Abstract

Background: Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a reactive hypermelanosis after inflammation. PIH can have a negative impact on a patient’s quality of life, particularly for darker-skinned patient. Although PIH can occur in any skin type, but this type of hypermelanosis is more common in color skin patients. Purpose: Review treatment options for HPI in color skin. Review: Skin of color describes individuals with increased epidermal pigment and darker skin. This subset of patients has unique cosmetic concerns and often requires special consideration for cosmetic procedures. PIH is more frequent, more severe dan more evident in color skin. Conclusion: Treatment for the underlying dermatosis and sunscreens are an effective treatment. Topical treatment is effective for PIH epidermal only. Hydroquinone in combination with topical steroid, retinoid, glycolic acid, lactic acid as well as kojic acid, arbutin, ascorbic acid, soy, and niacinamide. Salicylic acid and glycolic acid chemical peeling as well as quality-switched (QS) neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd: YAG) laser, QS Ruby, 1550 nm erbium fiber fractional thermolysis, and 1927 nm fractional thulium fiber shows a good efficacy for facial hyperpigmentation treatment.

Abstract

Background: Leprosy in children are commonly found in Madura, Indonesia. Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination and interferon--γ (IFN-γ) level associated with severity of leprosy. Purpose: To evaluate IFN-γ level and BCG scar due to leprosy in child. Methods: A descriptive observational cross sectional research, with leprosy in patients in Bangkalan, Madura as subjects. Subjects has been collected through consecutive sampling, then BCG scars were observed and blood vein samples were taken to measure IFN-γ level. Results: IFN-γ level were below normal range in almost all subjects. Mean level in patients with BCG scar (10,07 pg/ml) were higher than patients with non-scar (6,9 pg/ml). Seventy percents patients without BCG scar tend to be MB type based on percentage BCG scar due to type of leprosy. Conclusion: Immunity status as a result of BCG vaccination measured from IFN-γ level has many confounding factor. BCG vaccination seems to have an important role in severity of leprosy. Patients with BCG scar tend to be PB type. BCG vaccination can be benefits to make milder symptoms of leprosy.
