    A case of zosteriform lichen planus developing after extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy
    (2012) Turan E.; Akay A.; Yesilova Y.; Türkçü G.
    Lichen planus is a relatively common papulosquamous skin disease of unknown etiology. It is characterized by flat-topped, shiny pinkish-purple papules and plaques on the skin or mucous membranes. The zosteriform type is a rare variant of lichen planus with dermatomal or zonal distribution. A 29-year-old female patient was admitted to our clinic with a 2-month history of a pruritic eruption on the dermatomes on the left between T6-T10. Based on clinical and histological findings, the patient was diagnosed with zosteriform lichen planus. The patient had undergone extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) for left kidney stones two weeks before the appearance of the lesions. There was no history of skin diseases with dermatomal distribution including herpes zoster in the lesion area. This condition was considered as an isomorphic response following ESWL. © 2012 Dermatology Online Journal.

    Efects of isotretinoin on social anxiety and quality of life in patients with acne vulgaris: A prospective trial
    (2012) Yesilova Y.; Bez Y.; Ari M.; Turan E.
    Social anxiety is common in acne patients and the effects of isotretinoin treatment on social anxiety symptoms have not yet been thoroughly investigated. The aim of the study was to assess the effects of isotretinoin treatment on the quality of life and social anxiety symptoms in a group of acne vulgaris patients. The Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS) and Short Form-36 (SF-36) were administered to 39 (24 female and 15 male) patients with acne vulgaris who accepted isotretinoin treatment and agreed to participate in the study. The severity of acne was evaluated using the Global Acne Grading System. Thirty patients completed 6-month treatment with oral isotretinoin at 0.5-1.0 mg/kg daily doses. Measurements were repeated at the end of 6 months. Acne significantly improved over time in the study group. The mean performance avoidance score in LSAS and mean pain and social functioning scores in SF-36 were significantly better at the end of isotretinoin treatment. In conclusion, isotretinoin treatment improves the quality of life and social anxiety symptoms in acne patients.
