The common symptom is itchiness, mainly occur at night, along with a history of itch from family members or friends with whom the patients might have close physical contact before. Scabies is still a concerning health problem for the majority of poor and developing countries. Purpose: To evaluate the profile of newly-admitted children scabies patients. Methods: This study retrospectively evaluated the medical records of subjects with scabies in the Children Dermatology Division, Dermatology and Venereology Department of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, between January 2012 and December 2014. Results: There were 545 patients with scabies (33.6% from Children Dermatology Division visit and 3.2% from overall outpatient clinic visit), mainly consisted of children aged 5-14 years old (69%), and mostly males (62.6%). The most common symptom was itchiness (70.28%), most patient sought treatment after the complaint have been persisted for more than 30 days (51.7%), and 66.4% patients have family members with similar complaint. Most of the lesions were found on the hands (60.37%), mostly as papules (73.2%). Almost all of them did not undergo a skin scraping examination (99.1%).

Abstract

Background: It is hypothesized that combination of amniotic membrane stem cell metabolite product (AMSC-MP) and vitamin E after fractional CO2 laser as laser assisted drug delivery (LADD) provides better long-term effects on clinical improvement of photoaging. This is promising as an option for photoaging therapy in the future. Purpose: The study aimed to evaluate long-term effects of improving the degree of wrinkles, polarized black spots, ultraviolet (UV) black spots, pores, and skin tones in subjects who have received a topical mixture of AMSC-MP with vitamin E and CO2 fractional laser as LADD. Methods: Thirty adult women with photoaging who had been treated with topical AMSC-MP mixed therapy with vitamin E and CO2 fractional laser three times, were then given maintenance therapy, tretinoin cream 0.025% and sunscreen SPF 30. Observation of improvement of wrinkles, polarized black spots, UV black spots, pores, and skin tones were performed computer-stimulated photographs, Janus-II Facial Skin Scope System, three times every month for three months after the last treatment. Results: The evaluation of wrinkles, polarized black spots, UV dark spots, pores and skin tones from the assessment for three months after being receiving treatment of a topical mixture of AMSC-MP with vitamin E and CO2 fractional laser as LADD on photoaging obtained p>0.05. Conclusion: There was a long-term effect of the topical mixture of AMSC-MP with vitamin C and CO2 fractional laser on photoaging, and there was no side effect observed.
