Skin Cancer

6.5K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands

5.2K
A sebaceous gland is a type of oil gland found almost all over the skin ( except palms and soles) and helps lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair. Most sebaceous glands are associated with hair follicles. They generate and excrete sebum, a mixture of lipids, onto the skin surface, thereby naturally lubricating the dry and dead layer of keratinized cells of the stratum corneum, keeping it pliable.
These glands that produce the oils on the skin and hair are holocrine glands. The mature...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Epidemiology
  • Asian dermatology

Background:

  • Seborrhoeic dermatitis (SD) is prevalent in Asia, yet large epidemiological studies are scarce.
  • Potential etiological differences and distinct clinical characteristics of Asian skin necessitate region-specific approaches.
  • Standardized diagnostic criteria and grading systems are needed for effective SD management in Asia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define the landscape of seborrhoeic dermatitis in Asia.
  • To develop a consensus-based treatment algorithm for SD in Asian adults and children.
  • To address the need for standardized diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines.

Main Methods:

  • A consensus meeting was convened with experts from ten Asian countries and Italy.
  • A comprehensive treatment algorithm was developed based on expert consensus.
  • Literature review on SD epidemiology and treatment in Asia was considered.

Main Results:

  • The consensus group established a treatment algorithm to guide clinicians in managing SD.
  • Topical antifungal agents and topical corticosteroids are effective for most SD cases.
  • Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents with antifungal properties offer a viable therapeutic option.

Conclusions:

  • A standardized treatment algorithm can aid clinicians in managing seborrhoeic dermatitis in Asia.
  • Topical antifungals and corticosteroids remain primary treatments for SD.
  • Alternative therapies like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents with antifungal properties are valuable options.
