“…85 However, a case of pseudolymphoma occurring in a blue-green tattoo was thought to be related to FIR light exposure and induced sweating. 86 These effects on living organisms exposed to FIR rays are poorly understood; therefore, further study is required.…”

Physical therapy (physiotherapy), a complementary and alternative medicine therapy, has been widely applied in diagnosing and treating various diseases and defects. Increasing evidence suggests that convenient and non-invasive far-infrared (FIR) rays, a vital type of physiotherapy, improve the health of patients with cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms by which FIR functions remain elusive. Hence, the purpose of this study was to review and summarize the results of previous investigations and to elaborate on the molecular mechanisms of FIR therapy in various types of disease. In conclusion, FIR therapy may be closely related to the increased expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase as well as nitric oxide production and may modulate the profiles of some circulating miRNAs; thus, it may be a beneficial complement to treatments for some chronic diseases that yields no adverse effects.

“…One patient Four patients with tattoo ink-related CPL were treated with laser. Q-switched neodymium:yttrium-aluminiumgarnet laser or CO 2 laser usually resulted in marked improvement in the skin lesions and in 2 of these 4 patients, intralesional corticosteroid adjuvant therapy was performed (17,20,22,23).…”

Cutaneous pseudolymphoma (CPL) is a reactive polyclonal T- or B-cell lymphoproliferative process. CPL may appear as localized or disseminated skin lesions. While most cases of CPL are idiopathic, they may also occur as a response to, for example, contact dermatitis, arthropod reactions, and bacterial infections. CPL can be classified based on its clinical features, but all variants have similar histopathological patterns of either predominantly B-cell infiltrates, T-cell infiltrates, or mixed T/B-cell infiltrates. The prognosis of CPL is good, but the underlying disease process should be taken into account. If an antigenic stimulus is identified, it should be removed. In patients with idiopathic CPL, a close follow-up control strategy should be adopted. The aim of this systematic review is to summarize all reported treatments for CPL. The review was based on articles from the PubMed database, using the query "skin pseudolymphoma treatment", English and German, about "human" subjects, and published between 1990 and 2015 documenting adequate treatment and/or aetiology. Mainly individual case reports and small case series were found. Treatment options include topical and intralesional agents, systemic agents, and physical modalities. The final part of the review proposes a treatment algorithm for CPL according to each aetiology, based on the literature of the last 25 years. Future research should focus on randomized controlled trials and studies on long-term outcomes, which were not identified in the current review.

“…In some cases lichenoid, granulomatous, sarcoidal, morhpeaform and pseudolymphomatous reaction have been also reported. The association with pseudolymphoma, a benign T or B-cell proliferative disorder, has been rarely reported in the literature [1].…”

“…Recent data suggest that chronic antigen stimulation may lead to proliferation of lymphoid cells [3]. Documented cases are generally of the B-cell type [1][2][3] and limited to the red portion of the tattoo, whereas in our case, the infiltrate was composed by T-cell which was similar to another case described in a semipermanent tattoo [4]. Including our case report, pseudolymphoma has been described in red (n=9), blue (n=2), green (n=2) and black (n=1) tattoo pigments in the English literature [1][2][3][4].…”

“…Topical and intra-lesional corticosteroids have been used with disappointing results. In isolated cases CO2 laser and Q-switched Nd-Yag laser have been successful therapies [1,3]. Some authors have described spontaneous regression of the lesions within years, so "wait and see" approach could be another option in the management of these reactions [3,6].…”
