“…The group of related molecules that act in the biological system including pigmentation processes (skin, hair, eyes) is known as melanin [ 18 ]. UV radiation influences melanin differently: UVA is a mediator/catalyst of photo-oxidation processes and UVB is a stimulator/catalyst of synthesis processes through the stimulating action on melanocytes [ 19 ].…”

Females require at a certain period of life the administration or supplementation of specific hormones (estrogen, progesterone), for various needs, such as: prevention of unwanted pregnancies, decreased menstrual bleeding, dysmenorrhea and pelvic pain in endometriosis, alleviation of symptoms associated with menopause, regulation of certain skin processes related to acne or aging and others. Also, hormones could act as oncogenes being known eloquent examples of estrogens labeled both as promoters of cell specific alteration or as mutagenic agents. The use of hormones and exposure to solar radiation is expected to cause a number of adverse changes to the body, especially due to their association with malignant processes. The current study was purported as a basis for understanding certain processes that occur with the administration of hormones and exposure to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation. The animal model was made on healthy adult female BALB/c mice, which were separated into groups and treated with Ethinylestradiol (EES), Levonorgestrel (LNG) and their combination in the presence of UVB radiation. Changes in skin physiological parameters were analyzed by non-invasive methods, biochemical parameters related to changes in blood circulating system were evaluated by standard methods and histopathological analysis was conducted to point out the changes at the level of the internal body. Measurement of skin parameters such as erythema, melanin, skin hydration, has highlighted some changes in hormone-treated and exposed to UVB radiation groups which were significant only in the case of erythema. Biochemical parameters showed variations in terms of liver enzymes in groups treated with active substances. Histologically, aspects of internal organs revealed significant changes in the group treated with EES and LNG and exposed to UVB radiation.

“…Exposure to polyhalogenated aromatic hydrocarbons can cause an uncommon but severe skin condition called chloracne [94]. These lesions belong to halogenodermas, i.e., skin eruptions associated with reactive halogen elements such as bromine, iodine, and chlorine.…”

“…In the case of chloracne, causative agents, also known as chloracnegens, can be found in occupational and industrial settings, in addition to polluted environments. Due to the potential presence of these substances in industrial waste material and food, they may enter the human body through inhalation, ingestion, and percutaneous absorption [94,96]. Chloracne is linked to one of the most devastating anthropogenic environmental catastrophes in history.…”

Acne-like Eruptions: Disease Features and Differential Diagnosis

et al. 2023

The term “acne-like eruptions” encompasses a variety of skin conditions resembling acne vulgaris. While both acne-like dermatoses and true acne are frequently observed in clinical settings, differentiating between the two might be challenging. Similar to acne, the lesions of acne-like eruptions may exhibit papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts. However, contrary to acne, comedones are uncommon but may still be observed in certain types of acne-like eruptions. Moreover, acne-like eruptions can be differentiated from acne based on their sudden onset, the propensity to occur across all age groups, the monomorphic appearance of lesions, and the distributions extending outside the seborrheic regions. The development of acne-like eruptions cannot be attributed to a single underlying mechanism; nevertheless, various factors such as patient age, infections, occupation, habits, cosmetics, and medications may be involved. The observed lesions may not respond to standard acne therapy, necessitating that treatment strategies are tailored in accordance with the identified causative agents. The following review aims to outline distinct entities of acne-like eruptions and present features that set them apart from true acne. Acne-like eruptions in the adult population, infectious diseases resembling acne, and acne-like eruptions resulting from exposure to chemical and physical agents are addressed in this paper. An understanding of the clinical presentation, pathophysiology, and epidemiology of this group of dermatoses is pivotal for a precise diagnosis and provision of appropriate care.

“…The link to toxicology was obvious; in humans, the oldest observation of dioxin toxicity is chloracne, which had already been described in the late 19th century. The chloracne-typical acneiform lesions are hamartomas, paralleled by severe atrophy of the sebaceous glands [97]. Epidemiological evidence indicated a link between skin cancer, other skin diseases and AHR in the presence of environmental/occupational HPAH and PAH exposure in workers (such as coal miners) or by lifestyle (e.g., smokers) [98].…”

Identifying historical trajectories is a useful exercise in research, as it helps clarify important, perhaps even “paradigmatic”, shifts in thinking and moving forward in science. In this review, the development of research regarding the role of the transcription factor “aryl hydrocarbon receptor” (AHR) as a mediator of the toxicity of environmental pollution towards a link between the environment and a healthy adaptive response of the immune system and the skin is discussed. From this fascinating development, the opportunities for targeting the AHR in the therapy of many diseases become clear.
