Abstract

Background: Recent advances in laser and light-based technologies have introduced new options for both the stimulation of hair growth for alopecia and the reduction of unwanted hair growth. However, the clinical evidence remains varied, and treatment outcomes are influenced by factors such as device type, wavelength, and individual response. Ongoing evaluation of safety, efficacy, and standardization of treatment parameters is therefore essential. Discussion: This review provides an in-depth discussion of the principles, mechanisms, safety, and efficacy of lasers in promoting hair growth, as well as on lasers and light-based therapies used for hair removal. The mechanisms of laser-induced hair growth stimulation include the acceleration of vellus hair transformation into terminal hair. In contrast, lasers and light-based devices utilize melanin as a target chromophore for hair removal. Conclusion: Appropriate devices and techniques of lasers and light-based devices, whether used alone or in combination with other therapies, are beneficial for both hair growth and hair removal.

Abstract

Background: Mucormycosis is a rare fungal infection caused by a group of opportunistic fungi from the class Zygomycetes. Primary cutaneous mucormycosis is the most common type of mucormycosis in immunocompetent patients. This study reported a case of primary cutaneous mucormycosis with nonspecific clinical characteristics and various supporting examinations. The patient was successfully treated with in toto excision and oral ketoconazole. Case Illustration: A 40-year-old female presented with purplish-red spots and painless lumps on the second finger of her right hand, which had been present for a year. She had a history of frequent fish tank cleaning and gardening but denied any known injury. Physical examination revealed multiple well-circumscribed and confluent erythematous-violaceous plaques and nodules. An in toto excisional biopsy was performed for histopathological examination, culture, and a rapid molecular test (RMT) using the Xpert MTB/RIF® test (Cepheid, USA). Histopathological examination revealed granulomatous suppurative inflammation, and fungal culture revealed growth of Mucor species. Discussion: Clinical findings in cutaneous mucormycosis are nonspecific. The diagnosis is confirmed by identifying the organism through biopsy and histopathological examination, as well as culture. Histopathology will reveal granulomas in the dermis and subcutis containing numerous macrophages and Langhans giant cells, often with phagocytosed fungal elements. Fungal culture yields positive results in 72–89% of cases of skin mucormycosis conducted on Sabouraud and potato dextrose agar media. Conclusion: This case emphasizes the need for broad differential consideration and thorough diagnostic workup in nonspecific cutaneous mucormycosis and supports surgical excision with systemic antifungal therapy for chronic, localized primary disease.

Abstract

Background: Bowen’s disease (BD) may develop into cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC), which can spread to other parts of the body. 5% 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) cream is commonly used for topical therapy on BD; however, the frequency and duration of treatment per cycle have not been standardized. This systematic review aimed to identify the most effective frequency and duration of 5% 5-FU treatment for achieving complete clearance or minimal recurrence. Methods: A literature search was conducted using three electronic databases (PROSPERO ID: CRD42024607488): MEDLINE, Cochrane, and Scopus. The articles were selected based on their relevance to the clinical question. Appraisals were conducted using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and the revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials. Results: Five selected studies with 550 participants were critically reviewed; two were cohort studies and three were randomized trials. Some patients in total studies used more than one therapy cycle. Four of the five studies showed a recurrence rate in 12 months after the end of treatment. In cohort studies, the recurrence rate was 0–8.3% with twice-daily application for 9–16 weeks, whereas in randomized trials, the recurrence rate was 14.3–27.3% with various application frequencies for 4 weeks. Conclusion: The most suitable duration and frequency of 5% 5-FU cream application per cycle to minimize the recurrence rate of BD is twice daily for four weeks per cycle. However, other factors may affect the recurrence rate.

Abstract

Background: Post-acne hypertrophic scars and keloids result from abnormal wound healing within the pilosebaceous unit. Ruptured microcomedones create wounds that can lead to prolonged inflammation, increased collagen synthesis, and fibrinolysis inhibition, resulting in elevated scar tissue in acne lesions. Vitamin D deficiency can lead to prolonged inflammation and damage to dermal collagen. High total cholesterol levels can lead to excessive sebum production, exacerbating inflammation and fibrosis. This study aimed to determine the association between serum vitamin D and total cholesterol levels with scar severity in patients with post-acne hypertrophic scars and keloids. Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital, Palembang, South Sumatera, Indonesia, among patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Scar severity was assessed using the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS). Blood samples were collected for examination of serum vitamin D and total cholesterol. The data were analyzed statistically. Results: Chi-square test of serum vitamin D with VSS scores showed a significant association (p-value = 0.007), while total cholesterol with VSS showed no association (p-value = 1.000). Odd-ratio (OR) for serum vitamin D and VSS was 60, concluding that vitamin D deficiency increased the risk of high VSS by 60-fold in study patients. Conclusion: There was a significant association between serum vitamin D levels and VSS score, while there was no association between total cholesterol and VSS score. Deficiency of serum vitamin D is associated with a higher risk of developing a higher VSS score in patients with post-acne hypertrophic scars and keloids.
