Actinic lentigines (AL) or age spots, are skin hyperpigmented lesions associated with age and chronic sun exposure. To better understand the physiopathology of AL, we have characterized the inflammation response in AL of European and Japanese volunteers. Gene expression profile showed that in both populations, 10% of the modulated genes in AL versus adjacent non lesional skin (NL), i.

Research Advances in the Treatment of Riehl's Melanosis.

Clin Cosmet Investig Dermatol

May 2023

Department of Dermatology, Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College, Nanchong, People's Republic of China.

Article Synopsis
  • Riehl's melanosis (RM) is a type of contact photodermatitis characterized by rapid gray-brown skin pigmentation, impacting patients' psychological and physical well-being.
  • The exact causes of RM are still unclear, but it is linked to exposure to allergens, with no established standard treatment methods over decades.
  • Recent treatments include conventional drugs, laser therapies (notably Q-switched Nd:YAG laser), and topical bleaching agents, with combined approaches showing positive results in patient outcomes.

2,4,5,6-Tetraaminopyrimidine sulfate (TAPS) is worldwide the most commonly used developer in hair dyes. As skin is the major organ, which is directly exposed to these permanent hair dyes, a comprehensive dermal safety assessment is needed. Hereto, we studied the photosensitization potential and mechanism involved in dermal phototoxicity of TAPS exposed to the dark and UVA/UVB/Sunlight by using different in-chemico and mammalian (HaCaT) cells, as test systems.

Purpose: Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is an extreme hypersensitivity to sunlight causing skin freckling and pigmentary changes because of defective DNA repair mechanisms. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the spectrum of ocular and systemic features in XP at a tertiary eye care center in India over 32 years.

Methods: Data from 418 eyes of 209 patients diagnosed with XP from 1987 to 2018 were reviewed retrospectively for demographics, complaints, ocular features, systemic associations, and their management.
