Filter by:This study was to evaluate the effectiveness of standard therapy for acne vulgaris (AV) based on the clinical practice guidelines (CPG) in Indonesia. The main questions it aims to answer were: 1. How is the clinical characteristics of patients with AV in dr.Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital? 2. How is the effectiveness of standard therapy for AV based on the CPG in Indonesia in reducing the number of non-inflammatory, inflammatory, and total lesions and degree of acne severity? The clinical pratice guideline (CPG) used for analysis was CPG by dr.Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital 2017 in line with the date of patient visit. Data of 724 patients with AV in dr.Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital as recorded in the medical records were assessed for eligibility. Data of 3-month-follow-up data of included subjects were collected and analyzed.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of the skin balancing gel cream and examine the effects it has on the skin microbiome of individuals with non-cystic acne prone skin.
Acne vulgaris (AV) is a disease of the pilosebaceous unit that causes noninflammatory lesions (open and closed comedones), inflammatory lesions (papules, pustules, and nodules), and varying degrees of scarring. The key pathogenic processes includes alteration of follicular keratinization that leads to comedones; increased and altered sebum production under androgen control; follicular colonization by Propionibacterium acnes; . The role of topical antibiotics in treating acne is well established. Clindamycin is a topical antibiotic which has been widely used in treatment of acne for many decades. The extensive use of antibiotics in acne has lead to the development of resistance to antimicrobial therapy. Dapsone is known to have antibacterial as well as anti-inflammatory action which may help in reduction of acne.
The purpose of this study is to evaluates how probiotics and dietary supplementation with an herbal powder can shift the gut microbiome in those with non-cystic acne vulgaris.
Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory skin disease involving the pilosebaceous unit, affecting approximately 95% of adolescents and young adults. Follicular hyperkeratinization, increased sebum production, androgen hormones and inflammation play a role in the pathogenesis of acne. Androgens (Testosterone, DHEA-S and DHT) play a role in the development of acne, hypertrophy of the sebaceous glands and increased sebum production. Androgen receptors are located in the basal layer of the sebaceous glands keratinocytes and they are located in the outer sheath of the hair follicle. These receptors are responsible for the proliferative action of keratinocytes. The relationship between androgen hormones and acne in women and prepubertal children is well known. Many studies have shown a strong association between acne and hyperandrogenism in women. Systemic isotretinoin therapy can be used in patients with severe acne vulgaris who do not respond to topical and oral antibiotic treatments. In recent studies, it has been shown that systemic isotretinoin used in acne treatment changes many hormones such as GnRH, FSH, LH, Estrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone, TSH, T4 and Prolactin and causes side effects such as menstrual irregularity and hirsutism. However, data on the effect of oral isotretinoin on adrenal and sex hormones are contradictory. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the effect of oral isotretinoin on adrenal steroid and sex hormone levels and to compare it with a healthy control. Isotretinoin treatment is started in acne vulgaris patients at a dose of 0.5-0.8mg/kg/day. The total cumulative dose is 120 mg/kg. At baseline and at the 3rd month of isotretinoin treatment, 17-OH Progesterone, DHEA, DHEAS, Androstenedione, Aldosterone, Testosterone, Dihydrotestosterone, Estradiol, 17-OH Pregnenolone, Androsterone, Cortisol, Corticosterone, 11-Degesterone, 21, -Deoxycortisol, Pregnenolone, 11-Deoxycorticostreone hormones will be evaluated with LCMS/MS technique. In addition, the FSH, LH, Prolactin, Estrogen, Testosterone, free testosterone, DHEA-s, SHBG, TSH, T4 hormone levels of the patients will be evaluated by ELISA method. In the baseline 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 6th months of the treatment and 3 months after the treatment, the patients' height, weight, body mass index measurements, VAS scoring of patient treatment satisfaction, Global Acne Severity Score, Acne Quality of Life Score, and Modified Ferriman Gallwey Score for hirsutism will be recorded. The side effects of isotretinoin such as menstrual irregularity, increased hair growth, and cheilitis, dryness of the oral mucosa, skin dryness, dermatitis seen in patients during treatment will be recorded. *Hormone tests were performed on 2th and 3rd days of menstruation
The investigators propose a randomized, double-blind control trial study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the optimized topical combination ME of the investigated drugs in the treatment of acne vulgaris containing DAP-FLU in comparison with standard therapy of Adapalene at Mansoura University Dermatology and Andrology Outpatient Clinic.
Mechanism-based acne treatment for transgender patients receiving testosterone currently does not exist and is an unmet medical need. This study explores clascoterone to treat testosterone induced acne. Many treatments we use to treat acne in females cannot be used in transgender males because they interfere with hormone therapy. Androgens have been associated with the development of acne vulgaris. Recently, a topical androgen receptor inhibitor cream (clascoterone) has been FDA-approved for the treatment of acne. However, clinical trials of clascoterone have excluded participants on exogenous hormones. Clascoterone has been hypothesized to be effective in the treatment of acne in transgender male participants on masculinizing hormone therapy, but it has never been studied or reported in the literature.
The aim of the study is to: 1. Evaluation of serum microRNA in acne vulgaris and compare to control group 2. Evaluate correlation with acne vulgaris severity
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare Clear Skin Fomula Supplement to Placebo in healthy men and women ages 18-40 to mitigate mild to moderate non-cystic acne over the course of 12 weeks. Participants will be asked to take a daily supplement, have photos of their face taken and answer questionnaires related to their acne.
Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory skin disease affecting the pilosebaceous unit. It is clinically characterized by comedones, papules, pustules, nodules, cysts and scarring on the face and trunk. The severity of the disease ranges from mild comedonal acne to severe nodulocystic acne which can be permanently disfiguring.In addition to the physical lesions, the disease can have a profound psychologic impact, contributing to low self-esteem, depression and anxiety.In addition to the physical lesions, the disease can have a profound psychologic impact, contributing to low self-esteem, depression and anxiety.
