“…In pediatric patients, HH affects 1.6% of adolescents and 0.6% of prepubertal children [ 20 ], and it remains widely undertreated. However, BoNT has been demonstrated to be effective and safe [ 21 ]. A multicenter, nonrandomized, open-label study of onabotulinumtoxinA treatment (50 IU per axilla) of bilaterally primary axillary HH in adolescents from 12 to 17 years old showed an improvement of 75% in 79.4–93.2% patients [ 22 ].…”

“…Pain can limit this treatment; thus several strategies have been evaluated to increase the compliance. Among these, ice with pressure, ice <20 or >20 seconds associated or not with topical anesthesia [ 23 , 24 ], general anesthesia, nerve blocks, vibration, pressure [ 21 ], and needle-free injections (Med-Jet MBX, Medical International Technologies, Montreal, QC, Canada) [ 25 ]. However, an open-label prospective study involving 20 patients with palmar HH, treated with needle injection on the right hand and with a needle-free device, has proven the efficacy of the device to be lower as compared to the classic needle injection [ 25 ].…”

BackgroundRecent studies have highlighted new botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) applications in the field of dermatology.ObjectiveTo review current knowledge of BoNT use in dermatology.MethodsThe literature of the last 5 five years has been reviewed.ResultsWe describe interesting protocols of BoNT treatment for hyperhidrosis (HH), hypertrophic scars and keloids, Raynaud phenomenon, facial flushing, oily skin, psoriasis, Hailey-Hailey disease, and cutaneous lesions like painful lesions and periorbital syringomas.ConclusionsSeveral skin conditions eligible for BoNT treatment have been described. After the wide application for HH treatment, scars as well as vascular and inflammatory skin disorders, oily skin and cutaneous lesions represent fields of application of BoNT.

“…Idiopathic hyperhidrosis (IH) is defined as perspiration in excess of the physiologic amount necessary to maintain thermal homeostasis. The prevalence of IP is underestimated by the currently reported figures, this due to underreported claims by patients and under-diagnosed by physicians, especially in the paediatric population, which is estimated to be around 1.6% [1]. This condition affects seriously the patients quality of life and self-esteem.…”

Idiopathic hyperhidrosis (IH) is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating beyond what is physiologically necessary for thermoregulation affecting mainly the axillae and palms. It affects seriously the quality of life of patients and has an incidence at paediatric age of 1.6%. The diagnosis is subjective relying only the the patient claim and physician perception. It is aim of this research to evaluate if dynamic infrared thermography (IRT) along with machine learning classifier on the thermal data are able to discriminate IH paediatric patients from healthy subjects. Using dynamic IRT, through convective provocation, on the views of axillae and palms, it was possible to discriminate IH paediatric patients from healthy subjects using artificial neural networks (ANN) and random forests (RF) in thermal measurements with high accuracy (>99%), the same was not possible only with the thermal data and statistics.

“…A number of treatments for hyperhidrosis exist, including topical antiperspirants, iontophoresis, intradermal botulinum toxin injections, systemic treatments, and surgical treatments such as focal curettage or liposuction of sweat gland-containing adipose tissue [68]. Newer prescription cloths embedded with glycopyrronium, an anticholinergic medication, are now available as well [69], offering a less invasive treatment option.…”

The majority of skin conditions are not life-threatening; however, many can be severe and disfiguring enough to devastate a patient's quality of life. Skin diseases can significantly impact not only a patient's physical appearance, but also their social and emotional well-being. Even the smallest skin lesions have been shown to disrupt a person's level of overall wellness. Here, we aim to address the potential psychological and emotional impact of the most common and debilitating dermatologic conditions. We describe how skin disorders affect individuals and subsequently, how they are perceived by society. In addition, we review several dermatologic conditions that are not only skin-related, but are also linked to disorders of internal organs. Lastly, we weigh the importance of skin health and how clear skin not only increases an individual's satisfaction and quality of life, but also impacts their ability to reach their full potential.
