Therapies

The document from 2010 presents a variety of dermatological treatments and their outcomes across several studies and case reports. It includes findings such as the moderate impact of scabies on quality of life in 96 patients, successful treatment of keratoacanthoma with 5% imiquimod cream, and the use of traditional Chinese medicine for dermatological conditions. It also reports on the treatment of infantile eczema with Chinese herbs, the use of ultra-pulsed carbon dioxide laser for pyogenic granuloma, and the 70.15% effectiveness of autologous cultured melanocytes in treating acral vitiligo in 38 cases. Platelet Rich Plasma therapy showed a 71.4% complete epithelization rate in seven cases of ulcerative skin lesions, and a new surgical treatment for bromhidrosis was described. Additionally, the document covers the successful use of photodynamic therapy for a verrucous epidermal nevus in a 9-year-old, the treatment of nipple eczema with topical tacrolimus, and the use of plasmapheresis for severe cutaneous adverse reactions. It also mentions the limited effectiveness of finasteride for female pattern hair loss in 18 women, the potential of topical PDT for nevus sebaceus, and the comparison of 308 nm excimer light and laser for vitiligo treatment. The document concludes with a 24-week study on acne treatment, showing that low-dose treatment was most suitable for moderate acne, with the highest patient satisfaction and lowest relapse rates in the intermediate dosing group. Other treatments discussed include phlebectomy for facial reticular veins, voriconazole with flucytosine for cryptococcal meningitis, interpolation flap reconstruction for basal cell carcinoma, and a cosmetic formulation as a tolerable alternative to adapalene gel for acne vulgaris.
