Objective: To evaluate the characteristics of telogen effluvium in COVID-19.

The effect of simplified autologous melanocyte and keratinocyte grafting on the treatment of refractory vitiligo.

Introduction: Vitiligo is a disease with a high prevalence and burden that has a negative impact on various aspects of life. Because most cases of vitiligo are not responsive to medical treatment, we performed simplified autologous melanocyte and keratinocyte grafting to treat refractory stable vitiligo.

Methods: This interventional study was carried out on 32 patients (16 females and 16 males).

Outcome of staged excision with pathologic margin control in high-risk basal cell carcinoma of the head region.

Background: High-risk basal cell carcinoma involves a significant rate of basal cell carcinoma that requires Mohs micrographic surgery for definitive treatment. Staged excision with pathologic margin control is a simple, accessible, and curative procedure suggested for the treatment of high-risk basal cell carcinoma.

Objective: To evaluate the results of staged excision of high-risk basal cell carcinoma in the head region.

A comparison of effectiveness and cosmetic outcome of two methods for ingrown toenail: partial nail matricectomy using CO2 laser versus lateral nail fold excision.

Background: Ingrown toenail (IGT) is a common nail disorder that causes discomfort and interferes with most activities. Most cases of IGT require procedural intervention. This study was performed to compare the treatment and cosmetic outcome of partial nail matricectomy (PNM) using CO2 laser versus lateral nail fold excision (LNFE).

Well-Circumscribed Localized-Rhinophyma as a Very Rare Presentation of Rhinophyma.

Introduction: Rhinophyma is an uncommon subtype of rosacea, the clinical diagnosis of which is straightforward. However, localized, especially well-circumscribed, rhinophyma is a very rare condition, which requires a paraclinical assessment to be accurately diagnosed.

Case Report: We report a 48-year-old male patient who presented with a well-circumscribed and dark red tumoral mass of 28 mm in diameter and smooth consistency in the right nasal ala.

Revision of a depressed scar across a relaxed skin tension line by punch elevation, filler injection, and fractional CO₂ laser.

Revision of a depressed scar is more challenging because it does not follow the relaxed skin tension line (RSTL). Several measures have been suggested for revision of this type of scar, and they have a number of limitations, complications, advantages, and disadvantages. A 45-year-old woman presented with a depressed scar measuring approximately 45 × 2.

The Correlation of Acne with Anxiety after Rhinoplasty.

Introduction: Rhinoplasty is one of the most common cosmetic surgeries occasionally associated with complications, such as acne lesions. Anxiety reportedly leads to the emergence or exacerbation of acne lesions.

Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 147 patients undergoing rhinoplasty.

Clinico-mycological profile of tinea capitis and its comparative response to griseofulvin versus terbinafine.

Background And Purpose: Tinea capitis is the most common superficial mycosis in children. This disease is a contagious infection with worldwide distribution and is occasionally associated with permanent alopecia. The treatment of this infection usually requires the administration of appropriate oral antifungal agents.

Combination of CO2 laser therapy and curettage for sebaceous gland hyperplasia.

Introduction: Sebaceous hyperplasia (SH) is a common cutaneous disorder associated with cosmetic problems. Some optional treatments and various laser devices have been reported to be effective, but recurrence and cosmetic outcome have not been resolved.

Methods: This interventional study was performed on SH lesions.

Comparison of the risk factors and HPV types in males with anogenital warts with and without involvement of the urethral meatus in western Iran.

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV)-induced lesions rarely develop in the urethral meatus (UM); however, their eradication can be problematic.

Methods: A total of 22 patients with anogenital warts (AGWs) in the UM region and 22 patients with AGWs located at other anatomical sites were included in this cross-sectional study. The presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) types in biopsy samples was determined using the HPV Easy typing kit (GenID GmbH, Germany).

Serum lipid profile and clinical characteristics of patients with xanthelasma palpebrarum.

Background: Although many factors are involved in the etiology of xanthelasma palpebrum, lipid disorder is strongly associated with its induction. Xanthelasma palpebrum, the most common type of xanthoma, usually presents in middle-aged females and results in aesthetic problems.

Objective: To evaluate thelipid profile and important clinical aspects of xanthelasma palpebrum patients.

Clinical Features and Drug Characteristics of Patients with Generalized Fixed Drug Eruption in the West of Iran (2005-2014).

Background. Generalized fixed drug eruption is a specific variant of fixed drug eruption with multifocal lesions. Diagnosis of this drug reaction is straightforward, but occasionally recognition of the causative drug is not possible.

Recipient site preparation for epidermal graft in stable vitiligo by a special fraise.

Background: The only approach used in the refractory lesions of stable vitiligo is the surgical supply of melanocytes. Suction Blistering Epidermal Graft is one of the most common and effective techniques. There are multiple modalities, including the motor-driven diamond fraise, for the preparation of recipient sites in suction blistering epidermal graft with different repigmentation rates and complications.

Superpulsed CO 2 Laser with Intraoperative Pathologic Assessment for Treatment of Periorbital Basal Cell Carcinoma Involving Eyelash Line.

Background. Periorbital basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is considered a high risk case because it is associated with high rate of recurrence and complication. Superpulsed CO2 laser with intraoperative pathologic assessment could be an alternative and appropriate treatment for periocular lesions where Mohs micrographic surgery is not available.

Surgical removal of neglected soft tissue foreign bodies by needle-guided technique.

Introduction: The phenomenon of neglected foreign bodies is a significant cause of morbidity in soft tissue injuries and may present to dermatologists as delayed wound healing, localized cellulitis and inflammation, abscess formation, or foreign body sensation. Localization and removal of neglected soft tissue foreign bodies (STFBs) is complex due to possible inflammation, indurations, granulated tissue, and fibrotic scar. This paper describes a simple method for the quick localization and (surgical) removal of neglected STFBs using two 23-gauge needles without ultrasonographic or fluoroscopic guidance.

Treatment and cosmetic outcome of superpulsed CO2 laser for basal cell carcinoma.

Introduction: There are many different treatments for basal cell carcinoma, but the most common is surgical excision. CO2 laser could be an alternative treatment for many situations in which other treatments are not possible or available.

Methods: This follow-up study was performed on 74 (40 female and 34 male) patients with a total of 113 basal cell carcinoma lesions that were pathologically documented.

Delayed gel indurations as an adverse effect of polyacrylamide filler and its easy treatment.

Background. The more increasing use of permanent soft tissue fillers such as polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAAG) for aesthetic purposes, the more adverse events resulting from them are reported. Occasionally, nonserious complications and misdiagnosis result in unnecessary surgeries and sequels.
