Abstract

Background: Skin tags or acrochordons are benign fibroepithelioma skin tumors with soft consistency, usually pedunculated, primarily originating from the dermis. High levels of blood sugar and a high lipid profile are risk factors for inflammation and hormonal imbalance, which can contribute to the development of skin tags. Purpose: The objective of this study is to identify the association between blood sugar and lipid profile with skin tags. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study conducted from April to August 2019 at the Dermatovenereology and Endocrine Policlinic, Dr. Zainoel Abidin General Hospital, Banda Aceh. The sampling method of this study was consecutive sampling with 60 samples that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. A blood glucose, lipid profile, and skin tag examination was conducted on all subjects. Result: The majority of the subjects are women (61.5%), have an average age of 41-50 years old (43.3%), are obese (41.7%), and have one to five lessions of 1-5 (53.3%). There was a significant correlation between blood glucose, 2 hours post-prandial, total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels with skin tags with Spearman's correlation values of 0.645, 0.645, 0.794, 0.704, 0.606, and 0.606 consecutively. Conclusion: A high level of blood sugar and lipid profile, whether it is total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, or LDL level, can contribute to the development of skin tags.

Abstract

Psoriasis vulgaris is an autoimmune disease that is influenced by multifactor, namely environmental, genetic (HLA-Cw6), and immune system dysregulation (IL-17 or IL-22), resulting in increased proliferation of keratinosit in the epidermis. Histologically characterized by parakeratosis, hyperkeratosis, elongated rete ridge, Monro micro abscess, and Kogoj micro abscess. The clinical picture is red patches with thick scales, especially in the trauma area. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is an autologous preparation of platelets that strengthens in plasma and is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent. The immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects of PRP are believed to play a role in the treatment of chronic inflammation patients. One of the important mediators in the pathogenesis of psoriasis is nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and PRP exerting an inhibitory effect on NF-κB. The aim of the study was to assess the effect of PRP on the severity and quality of life of psoriasis vulgaris patients. The design of this study is a paired numerical comparative analysis using two groups with two measurements. The research design was a randomized, undisguised clinical trial and a parallel design. The study lasted for 6 weeks. Sampling was done by total sampling involving 20 psoriasis Vulgaris patients, then divided into two groups: intervention group and control group. The test group received 2 PRP injections and topical combination therapy (salicylic acid 3% + Vaseline album cream), while the control group only received topical combination therapy. The results of this study found a decrease in PASI and DLQI scores in the intervention group compared to the control group (p<0.005). This study concludes that the administration of PRP can reduce the severity of psoriasis Vulgaris as well as improve the quality of life of psoriasis Vulgaris patients.
