The efficacy of 5-FU is comparable to other singly used modalities as a treatment option for keloids. The lack of any serious side effects and the evidence of recurrence at 24 weeks of follow-up make this a promising modality.

Contrary to earlier reports, surgical nail avulsion with topical antifungal agents was not found to be a very encouraging modality for the treatment of onychomycosis. Both oxiconazole and ketoconazole delivered comparable results. Occlusion improved the treatment outcome, although the difference was not statistically significant. As a subtype, TDO showed poorest response. Surgical nail avulsion followed by topical antifungal therapy cannot be generally recommended for the treatment of onychomycosis.

If carried out properly, suction blister technique is the procedure of choice for cosmetically important sites like eyelids.
