Clinically, it presents as a pink or brownish papule, usually solitary, in the extremities of young adults. On histology, it is characterized by a proliferation of epithelioid or spindle cell melanocytes embedded in a fibrous stroma, where a dense proliferation of small vessels is evident. The differential diagnosis with malignant melanoma can be difficult, particularly with the desmoplastic variant or with those with marked regression. Its behavior is benign, as suggested by the absence of local recurrences or distant metastases during long-term follow-up.","PeriodicalId":238976,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Portuguese Society of Dermatology and Venereology","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128427920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"What Role for Carboxytherapy in the Treatment of Acne Scars?","authors":"Joana Peixoto, Joana Resse Lascasas, Sofia Vedor","doi":"10.29021/spdv.78.4.1234","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.29021/spdv.78.4.1234","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Acne is an extremely prevalent condition. The healing of active acne lesions may result in the development of scars. Atrophic scars are the main scars caused by acne and result from the degradation of collagen fibers. Carboxytherapy is a minimally invasive method that involves the application of carbon dioxide subcutaneously through small infiltrations in the skin, which improves scar tissue by increasing collagen's deposition and reorganization. The aim of this study is to review the role of carboxytherapy in the treatment of atrophic facial scars, alone or in combination with other techniques. \u0000Methods: A literature search was conducted on several databases using MeSH terms “carboxytherapy”, “carbon dioxide/therapy” and “wounds” for guidelines, systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials, and observational studies, published over the last 20 years in Portuguese, English or Spanish languages. \u0000Results: A total of 129 articles were retrieved, of which four experimental studies and one case series were selected. Comparing the techniques of microneedling and carboxytherapy, both were considered non-invasive treatment modalities with equal effectiveness, tolerability and safety, resulting in similar histopathological changes. On the other hand, despite the improvement of acne scars in both treatment modalities, the results were significantly better in favor of carbon dioxide fractional laser, despite having more side effects than carboxytherapy. When these techniques are combined and carboxytherapy is used as a subcision method, there is a more marked and rapid improvement in the appearance of acne scars. \u0000Discussion: Carboxytherapy is a promising modality in the treatment of atrophic acne scars, alone or in combination with other techniques.","PeriodicalId":238976,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Portuguese Society of Dermatology and Venereology","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124886186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This increased incidence is due to several factors including chronic ultraviolet radiation exposure, human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, immunosuppressive medication, among others. Primary prevention is crucial, because not only are cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas more frequent in SOTR, but they are also more aggressive and have therefore a worse prognosis. Newer immunosuppressive drugs are associated with a smaller risk of developing CSCC, but they can have more adverse events, prompting patients to abandon therapy. Concerning treatment options for CSCC, they range from surgery, radiotherapy, and systemic therapy, although there are few studies in SOTR concerning the use of immunotherapy and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":238976,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Portuguese Society of Dermatology and Venereology","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123208233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
