Article Synopsis
- * Oleogel-S10, derived from birch bark, was recently approved for EB treatment in Europe and the UK after phase 3 studies showed it improves wound healing and reduces the need for frequent dressing changes.
- * A study in Colombia on 13 EB patients found that Oleogel-S10 significantly decreased the area and severity of wounds over 24 months, with patients expressing high satisfaction and improved wellbeing, despite some reports of gauze-related issues.

Objectives: We aimed to investigate the frequency, clinical presentation of esophageal strictures in EB patients, and to ascertain the predictors of re-stenosis.
Background: Intralesional injection of Candida antigen appears to be an effective alternative for the treatment of warts.
Aim: To determine the efficacy and safety of this treatment.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed records of all children who received intralesional injection of Candida antigen at our center from January 2008 to July 2013.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of intralesional propranolol injection in the management of small, noncomplicated infantile hemangiomas (IHs) located in areas of cosmetic concern. A prospective study was performed in six female infants with small, non-complicated IHs in areas of cosmetic concern. The parents had refused oral propranolol or the patients had no response to topical timolol or had relapsed after oral propranolol and the parents refused further systemic treatment.
