keratosis/headache

A previously unreported method to relieve excessive plantargrade pressure which may create an intractable plantar keratoma associated with metatarsal head pain is presented. This method is referred to as an intramedullary metatarsal decompression with condylectomy and is performed through a dorsal

BACKGROUND Five per cent 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) cream is a well-established treatment for actinic keratosis (AK), and ingenol mebutate gel (IMB) is a novel topical field-directed therapy. OBJECTIVE To compare the tolerability and safety of IMB with that of 5-FU for the treatment of facial

139 patients with vitiligo of long duration were treated with oral 8-MOP and UVA. 22 patients had focal and 117 generalized vitiligo. 27 had vitiligo on the skin of their face and/or neck and 58 on their hands and/or feet. Vitiligo of the face and/or neck responded very well to the treatment, 14 of

Imiquimod can be used to treat superficial basal cell carcinoma, actinic keratosis, genital warts, and other skin conditions. The adverse events associated with this topical agent commonly include application site irritation, primarily erythema, as well as headache, myalgia, and fatigue. There are

5-fluorouracil, a fluoropyrimidine antineoplastic drug, is used to topically treat actinic keratoses. Local skin reactions to the medication are common and anticipated. However, severe adverse events from topical 5-fluorouracil are rare and unexpected. A 69-year-old man with a lower lip actinic

OBJECTIVE Our purpose was to conduct a double-blinded randomized trial of difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) at 0.125, 0.5 gm/m2, versus placebo in the treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grades 2 to 3. A promising phase I study has shown histopathologic responses at these dose

Picato (ingenol mebutate) was recently marketed for local treatment of actinic keratosis (AK). Compared to alternative creams and gels, Picato is a quick and efficient treatment, which is applied for only two to three days. A patient developed a bullous reaction to the gel after a single

Sweet syndrome, first described in 1964 by Robert Douglas Sweet, is an acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis. Neutrophilic dermatoses consist of a group of non-infectious disorders that are characterized by neutrophilic infiltration of the skin (epidermis, dermis or hypodermis) with or without true

Cryosurgery is a highly effective treatment for a broad range of benign skin problems. With appropriate instruction and supervised experience, family physicians can master the technique quickly. Cryosurgery is best suited for use in patients with light skin and for treatment of lesions in most

BACKGROUND Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is increasingly used for treatment of actinic keratoses (AKs) but is a cumbersome procedure. A thin self-adhesive patch (PD P 506 A) containing 5-aminolaevulinic acid (5-ALA) was developed to facilitate PDT. OBJECTIVE To investigate efficacy and safety of the
