Botryomicoma is also known by these names that refer to its rich vascular composition:

Angiomas

 

Angioma or Hemangioma is an abnormal accumulation of blood vessels in the skin or internal organs.

Clinical picture

Un hemangioma es una marca de nacimiento de color rojo intenso que aparece al nacer o en la primera o segunda semana de vida. Parece una protuberancia gomosa y está compuesta por vasos sanguíneos adicionales en la piel.

About 1 in 3 hemangiomas is present at birth and the rest appear in the first months of life.
The hemangioma can:
• Being in the upper layers of the skin (capillary hemangioma).
• Being deep in the skin (cavernous hemangioma).
• Be a mixture of both.

Treatment

The most effective treatment today is laser, the most widely used are the Nd Yag 1064 long pulse and Diode 980 nm.
For superficial red angiomas, the 532 nm laser is very effective.

The number of sessions will be related to the type of vascular injury and the laser selected for said treatment.

Entre las alternativas existentes podemos destacar:

  • The To be (de colorante pulsado, de KTP, de Nd-YAG …) pueden ser útiles en las fases iniciales de lesiones superficiales y en la porción superficial de un hemangioma profundo. También están indicados en los hemangiomas ulcerados de determinadas localizaciones. Tienen la limitación de la profundidad, ya que ninguno de ellos alcanza más allá de 2-3 mm.
  • The surgery está indicada, tan pronto como sea posible, en algunos hemangiomas nasales. Así se evita el desplazamiento y destrucción de los cartílagos y se favorece el desarrollo normal de la nariz.
  • The corticosteroids, en inyección intralesional o generalmente por vía oral (dosis de 3-4 mg./kg./día), están indicados en la fase de crecimiento tardío de los hemangiomas muy desfigurantes, con compromiso vital (obstrucción vía aérea) o secuelas visuales (ceguera). En pocos días se comprueba su eficacia, y se deben mantener varias semanas. Bajo control por un especialista y con la ayuda de otros fármacos, se reducen los efectos secundarios de esta medicación, que son pasajeros.
  • He interferon se limita a aquellos casos en los que no hay respuesta a los corticosteroides, ya que presenta una mayor toxicidad (parálisis espástica).

  • What are the symptoms of actinic keratosis?
    Actinic keratosis looks like a pink, brown, or same-colored spot of the skin but is bulky and rough to the touch.
  • What causes actinic keratosis?
    The biggest cause of actinic keratosis is too much sun exposure (natural light like the sun, or artificial light like that of the solarium).
  • Who is at risk of getting actinic keratosis?
    It is more frequent in patients with fair skin, blue eyes of middle age or older who have had a lot of sun exposure.
  • How is actinic keratosis diagnosed?
    People who are at risk of having any skin disorder should check their skin regularly. If you notice any persistent lumps or spots of unusual color, texture, shape, or size, you need to contact a doctor or dermatologist. Other worrying signs are pimples that don't heal or anything else that bleeds easily. The doctor will likely biopsy the skin by removing part or all of the lump to check for cancer cells.
  • How is actinic keratosis treated?
    In most cases, actinic keratosis can be treated and cured. The result is more favorable if the disease is detected in its early stages. Treatment options include the following:

    • Topical creams or lotions
    • Cryosurgery (freeze it)
    • Electro-surgery (use of an electric current)

Treatment

Our Centers are equipped with the most advanced technology. The most modern treatment today is the exfoliation with the Lotus II Laser, Erbium micro fractionated. It is painless, fast, does not leave scars and the patient immediately continues his social activity.
It does not require the use of anesthesia of any kind, since the laser impact on the tissue is so fast that it does not cause pain or discomfort, allowing the treatment of multiple and large lesions.

 

How can actinic keratosis be prevented?

The best way to prevent actinic keratosis is to reduce sun exposure, especially during the hours when the sun is at its highest and the light is most intense. Some tips to keep in mind:
• Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and a hat to protect areas of the skin that may be exposed to the sun.
• Apply sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher at least 30 minutes before going outside. A broad spectrum sunscreen is recommended to protect the skin from both A and B ultraviolet rays.
• Avoid tanning by staying in the sun or using solariums; it is preferable to use self-tanning products

Wart Treatment

What is a wart?

It is a skin lesion generated by the human papilloma virus. These lesions that manifest a variable and excreting form; They can affect different areas of the body. Individuals with deficiencies in the immune system are more likely to contract this disease.

Its removal is not easy since warts have their own blood irrigation system that causes bleeding in their surgical removal; they can also regenerate faster. In addition, it involves various nerve endings, so its removal or manipulation causes great pain. This is why, at Hoogstra medical center, we prefer laser treatment warts.

Types of warts

  • Vulgar warts

    They are the most frequent They have a rounded shape, usually appear in groups or isolated, and their surface is rough. They form on the back and palms of the hands, and soles of the feet. They can also form between the fingers and sometimes on the face, neck, and scalp.

  • Genital warts

    Called condylomas. They are soft, and can be cauliflower-shaped, when they are very large. They are located anywhere in the genital area (penis, vagina), in the groin and in the perianal region. They are highly contagious, since the urogenital mucosa is more delicate and susceptible to erosions and wounds that facilitate the entry of HPV. They are transmitted during sexual intercourse.

  • Filiform warts

    With an elongated shape and softer texture, they can appear on the neck and eyelids. They are attached to the skin by a small area. Many times they detach themselves and it is frequent to hook them with the nails, the neck chains, a brush or the comb itself.

  • Subungual and periungual warts

    This is the name given to warts that usually appear due to or around the nails, respectively.

  • Flat warts

    They are more frequent in children and adolescents. The flat warts They do not protrude much and have a whiter color and similar to that of the skin than the rest of common warts. They are small in size and are distributed in groups or clusters.

  • Plantar warts

    Better known as papillomasPlantar warts are found on the soles of the feet. This location makes them very painful due to the pressure of the body's weight when walking, so they almost always require treatment to eliminate them instead of waiting for them to disappear on their own.

What areas do they affect?

Depending on the type of virus, warts can appear on:

  • hands
  • face
  • the neck
  • Feet
  • Genitals
  • armpits, or any other part of the body.

How to remove warts?

Common warts are bothersome in most cases. They can bleed and cause pain when some type of contact is received. They can also be uncomfortable if, for example, they grow on the face. Treatment may reduce the chance that warts will spread to other areas of the body or spread to others. Our main solution is usually To be, although depending on the case, we can use cryosurgery

Wart laser treatment

At the Hoogstra Center we treat warts with the Erbium Lotus II laser. The Lotus impacts the wart at high speed, generating no pain for the patient or damage to neighboring tissues. Leaves no scars. Large warts are usually removed in more than one session. After each session no special care is required and the patient immediately resumes his activity. This is the best answer to how to remove warts fast.

The advantages of laser vaporization are its greater efficiency and safety; the absence of scars, since it acts very selectively, so that it does not damage adjacent tissues; and that it allows the blood vessels to clot, so that the skin does not bleed.

Other Wart Treatments

Conventional treatments are based on the local destruction of the tissue:

  • Cryosurgery (tissue freezing) is an effective treatment.
  • Electrocoagulation Like cryosurgery, it generates a lot of tissue destruction, a long recovery time and the possibility of scarring.
  • Treatment surgical.
  • Pharmaceutical products to remove warts
  • Intralesional bleomycin inhibits DNA and slows growth.
