Drug-induced phototoxicity: A systematic review.

Background: Phototoxicity has been attributed to numerous oral drugs over the past 60 years.

Objective: Determine the quality of evidence supporting suspected phototoxicity from oral drugs.

Methods: The MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched for all studies that contain original data for drug-induced phototoxicity and were published between May 1959 and December 2016.

Treatment of lateral canthal rhytides with a medium depth chemical peel with or without pretreatment with onabotulinum toxin type A: a randomized control trial.

Background: Combination therapies used to treat the photoaged skin have become more popular as studies demonstrate greater efficacy and improved clinical outcomes compared to single treatment modalities.

Objectives: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of treating the lateral canthal rhytide complex with a Jessner's and 35% TCA peel with and without pretreatment with BTX-A.

Methods: Twenty-six subjects with Fitzpatrick skin types I -III were randomized to receive treatment of their lateral canthal rhytide complex with a Jessner's and 35% TCA peel with or without pretreatment with BTX-A.

Treatment of Acne Vulgaris With Salicylic Acid Chemical Peel and Pulsed Dye Laser: A Split Face, Rater-Blinded, Randomized Controlled Trial.

Introduction: Pulsed dye laser (PDL) has been used to treat acne lesions and scar erythema by interrupting superficial vasculature. Salicylic acid chemical peels are employed chiefly due to their lipophilic, comedolytic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Although studies have looked at peels and laser therapy independently in acne management, we examined these treatments in combination.

Actinic Keratosis, Transected: What Lies Beneath?

Evaluation of superficial transected shave biopsies of squamous neoplasms often presents a diagnostic dilemma for the dermatopathologist because of the lack of complete visualization of the base of the epidermis. Fear of "missing" an invasive carcinoma must be balanced with avoidance of overdiagnosis of precancerous actinic keratosis (AK), especially on cosmetically sensitive areas such as the face. If a concern exists that a more invasive component may be present, a diagnosis of AK transected at the base (AKT) will often be rendered to alert the dermatologist of this concern.

Development of Sinus Tracts within a Connective Tissue Nevus.

We report a case of sinus tract development within a connective tissue nevus in a patient with velocardiofacial syndrome and describe our treatment of sinus tracts using surgical deroofing and trichloroacetic acid scarification.

Use of a brief educational video administered by a portable video device to improve skin cancer knowledge in the outpatient transplant population.

Background: The considerably high risk of skin cancer development among transplant recipients warrants effective and efficient patient education on sun-protective behaviors.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and patient satisfaction of a brief educational video on skin cancer risks and sun-protective behaviors in the transplant population during a routine posttransplant follow-up visit, as compared with an educational handout.

Materials And Methods: One hundred posttransplant patients were randomized to receive either video or pamphlet education about skin cancer.
