Disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis in an elderly patient undergoing androgen deprivation therapy for advanced prostate cancer: exploring the potential association.

Porokeratosis is a group of chronic dermatoses characterized by the presence of cornoid lamellae. Disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis (DSAP) is a common subtype, presenting as multiple small annular scaly lesions primarily in sun-exposed areas. While previous studies have documented DSAP in prostate cancer patients, the association with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) has not been reported.

Effectiveness and safety of the combination therapy of micro-needling and minoxidil in androgenetic alopecia of Indonesian men: a randomized controlled trial.

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most common type of hair loss. Treatment options are limited. Microneedling, a minimally invasive technique can enhance hair growth by releasing growth factors.

The comparison of metabolic syndrome parameters, trichoscopic and trichoscan characteristics in androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and early-onset androgenetic alopecia (early-onset AGA).

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA), the most common cause of hair loss, is influenced by various risk factors. Metabolic syndrome constitutes a collection of risk factors elevating the risk of cardiovascular disease. The presence of early-onset AGA could serve as an indicator of the emergence of metabolic syndrome, yet to date, no research has examined these parameters in AGA.

The effectiveness and safety of 3% tranexamic acid cream vs. 4% hydroquinone cream for mixed-type melasma in skin of color: a double-blind, split-face, randomized controlled trial.

Introduction: Melasma, a chronic acquired skin pigmentation disorder, is characterized by the presence of irregular-edged brown to gray-brown patches with a symmetrical distribution, primarily on sun-exposed areas such as the face. Topical hydroquinone (HQ) is the gold standard for melasma treatment but has numerous side effects. This study assesses the effectiveness of topical tranexamic acid (TA) as an alternative for melasma treatment.

Factors associated with cognitive impairment and the quality-of-life among COVID-19 survivors working as healthcare workers.

Prolonged physical and mental health changes, known as post-COVID conditions (PCC), could impair the quality-of-life (QoL) of healthcare workers. The aim of this study was to identify factors that contribute to cognitive impairments and QoL among COVID-19 survivors working as healthcare workers. This cross-sectional study involved healthcare workers at Prof.

Scalp microbiome of healthy women wearing hijab compared to those not wearing hijab: a cross-sectional study.

Use of hijab can influence the scalp's condition, including its microbiome. To date there has been no study comparing scalp microbiome in women wearing hijab to that in women not wearing hijab. This was a cross-sectional study conducted from August 2019 to April 2021.

, an atypical herpes lesion in HIV patient: A case report.

Herpes vegetans is a rare form of Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection in immunocompromised patients that clinically presents as a verrucous and hypertrophic lesion. In this case, we present a 36-year-old man with exophytic verrucous masses in the genital area that was initially suspected as a malignancy. Difficulty to properly diagnose the patient resulted in a few failed attempts at treating the lesion.

Fractional carbon dioxide laser for treating hypertrophic scars: A systematic review of randomised trials.

Hypertrophic scars present collagen deposition and an abnormal extracellular matrix that cause abnormal shape changes and limit normal movement. Although fractional carbon dioxide (CO ) laser therapy has provided promising evidence, the improvement of scarring has not been thoroughly reviewed. A systematic review of prospective randomised trial articles collected from PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane and Scopus databases was conducted on 15 March 2020 in accordance with the PRISMA-P statement.

COVID Arm After Moderna Booster in Healthcare Worker: A Case Report.

SARS CoV-2 virus has infected more than 200 million people worldwide and more than 4.4 million in Indonesia. The vaccination program has become one of the solutions launched by many countries globally, including Indonesia, to reduce the transmission rate of COVID-19.

Acne Vulgaris Mimicking Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus in an Adolescent: Report of a Rare Case.

Acne vulgaris is a chronic and self-limiting disorder of the pilosebaceous unit which is primarily seen in adolescents. Acne vulgaris presents as polymorphic lesions, consisting of comedones, papules, pustules, cysts, nodules, scarring, and dyspigmentation. Acneiform presentation of cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) is extremely rare.

Microneedling in the treatment of atrophic scars: A systematic review of randomised controlled trials.

To date, treatment of atrophic acne scars remains a therapeutic challenge for dermatologists, yet there is no standard option on the most effective treatment. Microneedling (MN) is a minimally invasive technology that involves repetitive skin puncture using sterile microneedles to disrupt dermal collagen that connects the scar tissue. Recent studies have demonstrated the potency of MN, such as dermaroller and fractionated microneedle radiofrequency, in the treatment of atrophic scars.

The diagnostic conundrum of Riehl melanosis and other facial pigmentary disorders: a case report with overlapping clinical, dermoscopic, and histopathological features.

Riehl melanosis (RM) is a form of pigmented contact dermatitis that often poses a diagnostic challenge due to overlaps in its clinical, dermoscopic, and histopathological features with other pigmentary disorders. This report highlights significant findings and the proper approach for diagnosis. We present the case of a 47-year-old female with progressive facial hyperpigmentation (irregular, blotchy, grayish patches on the forehead, cheeks, and around the mouth) that acknowledged applying a lightening product before her complaint.

Purpuric nail striae as the initial manifestation in multisystem Langerhans cell histiocytosis.

Nail involvement in Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is very uncommon. We describe a 9-month-old boy with longitudinal purpuric bands, onychodystrophy, and paronychias on his fingernails and toenails, which antedated manifestations of recurrent bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax and elevated transaminases. The diagnosis of nail LCH was then confirmed by immunohistochemistry demonstrating positive S100 and CD1a staining in the epithelium of nail bed tissue.

Correlation of CD4 counts with clinical and histopathological findings in disseminated histoplasmosis: a 10-year retrospective study.

Background: Disseminated cutaneous histoplasmosis (DCH) is one of the manifestations of systemic histoplasmosis infection in HIV-positive patients. Interaction between host immune status and histoplasmosis infection is still poorly understood. It is thought that immune status, represented by CD4 counts, may be correlated with clinical and histopathological findings.

Familial amyloidosis cutis dyschromica in three siblings: report from indonesia.

Amyloidosis cutis dyschromica (ACD) is an extremely rare type of primary cutaneous amyloidosis. To date there are fewer than 40 published cases worldwide; some were reported affecting several family members. Its resemblance to other common pigmentation disorders makes it rarely recognized at first sight.
