Background: Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition associated with four distinct subtypes: erythematotelangiectatic, papulopustular, phymatous, and ocular. Purpose: To review the different kinds of management for all subtypes. Methods: We divided rosacea management into three main categories: patient education, skin care, and pharmacological/procedural interventions. Results: Flushing...

BACKGROUND Self-inflicted skin ulcers and scars are often observed in patients with compulsive skin picking. The term "neurotic excoriation" has been used to describe this condition and may or may not coexist with other true skin pathologies, such as acne. The condition poses a diagnostic and treatment challenge because patients often also have an undiagnosed underlying psychologic disorder. ...

As a kind of congenital vascular malformations, Port Wine Stain (PWS) is composed of ectatic venular capillary blood vessels buried within healthy dermis. In clinic, Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL) in visible band (e.g. 585 or 595 nm) together with cryogen spray cooling has become the golden standard for treatment of PWS. However, due to the limited energy penetration depth of the PDL, deeply buried blo...

OBJECTIVE Flash lamp pulsed dye laser (FPDL) was used in a selected group of patients with hypertrophic scars and keloids. Objective of the study was to assess the efficacy on a large number of cases. BACKGROUND DATA FPDL is a nonablative technology, typically used in vascular malformation therapy because of its specificity for hemoglobin. METHODS A total of 59 patients (33 males and 26 fem...
