ment, dermabrasion using a suction-assisted cartilage shaver, and dot peeling procedure using 100% TCA after puncture with a 23-gauge needle are being introduced. According to a report on a case of treating steatocystoma multiplex using oral isotretinoin, most of the responders were steatocystoma multiplex suppurativum, which is thought to be due to the anti-inammatory action of retinoids. Although it has been reported to be ineffective in cases without an inammatory response, there have also been reports of cases that showed therapeutic effects in Korea. Laser treatments include a report that effective treatment was achieved without side effects by creating an opening with a CO laser and removing the contents of the cyst with a sterile cotton swab, repeating this process eight times at 1-week intervals, and introducing treatment of steatocystoma multiplex using an Erbium-YAG laser as one of the simple and effective treatment methods. In addition, there have been reports of cases showing lesion dis­appearance with a combined therapy of 1550nm fraction­ated erbium-doped ber laser and 1450nm diode laser. In the case of the CO laser, it is possible to perform a method that
sufciently discharges only the contents of the cyst after incising the lesion, but a more perfect treatment is possible only after completely removing the cyst wall after discharg­ing the contents by creating an opening with the CO laser. At this time, good results can be obtained by performing the procedure using an ophthalmic curette (Meyerhoefer chala­zion curette) and forceps. That is, by focusing with a CO laser and drilling a small hole until the oily substance is dis­charged, inserting a thin ophthalmic curette through the opening and gently pulling out the cyst pouch, or scraping up the cyst wall on the bottom after discharging the contents and gently peeling it off by applying gentle force with forceps to hold the pouch. If a piece of the cyst pouch remains, it can recur, so observation is necessary at intervals of 1–2months, and reoperation can be performed depending on the case. For Mr. M, there is a problem that the procedure takes a lot of time because there are many numbers, so I explained that it is safe to remove about 10 lesions per day and then dress the treated area every other day for 2weeks after the procedure (Figs.12.6, 12.7, 12.8, 12.9, 12.10, 12.11 and 12.12).

Polymorphous Light Eruption:
https://t.me/med1917
Sun Allergy
Every year, in the spring, when I change from wearing long-sleeved clothes to short-sleeved clothes, I get a rash on my arms, chest, and neck, and it itches like crazy.
Ms. R, a woman in her 30s, suffers from severe itching and rash on her arms, chest, and neck every spring when she switches from wearing long sleeves to short sleeves. By the end of summer, she develops a tolerance and the symptoms almost disappear, but they recur every year, causing her great distress. She laments, “Do I have to suffer from skin diseases caused by sunlight all my life? The itching is driving me crazy!” (Fig. 13.1).
Polymorphous light eruption is a recurrent skin disease that manifests in various forms of rash due to ultraviolet radi­ation. It is the most common photosensitivity disorder, with various lesions appearing on sun-exposed areas without any specic triggers such as medication. The cause is believed to be a delayed hypersensitivity reaction to new skin antigens triggered by sunlight. The incidence is higher in women than in men, with an average onset age of 23. It occurs in all races, including Asians and African Americans, and there is a genetic form of polymorphous light eruption (Actinic pru­rigo) in American Indians. Various forms of rash, such as papular, papulovesicular, plaque, urticarial, eczematous, and erythema multiforme like, appear a few hours or days after sun exposure. The lesions usually appear in one form in indi­vidual patients and follow the original lesion form upon recurrence. The lesions often occur on the arms, chest, and neck, which were non-exposed areas during the winter, and the itching is very severe. Rarely, itching may occur without any lesions. Symptoms usually start in early spring, worsen during the summer, and weaken in the fall. Rarely, it can occur in winter due to ultraviolet reection from the snow. During the summer, the skin develops desensitization or tol­erance, and there is no recurrence by the end of summer.
The lesions usually appear suddenly within 30min to a few hours of sun exposure. They disappear without scar­ring in about 1–7 days, but sometimes they persist for
13

