Article Synopsis
- The study focused on how doctors use a treatment called intralesional corticosteroid administration (ICA) for keloids, which are raised scars.
- A group of 23 keloid experts worked together online to agree on the best methods for using this treatment to help improve results.
- They reached agreements on some practices but didn’t all agree on the exact dosage and other details, highlighting the need for clearer treatment guidelines.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers looked at how different characteristics of keloids (which are thick, raised scars) can affect how well treatments work.
- They found that factors like the age, size, location, and past treatment of keloids might change how effective treatments are.
- The study highlighted that more research is needed to understand these factors better and create a better plan for treating keloids.
Article Synopsis
- Intralesional corticosteroid injections, like triamcinolone acetonide (TAC), are commonly used to treat keloids but don't always work well.
- Researchers studied how TAC spreads in keloids and normal skin using different methods, like needles and special jet injectors.
- They found that the way TAC spreads was different in keloids compared to normal skin, which might explain why the treatment is sometimes not effective, and they want to do more research to improve how it's delivered.
There is currently no guidance on how to interpret the global degrees of activity (worsening) and repigmentation (improvement) in vitiligo. Stratification into global degrees can be completed for static evaluations (e.g.
