Pathologically Confirmed Subcutaneous Fat and Lymphovascular Invasion of a Hypopigmented Area in Extramammary Paget Disease.

Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is a rare adenocarcinoma that usually occurs in areas of the body that are rich in apocrine sweat glands. Great depth of tumor invasion is a well-known risk factor for worse prognosis. Paget cells usually are limited to the epidermis, whereas invasive EMPD, which infiltrates the dermis, is relatively rare.

Clinical Evaluation of Conditioned Media of Human Umbilical Cord Blood Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Improvement of Symptoms of Sensitive Skin: Prospective, Single Blinded, Split-face Study.

Background: The exact definition of sensitive skin is not established yet. Since its high prevalence and significant influence on quality of life, it has become an important topic of research. Among various ingredients, conditioned media from umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UCB-MSC-CM) can be a promising source for the treatment of sensitive skin.

The Beneficial Effect on Pigmentation Using Laser Epilation as an Initial Treatment Approach for Becker's Nevus in Asian Skin.

Becker's nevus (BN) clinically presents as brown patches with hypertrichosis. The risk of pigmentary changes still remains a concern when using lasers to treat Asian patients with BN. We aimed to evaluate the outcomes on reduction of hairs and pigment of BN using the long-pulsed 1064-nm Nd:YAG (LPNY) and/or 755-nm alexandrite (LP-Alex), before treating pigment in earnest.

A Split-Face, Single-Blinded, Randomized Controlled Comparison of 532 nm Picosecond Neodymium-Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet Laser versus 532 nm Q-Switched Neodymium-Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet Laser in the Treatment of Solar Lentigines.

Background: Solar lentigines are the most common form of benign epidermal pigmentation and one of the major cosmetic concerns in Korea. A 532 nm Q-switched neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (QSND) laser is typically used for the treatment, but the occurrence of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is not rare. Recently, the use of picosecond (PS) lasers has emerged in pursuit of better outcomes.
