Abstract Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare but aggressive non‐melanoma skin cancer with significant morbidity and mortality. Treatment of choice for primary and locoregional MCC is complete surgical removal with sentinel lymphonodectomy and post‐surgical radiotherapy of tumor basin and locoregional lymph nodes. In non‐resectable and advanced tumors, drug therapy is indicated. While cytotoxic chemotherapy has resulted in higher response rates, overall survival remained nearly unaffected. With...
Abstract Various cutaneous manifestations have been observed in patients with COVID‐19 infection. Herpes Zoster is a viral skin disease caused by varicella zoster that remains dormant in the dorsal root ganglia of cutaneous nerves following a primary chicken pox infection. In this report we describe two cases COVID infection who first presented with herpes zoster. We are here by suggesting that the clinical presentation of HZ at the time of the current pandemic even in patients giving mild or no...
Abstract This study aims to determine the efficacy of omalizumab, a humanized monoclonal anti‐immunoglobulin E antibody, in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) refractory to conventional therapy, together with the evaluation of serum CRP levels. All the patients with a diagnosis of CSU who were continuously treated with omalizumab (300 mg/month) for at least 3 months between June 2016 and July 2019 were included in this study. Urticaria activity score (UAS‐7) was used for assessment...
Abstract Keloids are fibroproliferative skin disorders characterized by the progressive deposition of collagen. Recently, extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) has been used to treat pathologic scars. Herein, we conducted a study to compare the efficacy of intralesional injections (ILIs) of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) used alone, or in combination with ESWT for keloids. Forty patients were randomized equally into two groups in this 12‐week comparative clinical trial. Group A was treated with...
Abstract Cholinergic urticaria (CholU) decreases affected individuals’ quality of life because they must avoid stimuli including exercise and hot bathing. Although case reports have indicated that regular sweating activities are effective for CholU with hypohidrosis, little evidence is available. This retrospective medical record review examined CholU patients who received any form of treatment at our hospital. Twenty‐seven cases (78% men; median age 22 years, range 12‐70 years) were analyzed. Fourteen...
Abstract Recalcitrant alopecia areata is not uncommon in clinical practice and some patients experienced either treatment failure or recurrence with most of the conventional therapies. Several studies have evaluated the efficacy of cryotherapy in the treatment of alopecia areata with controversial results. This study aimed to optimize the ideal timing of liquid nitrogen cryospraying to achieve the most favorable results. A total of 75 patients with recalcitrant alopecia areata were treated with...
Abstract It has been reported that dermatology practices may be a vector for SARS‐CoV‐2 transmission and elective cases should be postponed during the pandemic period. In this context, studies on the change of patient profile in Dermatology outpatient clinic have been conducted. However, there was no study in the literature about dermatology consultations during the pandemic period. 147 Dermatology consultation cases in the era of COVID‐19 pandemic between March 11, 2020 and May 4, 2020 were retrospectively...
Abstract Eosinophilic fasciitis (EF) is a rare connective tissue disease characterized by increased peripheral blood eosinophils and diffuse fasciitis, generalized morphea (GM) is a subtype of localized scleroderma, and IgA nephropathy is a chronic glomerulonephritis caused by abnormal deposition of IgA in the mesangial area of the glomeruli. We describe a 49‐year‐old male patient with hard skin, cutaneous hyperpigmentation, and proteinuria. The patient had suffered from a long disease course of...
Abstract The novel coronavirus disease (COVID‐19) has limited traditional consultation and minimized healthcare access. Teledermatology has come to the rescue in this situation by extending consultation for non‐essential conditions to the comfort of patient's homes. This limits the risk of exposure of both doctors and patients to SARS‐Cov‐2. And while there is a reported increase in teleconsultations during the ongoing pandemic, there are some demerits that avert the shift to virtualized healthcare....
Abstract Psoriasis is a common chronic skin disease characterized by epidermal proliferation and inflammation. Pustular psoriasis (PP) is one of the most serious and refractory. The number, differentiation, and function of B10 cells in patients with PP were analyzed, and the relationship between B10 cells and PP, an autoimmune disease, was explored. We established an Imiquimod psoriasis mouse model and subcutaneously injected B10 cells as treatment. We found that the proportion of B10 cells in the...
