1/4. Possible isotretinoin-induced keloids in a patient with Behcet's disease.isotretinoin-induced keloid formation has occasionally been reported in patients who have undergone dermabrasion or laser treatment. This report describes a man with Behcet's disease (BD) who was prescribed isotretinoin for nodulocystic acne. After approximately 8 weeks of this treatment, the patient developed extensive keloids. There are no previous reports of possible isotretinoin-induced keloid formation in the setting of BD. This article discusses possible connections between BD, keloid formation and isotretinoin, which may be manifested in this case.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = dermabrasion (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/4. The prevention and management of postdermabrasion complications.The complications of keloids, pigment changes, loss of skin texture, and enlarged facial pores remain a problem with dermabrasion patients. Their occurrence can be reduced by proper patient selection, proper dermabrasion technique, proper wound management, and prompt treatment. Keloids are rapidly resolved with the use of flurandrenolide tape covered with positive-pressure chin-strap dressings. Streaks of hyperpigmentation are lightened with a combination of sunscreen, opaque makeup, tretinoin, and hydroquinone lotions. The loss of skin texture can be prevented by not abrading too deeply and avoiding subsequent bacterial contamination during wound healing. However, enlarged skin pores in the central portion of the face and hypopigmentation can be permanent complications.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6keywords = dermabrasion (Clic here for more details about this article) |

4/4. Atypical keloids after dermabrasion of patients taking isotretinoin.Six patients underwent dermabrasion while on or having recently completed isotretinoin (Accutane) therapy. All patients developed keloids in atypical locations; the keloids eventually responded to topical or intralesional steroid therapy. retinoids have a modulatory effect on connective tissue metabolism, including suppression of collagenase, which may enhance keloid formation. dermabrasion should be delayed in those patients taking or recently on isotretinoin therapy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = dermabrasion (Clic here for more details about this article) |
