In the earlier stages of actinic elastosis, elastic fiber proliferation can be seen in the dermis. As the condition becomes more established, the collagen fibers of the papillary dermis and reticular dermis become increasingly replaced by thickened and curled fibers that form tangled masses and appear basophilic under routine haematoxylin and eosin staining.
Vacuolar interface dermatitis (VAC, also known as liquefaction degeneration, vacuolar alteration or hydropic degeneration) is a dermatitis with vacuolization at the dermoepidermal junction, with lymphocytic inflammation at the epidermis and dermis.
Actinic keratosis (AK), sometimes called solar keratosis or senile keratosis, [1] [2] is a pre-cancerous [3] area of thick, scaly, or crusty skin. [4] [5] Actinic keratosis is a disorder of epidermal keratinocytes that is induced by ultraviolet (UV) light exposure ().
Treatment: “Warts can be treated with over-the-counter products that contain salicylic acid, [which] helps exfoliate dead cells that are infected by the virus. They also can be frozen with over ...
Skin cancer diagnoses in the UK hit record levels of 17,545 a year between 2017-19
There is no confirmed treatment that directly interferes with the disease process. [5] [6] Cosmetic surgery to remove excessive skin has been used to improve aesthetic appearance in PXE patients [5] but because of the non-life-threatening nature of these symptoms, should be used with caution. [6]
Parry–Romberg syndrome (PRS) is a rare disease presenting in early childhood [1] characterized by progressive shrinkage and degeneration of the tissues beneath the skin, usually on only one side of the face (hemifacial atrophy) but occasionally extending to other parts of the body. [2]
Affected cells then proceed to blebbing, and this is followed by pyknosis, in which nuclear shrinkage transpires. [21] In the final step of this pathway cell nuclei are dissolved into the cytoplasm, which is referred to as karyolysis. [21] The second pathway is a secondary form of necrosis that is shown to occur after apoptosis and budding. [21]