2weeks or longer in severe cases. Rarely, systemic symp­toms such as headache, nausea, and chills may occur. The average duration of the disease is 10years, and it tends to recur with exacerbations and remissions. The rash is mainly caused by ultraviolet A, but it can also occur due to ultraviolet B, and also it can be caused by both UVA and UVB.UVA can pass through glass, so it can be induced even while driving a car, and in the case of drivers, lesions often appear on the left arm. Polymorphic light eruption is related to the intensity of sunlight. Also, even though the arms and legs have severe lesions, there are often no lesions on the face and back of the hands that are usually exposed to the sun. It should be noted that the lesions gen­erally do not appear in the antecubital area that connects the lower and upper arms, which are relatively less exposed to sunlight (Fig.13.2).
Diagnosis is not difcult. Characteristics include delayed onset of rash, characteristic shape, histopathological changes distinguishable from lupus erythematosus, and clinical

course disappearing in a few days. Skin biopsy, immunouo­rescence examination, and phototesting for both UVA and UVB may be required for differential diagnosis. Some patients may develop resistance to UV rays toward the end of summer, but it can recur with excessive sunlight exposure in the spring or summer of the following year. However, natural healing or disappearance of the rash is observed after several years (Figs. 13.3, 13.4, 13.5, 13.6, 13.7, 13.8, 13.9 and
13.10).
Direct sunlight exposure should be avoided, and sun­screen that blocks both UVA and UVB should be used. It shows a relatively good response to steroid treatment, but if it does not improve, the use of nicotinamide, antimalarial drugs, thalidomide, beta-carotene, ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, azathioprine, and cyclosporine has been reported. The exact mechanism is unknown, but it is known that the occur­rence of lesions can be effectively suppressed by the preven-

tive implementation of photochemotherapy and narrowband UVB phototherapy. I explained to Ms. R that although it may be painful, this disease does not last a lifetime, so do not
worry too much, avoid direct exposure to sunlight, use a sun­screen that blocks both UVA and UVB, and get immediate treatment if you have any symptoms.
Erythema Multiforme
https://t.me/med1917
Suddenly, many red spots that look like targets have appeared on the back of my hands and feet (Fig.14.1).
A 30-year-old male, S, came in for a consultation because he had some symptoms of body aches and strange-shaped red spots suddenly appeared on the backs of his hands and feet 2–3days ago and seemed to be spreading to his elbows and knees. He said it was slightly itchy, but not very itchy or stinging. Upon closer examination, the red spots on his hands and feet were clearly shaped like targets (Fig.14.2).
Erythema multiforme is an acute, self-limiting, skin dis­order dened solely by the shape of the lesion and clinically presents with target-shaped lesions and histologically with satellite cell necrosis. Since it was rst described in 1866, there has been controversy over the scope and classication of this disease, but erythema multiforme is relatively com­mon and shows a mild course, recurs, and is mainly caused by re-infection with the herpes simplex virus. Stevens­Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis shows a severe course involving the skin and mucous membranes and is mainly induced by drugs. It can occur in all age groups but is most common in young and middle-aged people, and the incidence varies by gender depending on the reporter. It often occurs in the spring and is thought to be associated with ultraviolet rays that trigger recurrent herpes simplex infections. Most cases of erythema multiforme are associ­ated with infection and can be caused by viral infections rep­resented by the most common cause, herpes simplex virus, bacterial infections such as M. pneumoniae infection and tuberculosis, and fungal or protozoal infections such as coc­cidioidomycosis, histoplasmosis, and malaria. The skin rash of erythema multiforme appears suddenly, and all lesions occur within 3days in most cases. There are often no prodro­mal symptoms, but symptoms of a cold can appear. Lesions typically appear symmetrically on the extremities (backs of hands, feet, knees, elbows) and face but can also occur on the

palms of the hands, thighs, buttocks, and trunk, and in severe cases, hundreds of erythema can occur. It usually starts at the extremities and spreads centripetally toward the center of the body. Most are asymptomatic, but sometimes itching and burning can be complained of. The characteristic feature is the observation of target-shaped lesions consisting of three layers: a central red-purple purpura or blister, surrounded by an edematous ring, and nally an erythematous border. However, not all lesions are typical, and usually less than 10% of the body surface area is involved. Mucosal lesions are observed in about 70% and are conned to the oral cav­ity. Diagnosis is easy because of the characteristic target lesions, but in cases that show atypical patterns, a biopsy must be performed (Figs.14.3, 14.4, 14.5, 14.6, 14.7, 14.8,
14.9 and 14.10).
Individual lesions of erythema multiforme usually disap­pear naturally within 2weeks (1–4weeks), and some lesions may show temporary dyschromia, but most cases recover without sequelae. However, the problem is that recurrence is

common and unpredictable. Topical ointments, analgesics, antihistamines, etc. can be used for symptomatic treatment, and recurrent erythema multiforme associated with herpes simplex can be reduced by prophylactic or continuous use of antiviral agents. However, there is still controversy over the use of systemic steroids. Mr. S seems quite worried that not only does herpes simplex recur, but this disease also fre­quently recurs, and the expression on his face when he leaves the examination room is not very bright.

