Abstract

Background: Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous follicle with polymorphic clinical manifestation typically found on facial, neck and/or back area. The pathogenesis is complex and multifactorial. Management of acne vulgaris is determined based on its severity. Adjuvant therapies, such as intense pulsed light (IPL), have been described in accelerating the healing process during treatment. Case Illustration: We report two cases regarding the usage of IPL as adjuvant therapy in acne vulgaris. Both patients were diagnosed with moderate acne vulgaris. The first patient was given topical adapalene 0.1% gel every night and sunscreen in the morning, and the other patient was given clindamycin gel applied twice a day, benzoyl peroxide 2.5% cream applied once a day at night, and sunscreen in the morning. Both patients were treated using IPL as their adjuvant therapy every three weeks, with a total of 2 IPL sessions in 2 months. Evaluation using clinical and ultraviolet-induced red fluorescence (UVRF) examination showed gradual improvement. Discussion: IPL as an adjuvant therapy of acne vulgaris has been thought to interfere with the function of the sebaceous glands by its direct phototoxic effects and thermal damage. It also has bactericidal effects on C. acnes through the formation of free radicals. The combination of topical treatment and IPL yielded clinical improvements in both patients.Conclusion: IPL may be beneficial as adjuvant therapy in acne vulgaris in this case series.

Abstract

Background: Tinea is one of the most common superficial fungal skin infections. Steroid-modified tinea infections may present with atypical morphology. This study aims to observe the difference between dermoscopic features of uncomplicated dermatophytosis and steroid-modified dermatophytosis.Methods: This observational study was conducted in 60 patients with tinea cruris, tinea corporis and tinea faciei in the outpatient dermatology department of a tertiary care center. Patients were divided into group A and group B. Group A included 30 patients with no history of steroid use in the past three months. Group B included 30 patients with a history of steroid usage in the past three months. Dermoscopy was performed in both groups using a USB 2.0 dermoscope (Dino-Lite Premier AM3113T®, Magnification – 20x to 50x and 200x) to study the characteristic features in tinea infections. Chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test were applied as applicable.Results: Out of 60 cases of dermatophytosis, 20 cases were of tinea corporis, 28 cases of tinea cruris, and 12 cases of tinea faciei. Dermoscopic features of hair follicular involvement (perifollicular scale, follicular micropustules, the involvement of vellus hair, yellow hair, morse code hair, and transparent hair) were significantly more common in group B than in group A (P = 0.004, P = 0.039, P = 0.0001, P = 0.01, P = 0.03, P = 0.002, respectively for each feature).Conclusions: All dermatophytosis patients with a history of steroid use showed characteristic signs on dermoscopic examination irrespective of their morphologic appearance. Thus, dermoscopy can be used as a rapid diagnostic method for steroid-modified cases of tinea.

Abstract

Background: Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease caused by inflammatory response and attacks 2% of population, with the prevalence influenced by age, geographical location, and genetic background. Until this day, there are several studies that discuss about the relationship between blood type with disease. However, discussion about the difference between blood type and the relationship with skin disease remains limited. The objective of this study is to know the relationship between blood type, psoriasis, and onset of psoriasis.Methods: This study adopted cross-sectional design of analytic observational study. The subjects of this study were patients in Department of Dermatology and Venereology at Dr. Moewardi General Hospital and UNS Hopital in Surakarta. The blood types were determined by two methods; by using ABD-Pad measurement tools that able to see the reaction of antigen and antibody in short time and by using the hospital’s laboratory facility where sample was taken. Anamnesis were done to collect data about the onset of psoriasis. Chi-square (X2) statistical test was used to analyze the data.Results: Total sample of this study were 62 people with 31 subjects (50%) were psoriasis patients and 31 others (50%) are non-psoriasis patients. Chi-square test (X2) between blood type with psoriasis and blood type with the onset of psoriasis are p = 0.269 and p = 0.188 respectively. Conclusion: The significance level used was p < 0.05, therefore there’s no significant correlation between blood type with psoriasis and the onset of psoriasis.

