Objective
Martorell hypertensive ischaemic ulcers are often misdiagnosed and can be a clinical and therapeutic challenge. Controversy exists regarding both their underlying triggers and the type of treatment that should be carried out. This study was designed to compare the effectiveness of punch grafting and conventional therapy in pain reduction....
Objective
Venous leg ulcers (VLUs) are considered the most frequent category of hard-to-heal limb ulcers. Although evidence-based care of VLUs suggests that compression therapy plays a pivotal role in the standard of care, patient adherence is considered low, with at least 33% non-compliance, either due to perceived problems from clinicians regardi...
Objectif
La greffe en pastille est une technique largement utilisée dans notre pratique quotidienne. Elle peut accélérer l’épithélialisation des ulcères de jambe veineux (UJ). Compte tenu des résultats cliniques très positifs observés lorsque nous traitions les UJ avec des pansements à base de TLC- NOSF (UrgoStart) associés à un système de compress...

Compression therapy is the basis for treating the cause of venous ulcers and preventing recurrence. Various systems are currently available for applying compression, and adapting them to patients’ needs can improve adherence to treatment. Understanding the principles that underlie compression therapy is essential for success. Although this paper fo...
Introduction:
Posttraumatic ulcers secondary to age-related arteriolosclerosis may be included in the clinic-histopathological spectrum of the Martorell hypertensive ischemic ulcer. Histologically, they both present occlusive subcutaneous arteriolosclerosis. Considering these similarities, they could benefit from the same treatment.
Case report:...

En la actualidad disponemos de diferentes sistemas y estrategias para adaptar la terapia compresiva a las necesidades de cada paciente y aumentar su adherencia al tratamiento. Es fundamental el conocimiento de lo...
Punch grafting is a traditional technique used to promote epithelialization of hard-to-heal wounds. The main purpose of this observational study was to conduct a cost-utility analysis (CUA) and a cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) comparing punch grafting (n = 46) with usual care (n = 34) for the treatment of chronic wounds in an outpatient speciali...
Objective
Punch-grafting is a traditional technique to enhance wound healing, which has been associated with significant pain reduction. There are few studies measuring pain reduction after punch grafting, our study was designed to measure this outcome.
Method
Patients with hard-to-heal wounds treated with punch grafting were included in a single...

Martorell hypertensive ischemic ulcer can be a real clinical and therapeutic challenge. Controversy exists regarding both the underlying triggers of the disease and the type of treatment that should be established. Early skin grafting has been suggested as an effective treatment to enhance pain reduction and wound healing in these patients. The aut...
Las heridas crónicas disminuyen la calidad de vida de los pacientes que las padecen, incidiendo significativamente en su estado de salud y agravando su pronóstico general. La elevada incidencia y prevalencia de las úlceras en pierna, así como su alta cronicidad y recidiva, suponen un impacto psico-socio-sanitario elevado, con un alto gasto sanitari...
Case report:
The authors present a case of a vulvar pressure ulcer secondary to the use of a perineal post to provide countertraction during surgical repair of a hip fracture. Diagnosis was made after excluding other possible causes with anatomopathological and microbiological analysis. Wound care was based on relieving local pressure.

Introducción
El acné juvenil es una condición muy prevalente en la población adolescente. A pesar de su alta prevalencia, es escaso el conocimiento que tienen los adolescentes de esta dermatosis. Entre las fuentes de información más utilizadas por los adolescentes destacan los amigos y los familiares. Supone una importante repercusión en l...
Dermatitis artefacta may represent a real challenge for the clinician. As the patient does not admit self-inflicting the lesions, misdiagnosis with other diseases, such as pyoderma gangrenosum, is common. Consequently, these patients normally go through unnecessary tests and receive potentially harmful treatments as clinicians determine their diagn...
Case 1 was a 10-year-old child who presented with multiple hyperpigmented brightening papules and plaques on the limbs and trunk (Fig 1). Case 2 was a 5-year-old child with a well delimited hypopigmented plaque on the lower eyelid. DERMOSCOPY APPEARANCE The dermoscopic examination of case 1 revealed a whitish plaque with comedo-like openings in the...
Pili multigemini is a rare disorder where more than one hair exists in a single hair follicle. Papillar tips that divide into several tips will produce several hair shafts, so that characteristically do not fuse again.

Neuropathic ulcers in leprosy represent a therapeutic challenge for clinicians. Chronic ulcers affect patient health, emotional state and quality of life, causing considerable morbidity and mortality in addition to contributing to significant health care costs. The pathogenesis is mainly related to the abnormally increased pressure in areas such as...
In recent years, the use of platelet-rich plasma has increased notably in a range of diseases and settings. Uses of these products now go beyond skin rejuvenation therapy in patients with facial ageing. Good outcomes for other dermatological indications such as skin ulcers and, more recently, alopecia have been reported in case series and controlle...
