Solar elastosis

In conclusion, dermal effects, particularly chloracne, are the most commonly reported effects of 2,3,7,8-TCDD exposure in humans because they are easy to identify. Additional information is needed to determine the level and frequency of 2,3,7,8-TCDD exposure needed to cause chloracne and whether individual susceptibility plays a role in the etiology. Also, chloracne in humans indicates CDD exposure, but lack of chloracne does not indicate that exposure has not occurred. Other dermal conditions reported include hypertrichosis, hyperpigmentation, and solar elastosis. 

Solar elastosis often affects the legs if they are frequently exposed to the sun, which is the case with women who wear skirts. The skin between the knee and the malleolus is sometimes affected by visible elastosis that can be improved by combining abrasion and Easy Phytic solu-... 

Solar elastosis (skin with a cobblestone appearance) this is not the best indication for TCA. 

Photoaging solar keratoses, pigmentary lesions, epidermal atrophy and solar elastosis are indications for resorcinol if their histological origins are not too deep. 

Dermal (10-15%) - no enhancement of color contrast Mixed (20%) - both enhancement and no color accentuation in different areas on the same patient Indeterminate - in very dark-skinned individuals, one cannot see the lesions under Wood s light Histopathologically and ultrastructurally, normal skin presents with melanin confined to the basal layer. Melasma lesions have more melanin in the whole epidermis, with increased number of melanocytes and widely dispersed melanosomes in the keratinocytes [19, 77, 126]. Dermal solar elastosis is likewise evident in lesional areas [19, 77]. 

A 15-year-old girl developed cheilitis and erythema over the sun-exposed areas of her body after taking voriconazole for 5 weeks for a severe fungal infection [50 ]. The lesions improved transiently before subsequent photodamage occurred to the backs of her forearms, the backs of her hands, and face. Voriconazole was withdrawn once the fungal infection had completely resolved and her blisters, erythema, and cheilitis resolved. However, she was left with solar elastosis, multiple lentigines, and ephelides on sun-exposed areas.
