    Treatment of Angiokeratoma of Fordyce with Long-Pulse Neodymium-Doped Yttrium Aluminium Garnet Laser
    (WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, INC, 2009) Oezdemir, Mustafa; Baysal, Ibrahim; Engin, Burhan; Oezdemir, Suna
    Angiokeratomas are typically asymptomatic, blue-to-red papules with a scaly surface located on the scrotum, shaft of penis, labia majora, inner thigh, or lower abdomen. The treatment of angiokeratomas may be necessary if they bleed and lead to patient anxiety. To determine the safety and effectiveness of long-pulse 1,064 neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd:YAG) laser for the treatment of angiokeratomas of Fordyce. Ten consecutive patients with angiokeratoma of Fordyce were treated with long-pulse Nd:YAG laser in two to six sessions. The three authors independently assessed improvement of the lesion based on digital photographs taken before the treatment and 2 months after the end of the treatment. Significant (> 75%, < 100%) and moderate (> 50%, < 75%) improvement was seen in six and two patients, respectively. Complete improvement was achieved in one patient. Transient swelling, purpura, bleeding, and some pain in the treated area were noted in all patients as short-term side effects. There were no permanent side effects. The long-pulse Nd:YAG laser is a highly effective and safe treatment for angiokeratoma of Fordyce. The authors have indicated no significant interest with commercial supporters.

    Treatment of chronic urticaria with narrowband ultraviolet B phototherapy: a randomized controlled trial
    (ACTA DERMATO-VENEREOLOGICA, 2008) Engin, Burhan; Oezdemir, Mustafa; Balevi, Ali; Mevlitoglu, Inci
    Data regarding narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy in patients with chronic urticaria is limited. The aim of this open, controlled study was to determine whether NB-UVB is effective in treating urticaria in combination with antihistamin. A total of 81 patients with chronic urticaria were recruited, 48 of whom were randomized into the NB-UVB plus antihistamine group. The control group (n = 33) received only antihistamine. Patients were assessed using the urticaria activity score and a visual analogue score (VAS). The 2 groups were evaluated at the same time-points: at treatment sessions 10 and 20 and at follow-up 3 months post-treatment. The reduction in urticaria activity score and VAS was statistically significant (p<0.05 for both groups). When comparing the groups, the mean urticaria activity score was significantly lower in the NB-UVB group at session 10 (22.6 vs. 27.3) and session 20 (17.4 vs. 20.7). Statistically significant differences were also noted in VAS between the 2 groups (p<0.01) at 3 months post-treatment. We conclude that NB-UVB may be an effective complementary treatment for patients with chronic urticaria.
