Acne has a prevalence of over 90% among adolescents and persists into adulthood in approximately 12%–14% cases with psychological social implications. Possible outcomes the inflammatory acne lesions are scars which, although they can be treated number ways, may have negative impact on life relationships. The main types atrophic hypertrophic scars. pathogenesis scarring is still not fully understood, but several hypotheses been proposed. There numerous treatments: chemical peels,...
The incidence rate of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer entities is dramatically increasing worldwide. Exposure to UVB radiation known induce basal squamous cell in a dose-dependent way the depletion stratospheric ozone has implications for increases biologically damaging solar reaching earth’s surface. In humans, arsenic cause skin, as well lung, bladder, liver, kidney. high levels drinking water been recognized some regions world. SCC BCC (squamous carcinoma) have reported be...
Melasma is a common hypermelanotic disorder affecting the facial area which has considerable psychological impact on patient. Managing melasma difficult challenge that requires long-term treatment with number of topical agents, such as rucinol and sophora-alpha. Aims . We aim to compare combined skin needling depigmenting serum using alone in melasma, order evaluate use microneedles means enhance drug’s transdermal penetration. Methods Twenty patients were treated one side face other side....
Atrophic scars can complicate moderate and severe acne. There are, at present, several modalities of treatment with different results. Percutaneous collagen induction (PCI) has recently been proposed as a simple effective therapeutic option for the management atrophic scars.The aim our study was to analyze efficacy safety percutaneous acne scarring in skin phototypes.A total 60 patients types phototype I VI were included study. They divided into three groups before beginning treatment: Group...
Abstract Background Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune disease affecting about 2% of the population, which has a considerable impact on quality life (QoL). There are no disease‐specific questionnaires to assess QoL in patients suffering from AA. Objective To validate new questionnaire for AA, named AA‐QLI, and compare consequent Quality Life Index (QLI) with commonly known Dermatology (DLQI) verify if it can provide more comprehensive tool patients. Methods A total 50 affected by AA were...
Telemedicine is a rapidly developing application of clinical medicine where medical information transferred through interactive audiovisual media for the purpose consulting remote procedures or examinations, reducing time consultation patients. Teledermatology as an telemedicine was developed in 1995: it turns out to be gradually more ordinary mean delivering dermatologic healthcare worldwide and will almost certainly have greater function future. In particular, teledermatology can aid...
Background: Dioxins are persistent organic pollutants present in the environment. They exert their biological effects by binding to an intracellular receptor, aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). Activation of AhR leads induction cytochrome p450 1A1 (CYP1A1). Expression CYP1A1 human skin is a key marker for activation, and it may induce comedogenesis resulting acne-like lesions known as chloracne/metabolising acquired dioxin-induced hamartomas (MADISH). The contribution this pathway patients...
Psoriasis is a chronic, systemic inflammatory disease that in the moderate to severe forms may benefit of biologics, namely TNF and IL-12/23 IL-17 inhibitors. Loss response, lack or discontinuation due adverse events represent concrete therapeutic challenge for dermatologists have switch patients other treatments. Although some evidences already exist toward from inhibitors inhibitors, conversely nothing present We performed real-life study enrolling 50 randomly switched adalimuamb,...
Epiluminescence microscopy (ELM) is a non-invasive technique used to enhance visualization of microscopic structures pigmented lesions for the early detection melanoma. The 7-point check-list diagnostic method that requires identification only seven dermoscopic criteria, defining image through use algorithms. This paper describes an experimental automated diagnosis set-up melanocytic skin processing methodology focused on finding presence different epiluminescence parameters. In this allows...
<i>Background:</i> Photodynamic therapy (PDT) with aminolevulinic acid (ALA) has been shown to be an effective treatment for acne. However, the effect of ALA PDT on comedo formation never objectively evaluated. Cyanoacrylate follicular biopsy (CFB), a noninvasive procedure, proposed as most reliable tool studying casts. <i>Objective:</i> To determine possible and red light (550–700 nm) macro- microcomedones in acne patients. <i>Patients Methods:</i> 10...
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that involves the terminal hair follicles of apocrine gland-bearing areas.To evaluate relationship between HS and systemic medical conditions, such as overweight/obesity during adolescence.Epidemiologic data was collected from January 2014 up to December 2015 27 patients affected by HS, outpatients Dermatology Department University Naples Federico II, examine correlation overweight/obesity.70.4% were female 29.6% male....
Upper lip wrinkles are very common and impair the quality of life many people due to their perceived unsightly appearance. Several options available today for treatment. A new therapeutic option, called collagen induction therapy (CIT), seems be effective safe treatment upper wrinkles. The aim this study is demonstrate efficacy safety CIT in Ten female subjects, aged 50-65 years old, with were enrolled. Each patient was treated a specific tool two sessions. Using digital camera, photographs...
An image based system implementing a well-known diagnostic method is disclosed for the automatic detection of melanomas as support to clinicians. The software procedure able recognize automatically skin lesion within digital image, measure morphological and chromatic feature, carry out suitable classification structural dermoscopic criteria provided by 7-Point Check. Statistical techniques are introduced adopted border detection, feature extraction well resulting score described with...
Over the past two decades, there has been increasing demand for aesthetic procedures to reverse effects of aging, particularly in facial area. Recently, topical nifedipine proposed its anti-wrinkle efficacy.To confirm efficacy a 0.5% nifedipine-based formulation.A randomized study was conducted 20 healthy female volunteers, aged between 45 and 60 years, with moderate moderately severe wrinkles. 10 volunteers applied cream good moisturizer twice daily 90 days. The improvement evaluated by...
