Intralesional corticosteroids.

J Am Acad Dermatol

Published: February 1981

Intralesional corticosteroids are commonly used in clinical dermatology. They are an adjunct to topicals and a possible substitution for systemic corticosteroids. Intralesional corticosteroids can be injected via a syringe and needle or with a Dermo-Jet. Although multiple preparations are available, the triamcinolones have more acceptable physical characteristics. Systemic absorption and consequent adverse effects are rarely a problem because of low dosage administered. Local adverse effects (the most prominent of which is atrophy) depend on the strength of the preparation, the quantity used, the area of the body, and the skin condition being treated.

Keloids are characterized by excessive growth of fibrous tissue resulting from abnormal wound-healing processes. They may lead to functional impairments, aesthetic deformities, pruritus, and a decreased quality of life. Various therapies, including intralesional corticosteroid injections, cryotherapy, laser therapy, surgical excision, and radiotherapy, have been used to manage keloids, but the recurrence rates remain high.

Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia Part II: Etiopathogenesis and Management.

J Am Acad Dermatol

January 2025

Dr. Phillip Frost Department of Dermatology and Cutaneous Surgery, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Miami, FL.

Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia (FFA) poses a distinct dermatological challenge with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) at its core, driving follicular cell transformation and fibrotic changes. Genetic studies highlight significant associations, while environmental triggers, such as implicated cosmetic products (sunblock, personal hair care products, and moisturizers), introduce complexity. Managing FFA proves daunting due to its chronic and unpredictable nature.

In cats, mycobacteriosis tends to present in a syndromic manner, with cases either being due to tuberculosis (TB) (in countries where TB is endemic), one of the "leprosy-like" diseases affecting the skin and subcutis, panniculitis caused by infection of subcutaneous tissues generally with rapidly growing Mycobacteria spp. or widely disseminated granulomatous disease, which is usually caused by members of the Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (MAC). Disseminated MAC disease is rare, but when it occurs, usually develops in immunocompromised hosts with defective cell-mediated immunity.

Management of Keloids and Hypertrophic Scars.

Am Fam Physician

December 2024

Full Circle Health, Boise, Idaho.

Keloid and hypertrophic scars are a result of aberrant wound healing responses within the reticular dermis. They are thought to be secondary to the formation of a disorganized extracellular matrix due to excessive fibroproliferative collagen response. Prevention of these scars focuses on avoiding elective or cosmetic procedures such as piercings in patients at high risk, reducing tension across the lesion, and decreasing the inflammatory response.
