Abstract

Keloids are abnormal cutaneous wound healing responses extending beyond the borders of the initial wound, usually appearing pink-purplish to hyperpigmented nodules or plaques with a hard consistency, irregular shape, uneven border, and smooth shiny surface. Most often occur on the chest, shoulder, upper arms, earlobes, and cheeks. This case report aims to compare a case of keloid treated with intralesional triamcinolone acetonide (TAC) alone with intralesional triamcinolone acetonide-5-fluorouracil (TAC + 5-FU) combination injection. A 21-year-old Minahasa male complains of growing pruritic scars in the back area and right and left upper arms since five years ago. Physical examination of the right and left upper arms revealed multiple hyperpigmented nodules and plaques, irregularly shaped, smooth, and shiny surfaces with defined borders and varying sizes. A clinical diagnosis of keloid was made. Treatment was initiated with weekly intralesional TAC alone on the left upper arm vs. intralesional TAC + 5-FU combination injection on the right upper arm. The evaluation was made based on the clinical and modified Vancouver scar scale. One of the most commonly used therapeutic options for keloid is TAC. However, the combination of TAC + 5-FU may be opted for due to its mechanism through the corticosteroid mechanism of action in conjunction with the antimetabolite activity of 5-FU. The combination may yield a more effective and faster outcome with fewer side effects. Intralesional combination TAC + 5-FU injection may be a therapeutic option for keloid with minimal side effects.

Abstract

BackgroundMelasma is a highly prevalent chronic pigmentary disorder. The pathogenesis is unknown but melasma often occurs in photo-exposed areas, e.g., cheeks, upper lip, chin, and forehead. Tranexamic acid (TA), a plasmin inhibitor, aids in the inhibition of UV-induced plasmin activity and melanogenesis, making it a favorable therapeutic option for melasma. Tranexamic acid may be administered through various routes, e.g., topical. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of topical 10% versus 5% TA in women with melasma. MethodsThis double-blind randomized controlled trial included 16 females with epidermal type melasma who were randomized into two groups to receive either topical 10% TA (n = 8) or 5% TA (n = 8) applied twice daily for eight weeks. Prior to intervention and at 8 weeks after intervention, the intensity and extension of melasma were assessed based on melasma area and severity index (MASI) score and pigmentation score. ResultsMean MASI and pigmentation scores in both treatment groups were similar at base-line (p>0.05). The reduction in MASI and pigmentation scores in the topical 10% TA and 5% TA groups was similar and statistically not significant after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment (p>0.05). There were no drug-related adverse reactions or complications. ConclusionThis study demonstrated that topical 10% TA and 5% TA were effective in treating women with melasma. The utilization of topical 5% TA for melasma is a promising alternative therapeutic option without the need to increase the concentration of the formulation.

Abstract

Pendahuluan: Nekrolisis epidermal toksik (NET) adalah reaksi mukokutan akut yang mengancam nyawa, ditandai dengan nekrosis dan pengelupasan epidermis luas. Kasus NET pada anak jarang terjadi, sekitar 0,4-1,2 juta per tahun. Sebagian besar kasus (60-90%) dipicu oleh obat, dan sebagian lainnya oleh infeksi virus atau bakteri. Tata laksana utama adalah menghentikan obat yang dicurigai sebagai penyebab dan terapi suportif. Prognosis kasus ini dinilai dengan Pediatric SCORTEN secara berkala. Kasus: Perempuan usia 13 bulan, mengalami ruam merah, lepuh, dan kulit mengelupas setelah mengonsumsi obat tradisional berbahan kulit kayu eboni, daun sirsak, dan daun mangga. Pemeriksaan fisik menunjukkan lesi makula eritematosa-hiperpigmentasi, multipel, bula multipel berdinding kendur, erosi, epidermolisis, dan tanda Nikolsky positif. Diagnosis NET ditegakkan berdasarkan anamnesis dan pemeriksaan fisik. Pasien mendapatkan terapi sistemik dan topikal dengan hasil perbaikan klinis signifikan setelah 20 hari. Diskusi: Obat tradisional mengandung komponen bioaktif yang diduga memicu NET, namun infeksi virus belum dapat disingkirkan sebagai penyebab. Kesimpulan: Telah dilaporkan satu kasus pada NET pada anak diduga akibat obat tradisional yang ditegakkan berdasarkan anamnesis dan pemeriksaan fisik. Meskipun jarang, obat tradisional perlu diwaspadai sebagai pencetus NET.

Abstract

Acne vulgaris (AV) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the pilosebaceous follicle with multifactorial pathogenesis and pleiomorphic clinical manifestations constituting comedones, papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts. Oxidative stress has been reported to contribute in AV pathogenesis. This phenomenon rationalizes antioxidant supplementation as an adjuvant therapy for AV management. Four cases of 22 to 23 yo women with complaints of worsening facial acne for 1 to 6 mo. Initially, acne lesions appeared as skin-colored papules, which increased in number, became reddish papules and pustules, and extended to the jaw and chin. Lesions were accompanied by temporary itching and pain. Dermatological examination revealed multiple circumscribed discrete erythematous papules, miliar to lenticular in size, comedones (+), and pustules (+), with total lesions <30. According to the Lehmann criteria, patients were diagnosed as mild AV. All patients were treated with 0.025% topical retinoic acid cream, while the other two patients received additional oral antioxidant supplementations (zinc and ɑ-lipoic acid) and were followed up every two weeks. Two cases who received additional oral antioxidant supplementations (Group A) exhibited an earlier and higher clinical improvement, characterized by a reduction in the number of lesions on each follow up, till the current report. Oxidative stress in AV pathogenesis causes microenvironment alteration that favours colonization of Cutibacterium acnes. Together with the increase in sebum production, it stimulates the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-1α, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF α), contributing to the inflammatory response. Antioxidant supplementation plays a role in suppressing the process of lipid peroxidation and inhibiting the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Comprehensive management of AV is based on pathogenesis and the role of oxidative stress. An earlier and higher clinical improvement reduction was noted in Group A, patients who received a combination of 0.025% topical retinoic acid cream and oral antioxidant supplementation.

