Keloids are defined as overrepairing products that develop after skin lesions. Keloids are characterized by the proliferation of fibroblasts and the overaccumulation of extracellular matrix components (mainly collagen), leading to a locally hypoxic microenvironment. Hence, this article was aimed to review hypoxia in pathogenesis of keloids.

Vitiligo is an autoimmune skin disorder characterized by circumscribed depigmented macules and patches caused by the loss of functional melanocytes. Although there is no definitive treatment for vitiligo, several treatment options have been associated with relative satisfactory outcomes. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of micro-needling in conjunction with topical 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) versus topical tacrolimus ointment in treating vitiligo patches.

Chemical peeling is the controlled wounding of the epidermis and dermis for skin rejuvenation, involving the application of ablative agents to induce keratolysis and regeneration of damaged cell layers. Prolonged erythema is one complication of this procedure. We report the prevalence and probable etiology of prolonged facial erythema in a cohort of patients treated with medium-depth chemical peels.
