Background: The uses of lactobionic acid, corundum microdermabrasion, and a combined technique, are treatments supporting therapies for acne vulgaris and seborrhoea. Objectives: The work was conducted to determine the effects of the peeling with lactobionic acid, corundum microdermabrasion, and a combined technique of both means on sebum secretion in acne vulgaris patients. Methods: The peeling with 50% lactobionic acid, the corundum microdermabrasion, and the combined technique were applied to 45 female patients divided into three groups of fifteen people each. Every one treatment was given five times in two week intervals. The measurements of sebum secretion were done within the T-and U-zones using Sebumeter SM15 (Courage & Khazaka, Germany). The last (sixth) measurement was performed two weeks after the last treatment. Results: Decrease in the level of sebum secretion was found during second or third measurement. Two weeks after the last treatment, the biggest decrease in the level of sebum secretion was observed in the patients treated with lactobionic acid, followed by those treated with the combined method. Conclusions: Treatments consisting of the peeling with lactobionic acid, corundum microdermabrasion, or the combined technique, brought significant decrease in the level of sebum secretion. The biggest decrease was observed in the patients treated with lactobionic acid, which being structurally similar to α-hydroxyacids exerts exfoliating properties. The combined method was also effective, because of increased skin penetration of the active ingredients, resulting from the abrasion of stratum corneum during the corundum microdermabrasion. The corundum microdermabrasion alone was the least effective approach.

Scoring systems have been developed to interpret the disease severity objectively by evaluating the parameters of the disease. Body surface area, visual analogue scale, and physician global assessment are the most frequently used scoring systems for evaluating the clinical severity of the dermatological diseases. Apart from these scoring systems, many specific scoring systems for many dermatological diseases, including acne (acne vulgaris, acne scars), alopecia (androgenetic alopecia, tractional alopecia), bullous diseases (autoimmune bullous diseases, toxic epidermal necrolysis), dermatitis (atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, dyshidrotic eczema), hidradenitis suppurativa, hirsutismus, connective tissue diseases (dermatomyositis, skin involvement of systemic lupus erythematosus (LE), discoid LE, scleroderma), lichen planoplaris, mastocytosis, melanocytic lesions, melasma, onychomycosis, oral lichen planus, pityriasis rosea, psoriasis (psoriasis vulgaris, psoriatic arthritis, nail psoriasis), sarcoidosis, urticaria, and vitiligo, have also been developed. Disease severity scoring methods are ever more extensively used in the field of dermatology for clinical practice to form an opinion about the prognosis by determining the disease severity; to decide on the most suitable treatment modality for the patient; to evaluate the efficacy of the applied medication; and to compare the efficiency of different treatment methods in clinical studies. Keywords: Disease severity, scoring system, dermatology Skorlama sistemleri, hastalığa ait parametrelerin değerlendirilerek hastanın klinik şiddetini objektif olarak saptama amacıyla geliştirilmiş olan ölçeklerdir. Vücut yüzey alanı, görsel analog skala ve doktor global değerlendirme skoru dermatolojik hastalıkların klinik şiddetinin değerlendirilmesi amacıyla en sık kullanılan genel skorlama sistemleridir. Bu skorlama sistemleri dışında akne (akne vulgaris, akne skarları), alopesi (androgenetik alopesi, traksiyonel alopesi), Behçet hastalığı, büllöz hastalıklar (otoimmün büllöz hastalıklar, toksik epidermal nekroliz, epidermolizis bülloza), dermatit (atopik dermatit, kontakt dermatit, dishidrotik egzama), hidradenitis suppurativa, hirsutismus, konnektif doku hastalıkları (dermatomyozit, sistemik lupus eritematozusun (LE) deri tutulumu, diskoid LE, skleroderma), liken planopilaris, mastositoz, melanositik lezyonlar-melanom, melazma, mikozis fungoides/Sezary sendromu, onikomikoz, oral liken planus, pitiriyazis rozea, psoriasis (psoriasis vulgaris, psoriatik artrit, tırnak psoriasisi), sarkoidoz, ürtiker ve anjiyoödem ve vitiligo gibi çok sayıda dermatolojik hastalık için spesifik skorlama sistemleri de geliştirilmiştir. Hastalık şiddet skorlama yöntemleri, dermatoloji alanında klinik pratikte hastalığın şiddetinin belirlenerek prognoz hakkında fikir sahibi olunabilmesi, hasta için uygun tedavinin belirlenmesi, uygulanan tedavinin etkinliğinin değerlendirilmesi, klinik araştırmalarda ise farklı tedavi yöntemlerinin etkinliklerinin karşılaştırılabilmesi gibi amaçlarla giderek d...

“…Acne lesions were counted by Leeds technique of Burke and Cunliffe which involved counting of all the individual lesions such as non-inflammatory lesions (comedones), inflammatory lesions (papules, pustules, nodules). 4 These were counted on the whole face i.e including forehead , right malar area, left malar area, chin and nose. A total count or score of the lesions on the face was obtained for individual lesions and as well as combining all individual areas (Figure 1).…”