Why do I get shingles four times, while other people only get it once in their lives?
P, a woman in her 30s, came for treatment because she had painful blisters on her buttocks. “Why do I get shingles four times when others get it once in a lifetime? It’s strange, isn’t it?” she said. As soon as I heard that, I quickly pulled out a book with photos distinguishing between herpes zoster and herpes simplex to explain in detail (Fig.15.1).
Herpes simplex is an infection caused by two types of herpes simplex virus (HSV), which appears as clusters of blisters on the skin or mucous membranes. It is mainly trans­mitted by direct contact with infected lesions or saliva. The commonly occurring sites are very extensive, including the lips, gums, around the mouth, face, genitals, hands, cervix, and buttocks, and after primary infection, it remains dormant or in a latent state, reactivating when the host’s immunity is lowered. Most oral herpes is caused by herpes simplex virus type 1, while most genital infections are caused by herpes simplex virus type 2. However, both types can cause acute and recurrent infections of the mouth and genitals, and the virus can be transmitted even during asymptomatic periods,
which is a problem. Herpes simplex virus type 1 mainly lies dormant in the trigeminal ganglion and type 2 mainly lies in the sacral ganglion before being reactivated, and the degree of reactivation is related to the amount of viral DNA latent in the ganglion. Primary infection by herpes simplex virus type 1 usually occurs in childhood, but the infection rate increases with age, and it is known that the majority of adults over 30 show a positive serum response to herpes simplex virus type
1. It is transmitted through direct skin-to-skin, skin-to­mucosa, and mucosa-to-skin contact, tends to occur more in high population density and low socioeconomic environ­ments, and the recurrence frequency varies greatly, averag­ing about once a year, but decreases in frequency and severity with age. Known major causes of recurrence include UV exposure, hormonal changes such as menstruation, dental treatment, fever, colds, immunosuppression, trauma, and psychological stress. Herpes simplex virus type 2 shows a close relationship with an individual’s sexual lifestyle, and the infection rate is higher in women, but asymptomatic infection is more common in men. Genital herpes simplex virus infection is known to contribute to AIDS infection and transmission (Figs.15.2, 15.3 and 15.4).

stomatitis, hand–foot–mouth disease, herpangina, erythema multiforme, etc. Corneal examination using a slit lamp is necessary when it occurs around the eyes. Tzanck smear, virus culture, skin biopsy, and serological tests help in diag­nosis. Virus culture testing is the best diagnostic method, and positive results are conrmed within 48–96 h of culture. Recently, molecular biological tests such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) have been used as an auxiliary (Figs.15.5, 15.6, 15.7, 15.8, 15.9, 15.10, 15.11 and 15.12).
Although skin, mucous membrane, and internal organ infections respond well to antiviral drugs, there is still no treatment that can remove the herpes simplex virus from the central nervous system. Antiviral drugs are usually adminis­tered orally in most cases, prescribed for the treatment of primary and recurrent herpes simplex and for the suppres­sion of recurrence. It is effective in both primary and recur­rent cases, but the treatment effect is higher in primary infections than in recurrent infections. The therapeutic effect of antiviral drugs in recurrent herpes simplex is important when administered at the onset of symptoms, and continuous administration can signicantly reduce the number of recur­rences in many patients. It is known that acyclovir, valacy-

Clinically, the lesions are characterized by clustered vesi­cles on erythematous bases on the skin or mucosa. Local itching and burning sensation occur, with type 1 mainly affecting the area around the mouth above the navel and type 2 mainly appearing on the genitals below the navel. Symptoms vary depending on the site of infection and immune status, but symptoms are more severe and the prob­ability of complications is higher in primary than recurrent infections. In addition to the herpes simplex around the mouth, it also presents various clinical manifestations such as gingivostomatitis, disseminated herpes simplex infection, herpetic whitlow, genital herpes, eczema herpeticum, neona­tal and fetal herpes, and central and peripheral nervous sys­tem infections.
The characteristic clinical manifestations of local itching and burning sensation and the discovery of clustered vesicles on the skin or mucosa make diagnosis easy, but differentia­tion is required for primary gingivostomatitis from aphthous
