The present survey confirmed that cosmetic acceptability is, together with efficacy and safety, a very important aspect of a successful treatment of psoriasis.
When used as indicated, amorolfine 5% nail lacquer is more cost-effective than ciclopirox 8% and tioconazole 28% for onychomycosis of toenail, fingernail or both in males and females in France, UK, Germany and Italy.
We report the case of a patient who developed keloid scarring associated with Mammostat-induced skin trauma during reduction mammoplasty. A 32-year-old patient consulted for breast hypertrophy and developed from the fourth postoperative month significant keloid scars on skin shears caused by dermal stretching techniques used during de-epithelialization. The Mammostat-related scars were keloid, while those found on old skin incisions were only enlarged and slightly hypertrophic. We followed up this patient for 7 years. During this time, she received the following local treatments: scar kneading, silicone dressings, intralesional injections of corticosteroids, and potent dermocorticosteroids. After balancing the benefit/risk ratio of a possible revision surgery for resection and plasty of her keloid scars, we opted for therapeutic abstention. In patients at high risk of keloids, we recommend a soft de-epithelialization causing no skin shear, performed by manual tensioning of the dermis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