Abstract

Background: Acne vulgaris (AV) is a multifactorial disorder characterized by the formation of open and closed comedones, papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts. Oxidative stress plays a role in the pathogenesis of AV. Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), especially lipid peroxides (LPO), plays a role in mediating acne inflammation. Malondialdehyde (MDA) is one of the byproducts of LPO commonly used as a biomarker of cell damage.Methods: This cross-sectional analytic study consisted of sixty patients with AV. The samples were taken from the blood plasma of AV subjects. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) examination was performed. The normality of data distribution was determined using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and the differences of plasma MDA levels based on the severity of AV were determined using the Kruskal-Wallis test. P valueResults: Acne vulgaris was predominantly found in women (70%), age group of 18 – 25 years old (73,33%), and patients with family history of AV (61,67%). Higher plasma MDA levels were found in women [5,5 (2,53 – 77,6) nmol/mL], age group of 26 – 35 years [5,66 (2,73 – 25) nmol/mL], and subjects with family history of AV [5,49 (2,53 – 77,6) nmol/mL]. Based on the severity of AV, the severe AV group had highest plasma MDA [13,85 (2,69 – 77,6) nmol/mL], followed by moderate AV group [4,46 (2,53-14,3) nmol/mL] and mild AV [3,78 (2,47-6,88) nmol/mL]. There were differences in plasma MDA level based on the severity of AV (p<0,001).Conclusion: There were differences in plasma MDA levels based on the severity of AV.

Abstract

Background: In response to various biologic and non-biologic systemic agents available in Indonesia, proper and accredited treatment guidelines are required to ensure patient safety. Appropriate treatment is crucial and may affect remission time and morbidities. These guidelines were developed by the Indonesian Society of Dermatology and Venereology – Kelompok Studi Psoriasis Indonesia (INSDV-KSPI) to provide updated decision-making algorithms for the biologic and non-biologic systemic agents for the treatment of adult patients with plaque psoriasis. Methods: Experts from twelve institutions across Indonesia were involved in developing the guidelines. Subsequently, a focus group discussed various journals, researchable questions, eligibility criteria, and outcomes of various treatments options. Results: Modified evidence to decision framework of treatment choices were constructed to aid dermatovenerologists across Indonesia in making a clinical judgment on the size of treatment options of biologic and non-biologic systemic agents for psoriasis treatment in Indonesia. Conclusion: These clinical practice guidelines, accepted and acknowledged by the Indonesian Society of Dermatology and Venereology - Kelompok Studi Psoriasis Indonesia (INSDV-KSPI), have been developed to present the latest and concise evidence- and experience-based guideline targeted towards dermatovenereologists in Indonesia on the management of adult plaque psoriasis.

Abstract

Background: Venous leg ulcer (VLU) is a chronic condition in the chronic venous insufficiency clinical spectrum. It’s becoming a burden because of its chronicity, slower wound healing, accumulated high cost, and treatment is a challenging task. Platelet-rich-fibrin (PRF) is one of the newer modalities available for treating VLU. Previous studies have shown successful results by using PRF in leg ulcers. We reported a case of venous leg ulcer treated with PRF.Case Illustration: A 47-year-old male came with an ulcer on the lower left leg for one year. The ulcer was preceded with a reddish, tender nodule with a pustule, which then ruptured, resulting in a wound. There was intermittent pain at the lesion with a limb cramp. The patient had used compression stocking, leg elevation, normal saline compress, and topical antibiotics with no improvement. PRF was given for 12 weeks along with compression stocking and leg elevation, which resulted in a clinically improved lesion. Discussion: Wound therapy has greatly improved over the past decades. The interest in the wound care field has led to advancements in biological products as one of its modalities. Platelet-rich-fibrin is an autologous platelet and leucocyte-rich fibrin material which forms an organized network where the platelets and leucocytes are concentrated, leading to the sustained release of various growth factors, and promoting wound healing. Previous studies have shown PRF to be effective and low-cost for VLU.Conclusion: The use of PFR on VLU is an alternative method, low cost, and simple technique with good healing potential.

