Prognosis of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis: A Cohort Study of 216 Patients in an Inpatient Dermatology Department.

Introduction: Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are severe cutaneous adverse reactions. However, only a few studies have investigated the clinicodemographic and laboratory parameters predicting SJS and TEN outcomes other than mortality, such as severe complications or increased length of hospital stays. Our objectives are to identify admission risk factors predictive of severe complications and the accompanying clinical or biochemical markers associated with prolonged hospitalization.

Comparing the Use of 80% Trichloroacetic Acid and 50% Trichloroacetic Acid for the Treatment of Ice Pick Acne Scars.

Background: Chemical reconstruction of skin scars (CROSS) using high concentration trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is a safe, effective, and low-cost treatment for ice pick acne scars.

Objective: To compare the efficacy and effectiveness of the CROSS technique using 50% TCA and 80% TCA for treating ice pick scars.

Materials And Methods: A nonrandomized, single-blinded, and self-controlled clinical trial was undertaken.

Factors associated with mask-induced dermatosis and its impact on patients' quality of life.
