A 17-year-old girl with systemic lupus erythematosus presented with painful edematous abdominal striae. She had been treated with systemic steroid for the systemic lupus erythematosus. At the time of presentation, she had abruptly gained 10 kg due to combined lupus nephritis. The histopathologic
The efficacy of NAFL in the treatment of striae distensae (SD) has been demonstrated. Nevertheless, the base for this improvement has not been clarified yet. The aim of this study is to describe in vivo variations occurring in the skin after the treatment, using reflectance confocal microscopy
BACKGROUND
Improving the appearance of striae distensae, particularly striae alba, has remained a challenge due to the limited availability of effective and low-risk treatment options. Fractional photothermolysis, a novel concept in skin rejuvenation, has been reported to be effective in the
BACKGROUND
Current striae treatments are limited in their ability to deliver long-lasting improvements for all skin types. The success of fractional nonablative lasers for surgical scars has been attributed to the controlled wound-healing response stimulated by microscopic columns of epidermal and
The aim of this study is to describe the efficacy and safety of CO2 fractional laser to treat striae distensae (SD), before (T0) and 1 month after the last laser session (T1), in patients following different protocols based on the number of laser sessions, ≤4 and > 4. Efficacy was estimated with
Corticosteroids have been the mainstay for management of cerebral edema caused by leaky angiogenic vessels associated with high-grade brain tumors since the early 1960s. Chronic corticosteroid use can cause iatrogenic Cushing syndrome, which is associated with weight gain and abdominal striae
Herein, we report the case of a 28-year old woman clinically presenting with unclear weight gain over the last years. The patient displayed facial and neck edema in combination with unobtrusive striae distensae. Endocrinological examinations led to the diagnosis of Cushing's disease.
BACKGROUND
Striae Distensae (SD) is a very common dermatologic condition. We evaluated the effectiveness and safety of a novel non-ablative fractional 1565 nm laser (ResurFX) on the appearance of SD.
METHODS
Twelve Caucasian subjects with various stages of SD received three non-ablative laser
Eating disorders are significant causes of morbidity and mortality in adolescent females and young women. They are associated with severe medical and psychological consequences, including death, osteoporosis, growth delay and developmental delay. Dermatologic symptoms are almost always detectable in