Abstract

Background: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignant skin tumor and is derived from pluripotent cells in the basal layer of the epidermis. One of the BCC management options is surgery followed by a skin flap to close the wound defect. Case Illustration: We present a 43-year-old woman with a major complaint of non-healing sores on the left zygomatic region, close to the medial canthus, with frequent episodes of bleeding and itching since one year before admission. The lesion was excised and followed by histopathological examination, which revealed the BCC diagnosis with tumor-free edges. Closure of the defect with a rotation advancement flap was performed with good results. Discussion: The diagnosis of BCC in this patient was based on history taking, dermatological and histopathological examination. According to the dermatological examination, the patient presented with superficial ulcers with hyperpigmented bases, irregular margins and raised edges, partly covered by crust in the left zygomatic region, consistent with typical clinical manifestation of BCC. Histopathological findings of BCC may vary according to the subtype. However, most cases of BCCs usually have similar histological characteristics. Conclusion: The functional and cosmetic result of BCC following excision and defect closure with rotation advancement flap yielded good results with a shorter healing time.

Abstract

Background: The association between psoriasis and metabolic syndrome is appealing as the two may share a similar cross-linking systemic inflammation process. The inflammation processes occurring in obesity and psoriasis may aggravate one another. This raised the question of whether a low-calorie diet would possibly reverse the aforementioned process. This study aims to determine whether calorie restriction reduces psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) in obese patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis receiving conventional treatment compared to no calorie restriction.Methods: We searched Pubmed/Pubmed Central, ScienceDirect, Cochrane library, EBSCOhost, and Scopus databases using keywords derived from our clinical question. The inclusion criteria were randomized clinical trial (RCT) or systematic review, published in English, and available in full-text.Results: We obtained 2 systematic reviews with meta-analyses by Ko et al. and Upala et al. Ko et al. included 6 RCTs which found that the inclusion of a low-calorie diet shows significant improvement in PASI 75 compared to standard therapy (RR 1.66; 95%CI 1.07, 2.58). Upala et al. also found significant improvement in PASI 75 in a meta-analysis of 7 RCTs (Pooled OR 2.92; 95%CI 1.39, 6.13), but shows moderately high heterogeneity between studies. Other secondary outcomes have also shown significant improvements, such as quality of life and metabolic parameters.Conclusion: The intervention of a low-calorie diet may significantly reduce PASI, improve quality of life and reduce comorbidities in obese patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis, and thus can be recommended in psoriasis management.

Abstract

Background: Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is characterized clinically by yellowish sterile pustules surrounded by erythema. GPP in children is very rare and may appear following steroid withdrawal in psoriasis vulgaris.Case Illustration: A 14-year-old female presented to the emergency unit with generalized erythematous plaques and multiple pustules with lake of pus after abruptly stopped oral and topical corticosteroid for two weeks. The patient had used topical and oral corticosteroids for almost a year to treat psoriasis. Physical examination revealed moderately ill and tachycardic, with short stature, moon face, amenorrhea, and multiple erythematous plaques with multiple pustules and lake of pus along with red-purple striae all over the body.Discussion: Adverse effects of steroid-induced adrenal insufficiency are time-dependent and generally reversible. Gradual discontinuation of steroids must adhere to physiological dose of steroids, mostly in 3.49 ± 2.92 months. Other treatments available are emollients, salicylic acid, calcipotriol, coal tar, topical steroids, phototherapy, retinoids, and cyclosporine. Topical steroids cannot be the main therapy in severe psoriasis due to the possible side effects of excessive usage. Conclusion: Misuse of topical and systemic steroid in children could lead to Cushing’s syndrome, a multisystem disorder resulting from prolonged exposure to excess glucocorticoids, either both systemic or topical. Children could easily develop systemic reactions to topical steroids due to their higher total body surface area to body weight ratio.
