Comparison of the effect of diode laser versus intense pulsed light in axillary hair removal.

Background: Devices such as diode laser and intense pulsed light (IPL) are in constant development aiming at permanent hair removal, but there are few comparative studies between these technologies.

Objective: The objective was to comparatively assess axillary hair removal performed by diode laser and IPL and to obtain parameters of referred pain and evolution response for each method.

Materials And Methods: A comparative prospective, double-blind, and randomized study of axillary hair removal performed by the diode laser and IPL was conducted in 21 females.

A lesion suspected of melanoma by dermoscopy: we must trust this diagnostic tool.

Background: The incidence of cutaneous melanoma is increasing worldwide and early diagnosis is essential since the prognosis is poor in advanced stages of disease. Dermoscopy emerged as an additional and important diagnostic procedure for the early diagnosis of cutaneous melanoma.

Main Observation: We report a case of a 52-year-old man, who developed a pigmented lesion in the right pretibial region.
