Lichtenberg figures.

The majority of cutaneous injuries seen in victims struck by lightning are superficial and heal without sequelae. Common cutaneous findings associated with lightning strike include punctate full-thickness burns, linear charring, and contact burns from overlying metal objects. Branching or ferning marks are an uncommon and unusual cutaneous manifestation. These ferning patterns are called Lichtenberg figures. Similar-appearing electrical phenomena were first noted by an 18th-century physicist of the same name. A case report with review of the literature is presented. The histopathologic features of the figures are described for the first time.

The TCA Masque. A new cream formulation used alone and in combination with Jessner's solution.

BACKGROUND: Traditional trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peel results are often unpredictable. "Hot spots," delayed healing, and scarring are not uncommon. OBJECTIVE: To reveal how the TCA Masque, used alone or in combination with Jessner's solution, helps minimize some of these problems while retaining efficacy. RESULTS: The masque's ease of application and its easily visualized one-time application have produced effective, safe, and predictable outcomes. The skin peels uniformly. CONCLUSIONS: The masque is also versatile since it is available in 11% and 16.9% strengths and can be applied thickly or spread thinly on the face, neck, arms, etc. When used alone, dyschromia and fine wrinkles are eliminated; the skin appears freshened. When used in combination with Jessner's and 16.9% TCA Masque a medium depth peel is achieved.

Complications of chemical peeling.

Procedural side effects and complications of chemical peeling should be considered as distinct entities. They are best managed by careful preoperative screening and operative technique and attentive surgical follow-up in the first postoperative week.
