Abstract

Background: Fractional Carbon Dioxide (CO2) LASER has better efficacy compared to conventional LASER in treating scar tissue such as acne scars, keloids, and striae albae. However, a population with darker skin has a higher risk of side effects, especially in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and side effects of fractional CO2 LASER in new patients with acne scars, keloids, and striae albae in the Dermatovenereology outpatient clinic. Methods: Retrospective analysis was done on 42 medical records of patients who met the inclusion criterion, which was those who have undergone fractional CO2 LASER treatments. The efficacy and side effects of the therapy were identified and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 17 program. Result: A total of 42.9% of patients underwent fractional CO2 LASER treatments for acne scars, while 31% and 26.1% of patients received treatments for keloids and striae albae, respectively. There was a statistically significant decrease in the degree of acne scar (2.72 ± 0.83), keloid height (2.2 ± 0.405), and striae width (0.39 ± 0.02). The statistically significant side effects were hyperpigmentation (59.5%), crustae (26.2%), erythema ≥ for 4 days (19%), and new acne (19%). Conclusion: Fractional CO2 LASER was effective for treating scar tissue (acne scars, keloids, and striae albae) with a higher incidence of side effects in population with darker skin and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Abstract

Background: Photoaging is premature skin aging caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that inhibits the tyrosinase enzyme that can reduce pigmentation. Microneedling procedure can improve the penetration of topical vitamin C, and it has skin rejuvenating effects to reduce wrinkles and minimize pore size. Purpose: The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of topical vitamin C application after microneedling intervention for the clinical improvement of photoaging. Methods: Twenty-four women with photoaged skin participated in this randomization study, and they were divided into control and intervention groups. Solution of 0.9% NaCl and microneedling were performed to control group, and topical vitamin C and microneedling were performed to intervention group. Three intervention sessions were repeated at a 2 week interval. Signs of photoaging such as pigmentation, wrinkles, and pores were evaluated using Metis DBQ3-1, and the data were obtained numerically. Result: The data analysis revealed a significant improvement in pigmentation in the intervention group compared to control group (p<0.05). Wrinkles and pores evaluation revealed no significant difference between the control and intervention groups. Conclusion: Topical vitamin C after microneedling procedure has provided a significant improvement in pigmentation compared to NaCl 0.9% after microneedling.

Abstract

Background: The damage of the peripheral nerves that occurs in Morbus Hansen (MH) patients can cause disability due to loss of sensory, motor and autonomic functions can cause wounds, infections, ulcers and disability. Ulcers are the most common cause of disability complications in MH patients and requires a certain time of healing. As many as 10-20% of MH patients experience ulcers on the soles. Tea Tree Oil (TTO) is extracted from steam distillation of the leaves and twigs of the Australian native shrub Melaleuca Alternifolia. In ulcers, TTO can work as an antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant. TTO preparation in the form of hydrogel is believed to help the wound healing process. Purpose: To investigate the effect of TTO hydrogel 5% on the healing of Chronic Plantar Ulcer of Leprosy (CPUL). Methods: Tea tree oil hydrogel 5% was applied every 3 days for up to 8 weeks in 22 subjects with chronic MH plantar ulcers. Ulcer size, side effects, and possible side effects are evaluated weekly. Result: There were significant clinical and statistical differences in ulcer size (p = 0.000) and in ulcer depth (p = 0.000) after TTO hydrogel 5%. No side effects occurred in this study. The ulcer healed was 59%, the ulcer improved by 36.4%, the persistent ulcer was 4.6%, and there was no ulcer that got worse. Conclusion: TTO hydrogel 5% is effective in the healing process of chronic MH plantar pedis ulcers.

Abstract

Background: Male androgenetic alopecia (MAGA), also known as androgenetic alopecia, is the most common hair loss in males who have a genetic predisposition. The pattern of baldness in MAGA starts from the frontal area in a triangular pattern, followed by progressive thinning of the vertex until baldness occurs. Generally, the diagnosis of MAGA is established by clinical examination. FDA has approved a combination of topical minoxidil and oral finasteride for MAGA treatment. Currently, there is another treatment option like dutasteride, a prostaglandin analog, ketoconazole, and co-adjuvant therapy like laser therapy, hair transplantation, and so on. Purpose: To provide an updated treatment for MAGA. Review: Etiopathogenesis of MAGA is influenced by genetic susceptibility and hormonal factors. The European Consensus Group set the evaluation diagnosis of MAGA to include a historyof hair fall, physical examination, hair examination, supporting examination, and clinical documentation. There are therapeutic options for MAGA, including antiandrogen therapies, androgen-independent therapies, and co-adjuvant therapies. The FDA has approved a combination of topical minoxidil and oral finasteride for MAGA treatment. MAGA may affect patients’ quality of life and self-esteem. In general, patients expect higher. Conclusion: MAGA is the most common progressive hair loss in males. The MAGA therapy is expected to achieve cosmetically significant regrowth and to slow additional hair loss.

Abstract

Background: Cutaneous aspergillosis occurs relatively less frequent and therefore remains poorly characterized. Cutaneous aspergillosis can be as primary or secondary infection. Primary cutaneous aspergillosis usually involves sites of skin injury, intravenous catheter, traumatic inoculation, and associated with occlusive dressings. Secondary lesions result from contiguous extension from infected underlying structures or from widespread blood-borne seeding of the skin. Purpose: To know the skin manifestation, efflorence, examination and therapy of cutaneous aspergillosis. Case: A man complaint itchy redness macule and pimples on the right arm since 2 weeks. Initially just felt a little then expands. Patients with post operative brachial injury and uses a cast during one month. On examination there are erythematous macule unsharply marginated with papules. Potassium hydroxide examination, shows conidiophores, dichotomously branching and septate hyphae appropriate description with Aspergillosis Sp. Cultures found grow granular colonies, flat often with radial grooves, yellow at first but quickly becoming bright to dark yellow-green with age, For the identification microscope from the culture specimen there was conidia, phialde, conidiophore and vesicle that suitable with Aspergillus flavus. Patients received itraconazole 2 x 200 mg for 6 weeks and obtained satisfactory results. Discussion: Healthy hosts can develop cutaneous aspergillosis in surgical wounds, by traumatic inoculation, at sites associated with occlusive dressings.

Abstract

Background: Psoriasis is an inflammatory, chronic, and recurring skin disease that affects patient’s quality of life. Environment, drugs, and infections in the form of antigen and toxin such as Candida spp. are assumed responsible for triggering and exacerbating psoriasis. Purpose: To compare the prevalence of skin colonization of Candida spp. on psoriasis vulgaris patient and control. Methods: This study was observational analytic research involving 33 psoriasis vulgaris patients and 33 healthy individuals. They were matched up based on sex, age, and lesion location. Swab of skin lesions on the Koebner area of both groups was cultured on CHROMagar media. Candida spp. was later identified and the colonization was calculated. Result: Candida spp. was found on 51.5% of lesions in psoriasis vulgaris patients and 21.2% in the control group with a significant difference of p < 0.05. The average colony number of Candida spp. in psoriasis vulgaris group was lower than the control group with no significant difference of p > 0.05. The predominant Candida spp. in the psoriasis vulgaris and control groups was Candida krusei, which were 35.5% and 85.6%, respectively. No significant difference between sex, age, period of complaints, age onset, degree of severity (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index), and therapy history, with positive culture of Candida spp. Conclusion: There was no difference in the number of Candida spp. colonization in the psoriasis vulgaris group and the control group. However, the culture positivity of Candida spp. in the psoriasis vulgaris patients was higher than in the control group.
