Syphilis, known for its capacity to mimic various diseases, has seen rising incidence, particularly in adolescents, men who have sex with men (MSM), and individuals with HIV. Palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK), a rare manifestation of secondary syphilis, poses diagnostic challenges due to its resemblance to other conditions. We report the case of a 42-year-old man living with HIV presenting with acquired PPK, characterized by hyperkeratotic plaques on the palms and soles, alongside syphilitic roseola.

- Facial aging leads to a rise in the demand for rejuvenation treatments, and adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have potential, but there’s a lack of comparative studies on their application methods.
- This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ADSCs combined with microneedling versus CO laser for facial rejuvenation among 27 participants using a split-face treatment design.
- Results showed that CO laser with ADSCs significantly improved UV spots and wrinkles more than microneedling, with higher patient satisfaction and better histological outcomes in the CO laser group, indicating it may be the superior option for facial rejuvenation.*
