborrheic keratosis is a benign skin tumor removed through electrodessication, cryotherapy, or surgery. Alternative options may be beneficial to patients with contraindications to standard treatment, or those who prefer a non-invasive approach. Objectives. To determine the effectiveness and safety of topical medications on seborrheic keratosis in the clearance of lesions, compared to placebo or standard therapy. Methods. Studies involving seborrheic keratosis treated with any topical medication, compared to cryotherapy, electrodessication or placebo were obtained from MEDLINE, HERDIN, and Cochrane electronic databases from 1990 to June 2018. Results. The search strategy yielded sixty articles. Nine publications (two randomized controlled trials, two non- randomized controlled trials, three cohort studies, two case reports) covering twelve medications (hydrogen peroxide, tacalcitol, calcipotriol, maxacalcitol, ammonium lactate, tazarotene, imiquimod, trichloroacetic acid, urea, nitric-zinc oxide, potassium dobesilate, 5-fluorouracil) were identified. The analysis showed that hydrogen peroxide 40% presented the highest level of evidence and was significantly more effective in the clearance of lesions compared to placebo. Conclusion. Most of the treatments reviewed resulted in good to excellent lesion clearance, with a few well- tolerated minor adverse events. Topical therapy is a viable option; however, the level of evidence is low. Standard invasive therapy remains to be the more acceptable modality. Key Words: seborrheic keratosis, topical, systematic review INTRODUCTION Description of the condition Seborrheic keratoses (SK) are very common benign tumors of the hair-bearing skin, typically seen in the elderly population.

    COVID-19 mRNA Pfizer- BioNTech Vaccine Analysis Print All UK spontaneous reports received between 9/12/20 and 22/09/21 for mRNA Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine. A report of a suspected ADR to the Yellow Card scheme does not necessarily mean that it was caused by the vaccine, only that the reporter has a suspicion it may have. Underlying or previously undiagnosed illness unrelated to vaccination can also be factors in such reports. The relative number and nature of reports should therefore not be used to compare the safety of the different vaccines. All reports are kept under continual review in order to identify possible new risks.

  • Fundamentals of Dermatology Describing Rashes and Lesions
    Dermatology for the Non-Dermatologist May 30 – June 3, 2018 - 1 - Fundamentals of Dermatology Describing Rashes and Lesions History remains ESSENTIAL to establish diagnosis – duration, treatments, prior history of skin conditions, drug use, systemic illness, etc., etc. Historical characteristics of lesions and rashes are also key elements of the description. Painful vs. painless? Pruritic? Burning sensation? Key descriptive elements – 1- definition and morphology of the lesion, 2- location and the extent of the disease. DEFINITIONS: Atrophy: Thinning of the epidermis and/or dermis causing a shiny appearance or fine wrinkling and/or depression of the skin (common causes: steroids, sudden weight gain, “stretch marks”) Bulla: Circumscribed superficial collection of fluid below or within the epidermis > 5mm (if <5mm vesicle), may be formed by the coalescence of vesicles (blister) Burrow: A linear, “threadlike” elevation of the skin, typically a few millimeters long. (scabies) Comedo: A plugged sebaceous follicle, such as closed (whitehead) & open comedones (blackhead) in acne Crust: Dried residue of serum, blood or pus (scab) Cyst: A circumscribed, usually slightly compressible, round, walled lesion, below the epidermis, may be filled with fluid or semi-solid material (sebaceous cyst, cystic acne) Dermatitis: nonspecific term for inflammation of the skin (many possible causes); may be a specific condition, e.g. atopic dermatitis Eczema: a generic term for acute or chronic inflammatory conditions of the skin. Typically appears erythematous,

  • Nodular Scleroderma in a Patient with Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Infection: a Coexistent Or Causal Infection?
    Nodular Scleroderma in a Patient With Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Infection: A Coexistent or Causal Infection? Chayada Kokpol, MD; Emily Y. Chu, MD, PhD; Suthinee Rutnin, MD PRactice Points Nodular scleroderma is a rare form of cutaneous scleroderma that can occur in association with systemic scleroderma or localized morphea. The clinical features are characterized by solitary or multiple, firm, long-lasting papules or nodules on the neck, upper trunk, and proximal extremities. The pathogenesis is still unclear. Some reports have suggested that matricellularcopy protein and growth factor, acid-fast bacteria, organic solvents, or the hepatitis C virus may be involved. not Nodular scleroderma is a rare form of scleroderma neck and trunk that had been present for 2 years. that may occur systemically or locally.

Description Individuals may acquire a multitude of benign skin lesions over the course of a lifetime. Most benign skin lesions are diagnosed on the basis of clinical appearance and history. If the diagnosis of a lesion is uncertain, or if a lesion has exhibited unexpected changes in appearance or symptoms, a diagnostic procedure (eg, biopsy, excision) is indicated to confirm the diagnosis. The treatment of benign skin lesions consists of destruction or removal by any of a wide variety of techniques. The removal of a skin lesion can range from a simple biopsy, scraping or shaving of the lesion, to a radical excision that may heal on its own, be closed with sutures (stitches) or require reconstructive techniques involving skin grafts or flaps. Laser, cautery or liquid nitrogen may also be used to remove benign skin lesions. When it is uncertain as to whether or not a lesion is cancerous, excision and laboratory (microscopic) examination is usually necessary. II. Criteria: CWQI HCS-0184A Note: **If request is for treatment or removal of warts, medical necessity review is not required** A.
