Lasers in private dermatologic practice.

The author has collected and evaluated data from 464 cutaneous laser procedures performed on 315 patients over two and one-half years. All procedures were performed under local anesthesia in a private dermatology office. The quality of results obtained, the advantages and disadvantages of laser treatment for the treatment of cutaneous problems, comparison with more conventional therapies, and the future of the laser in dermatologic private practice are discussed.

Cutaneous signs of thyroid disease.

Hyperactivity of the sympathetic nervous system produces many of the skin changes of hyperthyroidism, while the hypometabolic state and the accumulation of mucopolysaccharides in the dermis are responsible for hypothyroid cutaneous manifestations. Acropachy, atopic eczema, localized myxedema and nail changes are associated with thyrotoxicosis. Vitiligo may be seen in all three thyroid diseases of autoimmune origin. Hyperpigmentation, pruritus and urticaria are associated with hyperthyroidism.

Cutaneous consequences of accelerated thyroid function.

General and specific cutaneous findings associated with hyperthyroidism are reviewed. Familiarity with these findings may aid the practitioner in the early diagnosis of thyroid diseases. Several normally idiopathic cutaneous diseases can occasionally be controlled if underlying thyroid disease is considered as a cause, and appropriate testing performed.

Actinic comedonal plaque.

Solitary plaques developed on the sun-exposed and damaged skin of five elderly, fair-skinned individuals. The lesions, erythematous to bluish confluent nodules and plaques with a cribriform appearance and comedone-like structures, presented a distinctive histologic picture of dilated, keratin-filled follicles within a matrix of amorphous, damaged collagen. We believe these cases demonstrate a distinct entity within the realm of actinic dermatoses, for which the name "actinic comedonal plaque" seems appropriate.
