INTRODUCTION: Many studies have proved the role, efficacy and safety profile of intralesional bleomycin in the management of hypertrophic scars and keloids.1 Liposomes, by virtue of their lipid bilayer, have potential to enhance the delivery of drug to the desired area. Drugs encapsulated in liposomes are expected to be transported without rapid degradation and minimum side effects to the recip...

Lipomas are common benign tumours of fat cells. In most cases, surgical excision is curative and simple to perform; however, such a procedure requires general anaesthesia and may be associated with delayed wound healing, seroma formation and nerve injury in deep and intramuscular tumours. The objective of this study was to evaluate treatment of subcutaneous, subfascial or intermuscular lipomas ...

The histological comparison between mature and regressed keratoacanthomas (KA) reve...

A variety of revision treatments available for managing different types scars, including laser therapy, chemical peeling, cryotherapy, dermabrasion, soft tissue augmentation, intralesional steroid injection, and surgical excision. Rhytides, dyschromias, specific kinds scars are among the epidermal dermal lesions that successfully treated using erbium YAG lasers. In this study, use Erbium to tre...

background warts are benign tumors of the skin and mucosa and are caused by human papilloma virus (hpv). they are one of the most common skin diseases found mainly in children and adolescents. although most of the warts disappear spontaneously or respond to the usual therapeutic measures, resistant forms of the warts impose a problem in dermatology. intralesional injection of bleomycin has been...

the main object of this study was to evaluate the treatment of the patients at early stages of nodular form of leishmaniasis by intralesional injection of sodium stibogluconate (pentostam). the study shows that the method recommended by who expert committee gives satisfactory results in nodular form in iran.

Verruca vulgaris is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infections. Verruca in the external auditory canal (EAC) has rarely been reported. A previous case report introduced surgical excision as a treatment for verruca in the EAC. We present a case of verruca vulgaris in both EACs that was successfully treated with an intralesional bleomycin injection. A 32-year-old male patient presented with ...

Although cutaneous leishmaniasis lesions usually heal spontaneously they cause unsightly scarring. This study evaluated a possible new therapy in 38 patients, with 70 lesions, randomly assigned to intralesional injection of ciprofloxacin (0.2%) or intralesional sodium chloride hypertonic solution (7%). After excluding patients who defaulted on treatment, lesions assigned to sodium chloride trea...

Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome is an uncommon disorder which is presented by a triad of lip swelling, facial nerve palsy, and a fissured tongue. A number of treatments have been reported for this syndrome with variable outcomes. We have reported a 38-year-old female patient with lower lip swelling and a fissured tongue on clinical examination. She was also suffering from facial nerve paralysis s...
