Abstract

Background: Diagnosing skin conditions can be challenging in resource-limited settings. Cyanophyceae, or blue-green algae, are found in water bodies worldwide and can lead to harmful algal blooms under specific conditions. East Nusa Tenggara, a province in eastern Indonesia, with its hot, dry climate and pristine waters, creates ideal conditions for these blooms. While dermatitis from Cyanophyceae exposure is rare, the potent biotoxins produced by these algae may cause skin reactions. This case report aimed to describe the dermatitis that was possibly caused by Cyanophyceae. Case description: A 22-year-old male from rural East Nusa Tenggara presented with pruritic papules, pustules, and vesicles on both arms for two days. The lesions began as erythematous papulo-vesicular formations and progressed to oozing and crusting shortly after he cleaned a neglected fish pond with algal blooms. The eruptions were confined to exposed areas of both arms. The patient reported no fever, cough, headache, or throat pain, and other physical findings were normal. After two weeks, the lesions improved significantly with topical mometasone furoate. The patient was educated on proper hand hygiene and avoiding similar allergens. Conclusion: Cyanophyceae can release biotoxins that may cause hypersensitivity reactions on human skin. In addition, the lipopolysaccharides found in their cell walls can also irritate human skin. Skin reactions vary and depend on factors such as individual susceptibility, cyanobacterial profile, toxin types and concentrations, and skin barrier disruption. Cyanophyceae can cause irritation and allergic responses.

Abstract

Background: Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is a rare, serious, and potentially life-threatening drug hypersensitivity reaction. The diagnosis of DRESS can be challenging to make because of the highly variable clinical presentation, progressive onset of manifestations, and the extended period from drug exposure to onset. Many DRESS cases remain undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. This study aims to report a rare case of an adult patient with DRESS to expand our knowledge and avoid delayed identification and treatment. Case: A 31-year-old male presented to the emergency department with a chief complaint of itchy, red desquamation rashes all over his body, with fever and swelling on his face. The dermatological status obtained was a generalized distribution; on nearly the entire body surface area, there were multiple lesions, confluent, with unclear boundaries, irregular in shape, plaque-sized, not raised, dry, in the form of erythematous macules with scales and light yellow crusts. Hematological laboratory analysis revealed hypereosinophilia. The renal function indicated a decreased eGFR of over 75%, and the hepatic function test revealed an elevated in liver function. The patient was diagnosed with DRESS, acute kidney injury, and transaminitis. There was an improvement in the patient's condition following the withdrawal of the previous medications and the administration of intravenous dexamethasone, oral antihistamine, and symptomatic treatment. Conclusion: Early identification and withdrawal of all suspected medications are essential for the management of DRESS, as a delayed diagnosis can be life-threatening. The administration of systemic steroids is efficacious for the treatment of DRESS.

Abstract

Background: The skin has an essential function of protecting the body against external environmental influences. The stratum corneum plays an important role in maintaining skin hydration and pH, which contribute to the skin barrier function. The normal pH of the skin ranges from 4.1 to 5.8, which affects the stability of the microbiome, the hydration of the stratum corneum, and the epidermal barrier function. The use of cleansing products, such as body wash, affects skin pH, where soaps with a high pH (10-11) can damage the stratum corneum lipid layer, leading to dryness, irritation, and decreased hydration levels. This study aims to describe skin hydration levels and pH of body wash used among Tarumanagara medical students class of 2023. Methods: This descriptive research design involved measuring skin hydration in various body areas using a corneometer and identifying the pH of body skin with a pH meter among medical students. Results: The results showed that the majority of subjects (68.1%) used soap with an alkaline pH (>8), with the highest prevalence in women compared to men. The right upper arm area showed the highest skin hydration, where 65.7% of subjects had very moist skin. The legs showed the lowest hydration, with 48.8% of subjects having very dry hydration. Conclusion: This study emphasizes the importance of using pH-balanced soap to support optimal skin hydration. Moisturizer use after bathing and increased mineral water consumption are also recommended to maintain skin hydration balance. The findings provide important insights to raise awareness of skincare habits that support holistic skin health.

Abstract

Background: Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin disorder that commonly affects the nails. Studies on psoriasis in our environment are very few, and data on nail abnormalities in our environment are lacking. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the frequency of nail involvement in patients with psoriasis, document the nail changes in psoriasis, and identify any existing association between some clinical parameters and nail involvement. Methods: A cross-sectional study of consecutive patients diagnosed with psoriasis at the dermatology unit of University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria, between January 2015 and October 2016. Diagnoses of psoriasis were clinical and supported by histopathologic confirmation. After obtaining sociodemographic data, history of disorder, and nail symptoms, each patient had a baseline examination with special attention paid to fingernail changes, and the findings were documented. Nail involvement was compared between the two sexes and with the presence of arthritis. Severity of nail involvement was calculated using the Nail Psoriasis Severity Index Score.  Results: In total, fifty-nine patients were involved in the study. Majority (78.0%) of the patients were adults with a median age of 39.0 years (interquartile range 21 – 55 years) and a male to female ratio of 0.9: 1. Psoriasis vulgaris was the most typical form of presentation in the study and nail changes were present in 51 patients (86.4%) with psoriasis. The most common nail abnormalities observed were pitting, followed by onycholysis and nail discolouration. Nail involvement was seen statistically more frequent in patients with extensive cutaneous involvement. Conclusions: Involvement of the nail is quite common in psoriasis in our environment, and at times it may be the initial manifestation. Pitting, onycholysis, and discolouration with a brownish to yellowish brown hue are the most typical nail abnormalities in patients with psoriasis in this environment. From the study, it appears that nail abnormalities tend to occur more in patients with more severe cutaneous disease.

Abstract

Skin aging is a natural phenomenon caused by a decline in collagen production that leads to skin thinning, dry and pale skin, wrinkles, and sagging. Skin aging may not contribute to the mortality rate. However, people tend to connect their symbol of inner self to external appearance. Therefore, psychosocial effects such as social anxiety, low self-esteem, and low satisfaction in life will affect their personal and social life. Anti-aging procedures focus on the prevention of damage, replacement of tissues, and skin rejuvenation. Bakuchiol (Psolarea corylifolia) is a novel anti-aging product with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging properties that is deemed effective and tolerable in skin rejuvenation. This comprehensive review aims to further examine the effectiveness and tolerability of bakuchiol based on previous studies in order to provide new insights into delaying skin aging. A comprehensive literature search was conducted to assess the effectiveness and tolerability of bakuchiol as a dermal anti-aging modality from search engines, PubMed, Google Scholar, CORE, Science Direct, and Cochrane using search terms (“Bakuchiol” OR “Psolarea corylifolia”) AND (“Dermal Aging” OR “Skin Aging”). Bakuchiol proved to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties to maintain youthfulness and skin appearance. Regarding tolerability, bakuchiol has fewer side effects compared to other commonly used modalities. Therefore, bakuchiol (Psolarea corylifolia) is an effective and tolerable modality in the treatment of aging skin.
