Background: Cellulite 80%-98% of post-pubertal women and results in cutaneous dimples in the affected area.
Aims: Therapies that target collagenous fibrous septae often provide successful outcomes.
Materials & Methods: Collagenase clostridium histolyticum-aaes (CCH) for injection consists of two collagenases which, under physiologic conditions, disrupt collagen structures by hydrolyzing Type I and III collagen.
Results: Subcutaneous CCH was approved in the United States in 2020 for the treatment of moderate-to-severe cellulite in the buttocks of adult women. Although bruising is primarily an aesthetic concern, a conspicuous procedure-induced bruise may limit a patient's social activities and result in hesitation to undergo a similar cosmetic procedure in the future.
Conclusion: The purpose of this review is to describe the available techniques for hastening bruise resolution and how they apply to resolving bruises associated with a CCH injectable.

Minimal methimazole exposure-induced fatal pancytopenia.

This case highlights that refractory pancytopenia leading to death can occur with methimazole treatment even at a very low cumulative dose and after a very short duration of exposure. In addition, the standard treatments to correct the pancytopenia may not be effective and a bone marrow transplant may be required. Current American Thyroid Association guidelines do not recommend routine monitoring of the complete blood count in patients receiving thionamides because of the rapidity of the onset of agranulocytosis and the lack of positive evidence that such monitoring would be useful.
