Lentigo
Treatment
Cryosurgery is a simple treatment for lentigo isolated. Many consider it as first-line therapy in solar lentiginoza with ablation therapy. This procedure is often successful because the melanocytes succeptibilitatii freezing with liquid nitrogen. Squamous cells survive up to -20 degrees while melanocytes freezes at -4 to 7 degrees Celsius.
Lasers are effective in treating various lentiginoze. The recent development of pigment-specific lasers with short pulse allows the destruction of pigment from solar lentigo and a significant clinical improvements, a reduced risk of side effects and a high acceptance among patients.
Noninvasive topical creams are also used. After several months of application, cream and hidroquinona retinoin discolour lentigo.
The effectiveness of cryotherapy and trichloroacetic acid treatment were compared for solar lentigo. Cryotherapy was more effective against trichloroacetic solution. Postinflamatorie hyperpigmentation remains a risk for both methods.
Pharmacologic therapy. Retinoids decrease hiperproliferarea abnormal keratinocytes and may reduce the potential for malignant degeneration. These agents modulate keratinocyte differentiation. Appeared to reduce the risk of skin cancer patients who underwent kidney transplantation. Examples: tretinoin. Creams contain bleaching agents that whiten skin hyperpigmentation by inhibiting enzymatic oxidation and suppression of other melanocyte torozinei inhibition of melanin production. Examples: hidroquinona.
Prognosis. Lentigo is benign in nature. In patients lentigo is associated with abnormal systemic or prognosis may depend on the severity of complications associated conditions. Treatment with cryosurgery, laser or topical creams was beneficial. Patients should avoid sun exposure and artificial tanning beds. It encouraged the use of creams with SPF.
