An 11-year-old boy presented with erythematous plaques over the bilateral mandibular and mental regions for 2 years, accompanied by cough and dyspnea for more than 2 months. Chest computed tomography angiography revealed marked stenosis of the right pulmonary artery, irregular aortic caliber, and aortic wall thickening. Histopathological examination of the skin lesion, including immunohistochemistry and special stains, confirmed a chronic suppurative inflammation. Whole-exome sequencing was negative. A final diagnosis of granuloma faciale and Takayasu arteritis was established. Combination therapy with systemic tocilizumab, prednisone, and methotrexate, along with topical 0.1% tacrolimus ointment, resulted in a favorable clinical response. This report summarizes the clinical features of a pediatric case of granuloma faciale and Takayasu arteritis and reviews the etiology, diagnostic approach, and current treatment strategies for the disorders, aiming to enhance clinicians' understanding of these conditions.

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical effect of micro-plasma radio frequency treatment of facial post-burn hyperpigmentation.

METHODSFrom June 2012 to August 2013, a total of 25 cases with facial post-burn hyperpigmentation were treated with micro-plasma treatment for 3-5 times. The roller tip was used with setting of 60-90 watts and 3-4 passes were performed in different directions. Treatments were repeated at an interval of 8 weeks.

RESULTSAll patients tolerated the pain. After treatment, the facial hyperpigmentation improved. Complete recovery was achieved in 4 cases; significant improvement in 11 cases; moderate in 7 cases and no effect in 3 cases. No hyperpigmentation, depigmentation and scar formation was observed.

CONCLUSIONMicro-plasma radio frequency treatment is an ideal treatment for post-burn hyperpigmentation with lower side effect.

BACKGROUND: Topical corticosteroids are not uncommonly abused in patients with facial dermatoses. Although it is well known that uncontrolled use of topical corticosteroids cause steroid-induced rosacea, its clinical manifestation is not studied yet in Korean patients. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this epidemiological study was to investigate a usage history of topical corticosteroid and clinical manifestation of steroid-induced rosacea. METHODS: Among the 424 rosacea patients who visited the dermatologic clinics of Pusan National University Hospital between January 2006 and May 2011, a face-to-face structured questionnaire was given to 66 rosacea patients with a history of topical corticosteroid use on the face for more than 1 month before onset of rosacea symptoms. Investigated factors include sex, age, history about use of topical corticosteroids and clinical manifestations. RESULTS: Of the 66 patients, 41 were female and 25 were male with the mean age of 52.1+/-14.6 (range 16~76) year. Celestone-G(R) (n=14) was the most commonly used product in the 34 patients who remembered the brand name of topical corticosteroids, which they had used. Forty-three patients used topical corticosteroids for treatment of facial skin lesions without diagnosis. Eighteen patients purchased topical corticosteroids without doctor's prescription. The mean duration and frequency of topical corticosteroid use was 3.8 years and 1.3 times per day, respectively. Constant erythema (n=31) was the most common symptom and it started to occur 2 months after use of topical corticosteroid. CONCLUSION: High-potency topical corticosteroids are frequently used for patients with facial dermatoses without correct diagnosis and without doctor's prescription. Besides, abuse of topical corticosteroids cause rosacea symptoms, such as constant erythema. To prevent the occurrence of steroid-induced rosacea, there should be a great social concern for abuse and misuse of topical corticosteroid in patients with facial dermatosis.
