- Primary cutaneous macular amyloidosis (PCMA) is a skin condition that causes chronic itching due to amyloid protein buildup in the skin.
- This study tested a 6% gabapentin cream on 34 PCMA patients, comparing its effects against a control cream in a triple-blind trial.
- Results showed significant itching and pigmentation improvements in the gabapentin group after one month, though changes in pigmentation were not sustained over time; further research is suggested for better efficacy verification.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of topical timolol in treating facial angiofibromas (FAs) in pediatric patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC).
Methods: A prospective clinical trial was conducted involving 15 children diagnosed with TSC and presenting with FAs. The participants were administered topical timolol gel 0.
Purpose: To investigate the effect of oral isotretinoin therapy on central macular thickness (CMT) thickness and choroidal thickness (CT) using optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Methods: CT and CMT thickness of 43 eyes were evaluated at baseline, the third, and sixth month of isotretinoin therapy by spectral-domain OCT. For assessment of CT, OCT measurements were obtained at the fovea with six additional measurements at adjacent locations (at 500-1000 µm temporal to the fovea and 500-1000 µm nasal to the fovea).

- Connective tissue nevus is a type of growth (hamartoma) made up of excessive amounts of skin components like collagen and elastin.
- A case is presented involving a 14-year-old girl who has flesh-colored papules and nodules appearing in a specific skin pattern on one side of her body.
- This report introduces a new case demonstrating both mucinous nevus and multiple collagenomas, emphasizing unique clinical features that help in diagnosis.
