Several combination therapies are being tested nowadays for the treatment of melasma, with promising results. Metformin, an anti-diabetic medication, seems to inhibit melanogenesis by different mechanisms. In addition, there has been a long-term improvement in melasma after microneedle therapy. To evaluate the potential therapeutic role of topical metformin combined with micro-needling for the treatment of melasma. Eighteen patients with melasma received treatment in split-face manner, right side with micro-needling and topical metformin, while the left side was treated with micro-needling and topical placebo for four sessions at 2-week intervals. Hemi-mMASI score was used for the final evaluation of results. The variability pattern in Hemi-mMASI score between both sides revealed significant reduction in the right side (micro-needling + metformin), as compared to the left side (micro-needling + placebo) (2.39 ± 1.42 vs 4.72 ± 1.27, p = 0.001). The effectiveness of topical metformin in the management of melasma could be significantly improved by pretreatment with micro-needling as a combined therapy, without any apparent side effects.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8203,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Dermatological Research","volume":"317 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142613686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Limited data exists on the knowledge of the utilization and tolerance of small-molecule and biologic therapies used for psoriasis in HIV-positive (HIV +) individuals. This study aims to provide an updated review detailing reports of efficacy and safety trends currently reported in the literature. A systematic review of PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase databases between January 2018 and April 2024 was performed, which included original investigations, reviews, case reports, and series of reported individuals with a prior diagnosis of psoriasis, and either a previous, or novel diagnosis of HIV during initiation of treatment. 19 articles with 24 cases were included in this review, including treatments apremilast (n = 5), adalimumab (n = 1), etanercept (n = 2), ustekinumab (n = 4), secukinumab (n = 5), ixekizumab (n = 2), brodalumab (n = 1), guselkumab (n = 1), and risankizumab (n = 3). Treatments were effective at improving cutaneous symptoms of psoriasis in all cases and 2 cases reported alleviation of psoriatic arthritis.
