Abstract

Background: Both Pityrosporum folliculitis (PF) and Acne vulgaris (AV) are chronic inflammation of pilosebaceous follicle but with different etiology. The similar findings may lead to misdiagnosis that worsen symptoms, especially if PF is treated with antibiotics meant for AV. A simple KOH examination helps to differentiate PF and AV is not always readily available in clinical setting.Purpose: to find an alternative, practical tool to confirm the diagnose of PF and AV.Review: Dermoscope is a handheld microscope equipped with 10x magnification and a light source for microscopic visualization of the subcutaneous structures. The monomorphic lesions in PF appear as hypopigmented, round lesions with coiled/looped hair in the center. Dermoscope image of AV varies according its polymorphic manifestations. A non-inflammatory AV shows a yellow-brown blockage in the center while inflammatory AV is depicted as round, whitish lesions with thin brownish borders and erythematous marginal lesions. Pustular AV appears as raised lesions with indistinct borders and white or yellowish in the middle and surrounding reddish borders.Conclusion: Dermoscope help to see skin structures invisible to naked eyes and thus, help to diagnose PF and AV.

Abstract

Background: Acne vulgaris (AV) often occurs at the age of puberty, most people with AV feel ashamed of their appearance. It has been believed that green tea contains high level antioxidant, such as Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). Purpose: This study is to compare quality of life from the patient of acne vulgaris before and after using 3% Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate (EGCG) cream as adjuvant therapy of 0,025% tretinoin cream with 0,025% tretinoin cream alone in the treatment of AV. Methods: This study is a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test design, and a control group design aiming to know the difference in quality of life of 46 samples after administration of EGCG cream combined with tretinoin cream compared to the group that was given tretinoin cream alone in patients with AV for 12 weeks, and then evaluate patients satisfaction and change in quality of life after treatment using the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). Result: Statistical analysis found that there was a significant difference (p-value <0.05) in the quality-of-life value of research subjects in the treatment group when compared between the initial arrival to week 12 with a p-value of 0.000. Distribution of DLQI values in research subjects who were given 3% EGCG cream therapy as adjuvant therapy with 0.025% tretinoin cream. Conclusion: Both groups showed an improvement in the DLQI value with the interpretation of the DLQI value at week 12 being both 100%, but the treatment groups DLQI decline faster than the control groups.

Abstract

Background: Fungal skin infections are prevalent in developing countries, with dermatophytosis and tinea versicolor being the most prevalent. The KOH test is a practical and easy-to-do examination for diagnosing superficial fungal skin infections on an outpatient basis. Skin scraping is the most known method for collecting samples for KOH testing, but some studies have shown that cellophane tape is also used for a more patient-friendly approach. Purpose: This study is aimed at comparing KOH examinations using cellophane tape and skin scrapings. Methods: This research is a diagnostic test study with a cross-sectional approach. The research data were obtained from 51 medical records of skin patients at Dr. Soedirman Kebumen Municipal Hospital with the diagnosis of tinea cruris and tinea corporis who underwent KOH examination with cellophane tape and skin scrapings. Data correlation was analyzed using the Chi square test.  Result : From the research, it was found that there was no statistically significant difference between the use of cellophane tape and skin scrapings in the KOH test sampling for tinea cases (p = 0.153), which indicates that there was no significant difference between the use of the two methods for the diagnosis of dermatophytosis. Conclusion: The tapping method as an alternative method of skin scraping for KOH examination can be used to establish the diagnosis of dermatophytosis.

Abstract

Background: Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) rarely occurs under 10 years of age. GPP is typically characterized by an eruption of generalized pustules accompanied by systemic symptoms such as fever for several days, malaise, and anorexia. Pustules are sterile, with a size of 2-3 mm, and spread over the trunk and extremities. This disease can be life-threatening; therefore, optimal therapy is required. Purpose: to report a rare case of GPP in childhood. Case: A 4-year-old girl with complaints of widespread red patches that spread to her neck, back, and hands, with red patches turning into streaks that are partially pus-filled and itchy. In almost all parts of the body, skin abnormalities were seen in the form of generalized erythematous plaques, well-defined borders, multiple pustules on the edges, and some plaques covered by thick scales and crusts. In the calculation of body surface area (BSA), the result is 44%, and in the calculation of generalized pustular psoriasis area and severity index (GPPASI), the result is 21.30. The patient was treated with combination topical therapy of 3% salicylic acid, desoximethasone cream 0.25%, momethasone cream 0.1% vaseline albume as emollients, and coal tar. Significant improvement was seen after 1 month of therapy. Discussion: GPP in children is a rare case. GPP is idiopathic and can be life-threatening. Until now, there has been no standard therapy that is considered the most effective and safe for children. Topical therapy may be an option.
