Abstract

This community service project aimed to increase the knowledge and awareness of cancer survivors, particularly those with head and neck cancer, regarding oral complications, especially dry mouth or xerostomia, which often result from radiation and chemotherapy. Data indicates that the prevalence of xerostomia is very high in patients undergoing radiation treatment. To address this issue, the project implemented the Self Oral Screening (SOS) method, a self-screening program that includes filling out questionnaires and examining the oral cavity. The activity also trained participants to create a mouthwash using baking soda. The educational session was conducted at the Indonesian Cancer Foundation in Surabaya, attended by 14 cancer patients and their companions. Evaluation was carried out using a pre-test and post-test to measure the increase in participants' knowledge before and after the education. The average pre-test score was 70.0, while the average post-test score increased to 83.57, showing a significant increase in the participants' knowledge level. However, the evaluation data is still being processed for further publication. Overall, this activity successfully improved participants' knowledge, which is expected to enhance their quality of life through better self-care.

Abstract

Background: Bullous Pemphigoid (BP) is the most common subepidermal bullous autoimmune disease, typically presenting as tense bullae. Atypical presentations of bullous pemphigoid often mimic TEN or impetigo, creating diagnostic ambiguity. Effective management of these cases requires integrated strategies to address systemic health factors and extensive oral mucosal involvement. Objective: This report highlights the Oral Health Care Management of atypical oral and cutaneous manifestations of Bullous Pemphigoid. Case: A 58-year-old woman with a history of Diabetes Mellitus and heart disease was referred with extensive bullae, erosions, and "honey-like" crusts involving over 30% of her body surface area. Her condition worsened despite two weeks of treatment with acyclovir, which was administered for suspected herpes. The presentation was highly suggestive of TEN and impetigo. Case Management: Management of the oral and perioral lesions focused on infection prevention and pain relief. Debridement was performed using sterile gauze soaked in normal saline and 0.2% chlorhexidine. This was followed by the application of Aloevera extract gel/spray. Comprehensive systemic therapy, including corticosteroids and immunosuppressants, was coordinated by a multidisciplinary team to control the autoimmune disease and its comorbidities. Conclusion: The presence of comorbidities, such as diabetes, further complicates systemic management and heightens the risk of secondary infections, requiring meticulous wound care. A multidisciplinary diagnostic algorithm, supported by supplementary examinations, is crucial for differentiating atypical BP from TEN and impetigo infection. Adequate management of associated oral and perioral manifestations is an integral component of comprehensive patient care.