Abstract

Background: Wound dehiscence is wound edges separation due to disrupted wound healing. Wound dehiscence is a complication in 8% of dermatologic surgeries. In this case, secondary infection of the wound occurred, 1% framycetin sulphate tulle was then chosen to interfere microbial protein synthesis, combined with ozonated oil as adjuvant therapy. Ozone oxidizes bacterial phospholipids and lipoproteins, promotes local tissue metabolism, stimulates fibroblast proliferation, facilitates collagen fiber formation, and supports angiogenesis. This case report described a post-excisional biopsy dehisced wound that was treated with 1% framycetin sulphate tulle and ozonated oil, and this case is the first to report a successful management of post-excisional biopsy dehisced wound with ozonated oil as adjuvant. Case Presentation: An 11-year-old female was brought with a purulent wound on her head post-excisional biopsy. Examination of the parietal region showed a solitary ulcer, 1 cm in diameter, irregular edge, granulated tissue base, serous exudate, crusting, edema, and pus. Treatment was 0.9% NaCl compress, 1% framycetin sulphate tulle, and ozonated oil once weekly. Evaluation on day 21 showed ulcer size reduction and on day 28, ulcer turned into a scar, treatment was continued with mometasone 0.1% cream. Day 86 showed secondary cicatricial alopecia. Complications of a wound in hair-bearing area can occur, in this case, secondary cicatricial alopecia.Conclusion: This paper highlights the utilization of ozonated oil as an adjuvant therapy for a favorable outcome in wound healing.

Abstract

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most common type of hair loss, causing gradual, progressive miniaturization of hair follicles and shortening of the anagen phase in genetically predisposed men and women, following a distinct pattern. Hair loss usually begins after puberty and is more prevalent in men. This case report details a young male patient with androgenetic alopecia treated with single spin platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy combined with topical minoxidil. A 27-year-old Minahasan male experienced hair thinning and loss for 10 years, starting at the middle of his head and spreading outward. Examination showed thinning at the fronto-parietal hairline and vertex, classified as Hamilton-Norwood III vertex. Treatment involved biweekly single spin PRP injections and twice-daily application of 5% topical minoxidil. The PRP was prepared by centrifugation at 3000 rpm for 15 minutes, with up to nine sessions administered. Clinical evaluations through hair pull tests and trichoscopy revealed significant improvement, including increased hair density and changes in follicle diameter in treated areas. By week eighteen, hair density increased markedly, and hair loss diminished without side effects. The patient was highly satisfied with the cosmetic results. This case report indicates that single spin PRP combined with topical minoxidil is an effective, safe, and reliable treatment for male androgenetic alopecia, offering clinical improvement and enhanced hair growth without adverse effects. The simplified PRP protocol provides practical advantages for clinical use, especially in resource-limited settings, and supports growing evidence for PRP as an adjunct therapy for androgenetic alopecia in young Asian patients.

Abstract

Pendahuluan: Neurofibromatosis tipe 1 (NF1) adalah gangguan autosomal dominan kompleks yang disebabkan oleh mutasi germline pada gen penekan tumor NF1. Vitiligo merupakan penyakit depigmentasi yang bisa didapatkan pada kulit, membran mukosa, dan rambut dengan karakteristik khas berupa makula putih. Pada studi ini, kami melaporkan suatu kasus pria dengan NF1 dan vitiligo. Kasus: Seorang pria usia 36 tahun datang dengan benjolan di seluruh tubuh sejak 26 tahun yang lama kelamaan bertambah banyak dan membesar. Sejak satu tahun lalu, pasien mulai mengeluh timbul bercak warna putih pada kedua tangan dan kaki tanpa rasa gatal. Gangguan pendengaran, keseimbangan, atau pandangan kabur disangkal oleh pasien. Status dermatologis menunjukkan papul dan nodul sewarna kulit serta makula hiperpigmentasi multipel pada seluruh tubuh. Pada kedua tangan dan kaki, tampak makula hipopigmentasi multipel, berbatas tegas tanpa adanya skuama, erosi, maupun ekskoriasi. Pemeriksaan histopatologi mengonfirmasi diagnosis neurofibromatosis tipe 1. Pasien didiagnosis dengan NF1 dan vitiligo. Diskusi: NF1 merupakan kondisi yang cukup sering ditemukan. Vitiligo juga merupakan salah satu kondisi yang tidak jarang. Akan tetapi, koeksistensi keduanya jarang ditemukan dan telah dikaitkan dengan teori genetik serta sistem imun. Kesimpulan: Neurofibromatosis tipe 1 merupakan kondisi yang sering ditemukan, namun kondisi yang terjadi bersamaan dengan vitiligo merupakan kasus yang jarang. Kami melaporkan suatu kasus pria dengan neurofibromatosis tipe 1 disertai vitiligo.
