BACKGROUND: Herpes zoster(HZ), caused by reactivation of latent varicella-zoster virus, is manifested by dermatomal distribution of skin rashes, acute pain and post-herpetic neuralgia by pathologic involvement of the sensory ganglia. Low-energy laser(LEL) deliver a small amount of energy without elevation of the tissue temperature. LEL is reported to have various biologic effects such as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, regenerative, antiallergic, immunocorrective, and antibacterial effects. OBJECTIVE: We attempted to evaluate the therapeutic effect of LEL on an acute phase of HZ. METHODS: A total of 60 patients with acute HZ were enrolled in the study. The control group(30 patients) received medications including analgesics, antihistamine, and topical care without LEL irradiation. The experimental group(30 patients) were irradiated with LEL daily for 7 days in addition to the same kinds of medications for the control group. The efficacy of LEL irradiation for HZ was assessed by analyzing changes in skin rashes, pain scores, and postherpetic neuralgia.

A sixity-three years old male admitted our department of dermatology showing generallized scaly, fissured, and swollen lower lip, we could diagnose it actinic cheilitis by the finding of skin biopsy specimen. And so we recomrnended him vermilioneciomy for the prophylaxis of squamous cell carcinoma, but he refused. After 2 months, above Iesion was changed a rapidly proliferating protruded mass in the centcr of the lower lip, which was diagnosed squamous cell carcinoma. For the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma and remained actinic cheilitis, we performed V-shaped excision of tumor mass and verrniliomy. After 5 months follow-up evaluation, the patient appeared excellent results without recurrence.
