Background: The inclination to get tattoos has been increasing in our country. While its history depends on the ancient past, feelings and thoughts of tattooed people about tattoos, and their awareness on complications and removal methods has not been investigated completely. Aims: Our aim is to learn the approach of individuals on tattoos and getting tattoos. Settings and Design: We have planned a cross-sectional survey study for tattooed and non-tattooed people. Materials and Methods: Twenty four multiple-choice and one open ended question were prepared for people with tattoos, and seven questions were prepared for people who don't have tattoos. Four questions were common in both groups. Statistical Analysis Used: For statistical analyses, SPSS (IBM Corp. Released 2013. IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 22.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp) was used. Statistical significance of the difference between common questions was determined with chi-square test, and the effect of different groups on answering the question was analyzed with Cramér's V test. p values below 0.05 were recognized as statistically significant. Results: About half of people with tattoos had their first tattoo when they were between ages 18-29, and 38.2% had a single tattoo. 16.7% of individuals got their first tattoo below age 18. Women often preferred their wrists and ankles for tattoos, while men preferred arms, neck, legs and trunk. While women preferred to get a tattoo about a loved one, men rather got tattoos to look cool. 37.7% of people who don't have tattoos said they did not get one since they might regret it later, 25.4% stated they did not get one since it did not comply with the rules of their religion. 20.2% did not like seeing tattoos in others. Conclusion: The rate of getting tattoos in minors is higher in our country compared to other countries. The majority of people who want their tattoos to be removed got tattooed when they were minors. There is a higher rate of men than women who want to get their tattoos removed. 4.2% of tattooed people regret their tattoos in the process of getting them. It was observed that tattooed people were not aware of the risk of disease transmission by getting tattooed.
背景:在我国，纹身的倾向一直在增加。虽然它的历史取决于古老的过去，但纹身者对纹身的感受和想法，以及他们对并发症和去除方法的认识尚未得到充分的调查。目的:我们的目的是学习个人纹身和纹身的方法。设置和设计:我们计划对纹身和非纹身的人进行横断面调查研究。材料与方法:为有纹身的人准备了24道选择题和1道开放式问题，为没有纹身的人准备了7道问题。两组都有四个共同的问题。使用:用于统计分析，SPSS (IBM公司2013年发布)。IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 22.0。纽约州阿蒙克市:IBM公司)被使用。用卡方检验确定常见问题之间差异的统计学意义，用cramsamrs V检验分析不同组对回答问题的影响。P值小于0.05认为有统计学意义。结果:大约一半有纹身的人在18-29岁之间有第一个纹身，38.2%的人有一个纹身。16.7%的人在18岁以下纹了第一个纹身。女性通常喜欢在手腕和脚踝上纹身，而男性则喜欢在手臂、脖子、腿和躯干上纹身。女性更喜欢纹一个与爱人有关的纹身，而男性则更喜欢为了看起来很酷而纹身。37.7%没有纹身的人说他们没有纹身是因为他们以后可能会后悔，25.4%的人说他们没有纹身是因为不符合他们的宗教规定。20.2%的人不喜欢看到别人身上有纹身。结论:我国未成年人文身率高于其他国家。大多数想要去除纹身的人都是在未成年时纹身的。想要去除纹身的男性比例高于女性。4.2%的纹身者在纹身的过程中后悔自己的纹身。据观察，纹身的人没有意识到通过纹身传播疾病的风险。

Grover's disease (GD) is an acquired dermatosis called transient acantholytic dermatosis. The exact cause is unknown, but the factors blamed for the etiology include ultraviolet (UV), sweating, temperature rise, radiation, medications, and malignancies. Topical corticosteroids, topical retinoids, and topical calcipotriol are usually sufficient for treatment, and systemic retinoids, systemic steroids, phototherapy, and methotrexate are rarely used. The current report describes the case of GD in a female patient, which was aggravated by the psoralen and UVA phototherapy.

Background/Aim: Although the effects of smoking on large blood vessels are known, research on the effects of smoking on microcirculation continues. In this study, we investigated whether the dermoscopic features of the labial mucosa of smokers differed from the healthy control group. Materials and Methods: In this study, 164 patients (82 smokers and 82 nonsmokers) aged between 20 and 75 years who were admitted to the dermatology department were included. Dermoscopically obtained data were analyzed. Results: Hemorrhagic dot (48.8% vs. 26.8%, P: 0.004), matchstick hairpin vessels (37.8% vs. 15.9%, P: 0.002), microaneursym (35.4% vs. 18.3%, P: 0.014), targetoid brown round areas (37.8% vs. 19.5%, P: 0.010), white dot (22% vs. 9.8%, P: 0.033), and hyperkeratosis (37.8% vs. 18.3%, P: 0.005) were found to be significant in terms of dermoscopic features.Conclusion: In this study, we think that structures such as hemorrhagic dot, matchstick hairpin vessels, microaneursym, which are found to be high in smokers, may be caused by microcirculation disorders.

Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of combined 10,600 nm fractional CO2and 1540 nm erbium GaAs laser therapy on atrophic acne scars. Subjects and Methods: The design of this study was pre- and post-test on patients with atrophic acne scars before and after receiving the combination laser therapy of fractional CO2and erbium GaAs. The sample size consisted of 20 medical records. The Acne Goodman-Baron Scar Score was used to score acne scars, which included morphology, quantity, depth, and width of the acne scars. The therapy was administered three times at 1-month intervals. The power and wavelength of the laser were adjusted based on the degree of the severity of the acne scar in each patient. The data were analyzed the hypothesis statistically using the Wilcoxon test, using the SPSS for Windows program, version 16.0. Results: There were significant differences (P = 0.007) between the means of the Goodman–Baron acne scar scores before and after combined 10,600 nm fractional CO2and 1540 nm erbium GaAs laser therapy. Side effects occurred in 50% of patients, where 35% experienced erythema and 15% experienced pruritus. Conclusion: The combination of 1540 nm erbium GaAs and 10,600 nm fractional CO2laser therapy can be effective for treating atrophic acne scars on the face, with minimal side effects. However, longer therapy sessions are required for better results.

Background/Aim: Information on dermoscopy of the labial mucosa is limited to dermoscopic examination of several dermatological diseases of the labial mucosa. In this study, we investigated whether dermoscopic features of labial mucosa differ in age and sex in healthy individuals. Materials and Methods: The study included 152 healthy individuals (76 females and 76 males) aged between 20 and 83 years who applied to the outpatient dermatology department. For the evaluation of dermoscopic features, the patients were divided into two groups as age under 40 years (Group 1) and over 40 years (Group 2). Dermoscopic data were analyzed by age and sex. Results: In Group 1, clear reticular arrangement (40.4% vs. 13.8%, P = 0.001) and honeycomb appearance (7.4% vs. 0%, P = 0.033) were significant. In Group 2, mixed reticular arrangement (61.7% vs. 82.8%, P = 0.006), grouped hairpin vessels (48.9% vs. 69%, P = 0.016), yellow background areas (87.2% vs. 98.3%, P = 0.018), dotted vessels (33% vs. 62.1%, P = 0.000), matchstick hairpin vessels (6.4% vs. 19%, P = 0.017), microaneurysm (3.2% vs. 32.8%, P = 0.000) were significant. While clear reticular arrangement and purple areas were more common in females, mixed reticular pattern and grouped hairpin vessels were more frequent in males. Conclusion: In this study, significant differences were found in dermoscopic features according to age and sex in healthy individuals. These results will serve as the basis for studies on the effect of systemic diseases on oral labial mucosa and studies on localized mucosal diseases.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between telogen effluvium (TE) with the new oxidative stress (OS) indicator of thiol/disulfide balance and to research the role of OS in the pathogenesis of TE. Methods: Our study included 101 patients with TE diagnosis and 39 healthy individuals. Serum thiol/disulfide was measured with a new automated spectrometric method developed by Erel and Neselioglu, and results were compared statistically. Results: Among the six thiol/disulfide parameters, there were statistically significant differences for native thiol, total thiol, disulfide, disulfide/native thiol, disulfide/total thiol, and native thiol/total thiol studied in the patient and control groups (P = 0.042, 0.044, <0.001, 0.013, 0.026, and < 0.001, respectively). Conclusions: Based on the results of this study, it can be said that OS is closely associated with TE pathogenesis. There is a need for new studies that will show the possible effects of OS on TE pathogenesis and research different OS markers in addition to thiol/disulfide parameters.

Objective: Lipoid proteinosis (LP) is a rare autosomal recessive genodermatosis characterized by the accumulation of amorphous hyaline substance in the skin and mucous membranes. In this study, the histopathological findings of the patients who were admitted to our clinic and diagnosed with LP were examined. Materials and Methods: This prospective study included 18 patients who presented to our clinic between January 2014 and December 2018 and were confirmed by histopathological examination. A punch biopsy including epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissues was obtained from the lesional skin of each patient evaluated clinically, and the material was stained with hematoxylin and eosin stain and periodic acid–Schiff (PAS) stain. These preparations were evaluated by a pathologist experienced in dermatopathology. Results: The most common histopathological findings in the epidermis were hyperkeratosis (88.8%) and pigmentary incontinence (83.3%) in the basal layer. The most common histopathological findings in the dermis were amorphous substance accumulation (100%), perivascular PAS positivity (33.3%), and PAS positivity around eccrine glands (11.1%). Conclusion: The findings of our study were similar to the histopathological findings of late-term skin lesions in LP patients previously described in the literature. In order to better understand the histopathological findings of skin lesions of LP patients, studies with a large number of patients including early skin lesions of LP are needed.

Materials and Methods: The prospective study included a total of 225 lesions from 69 patients with the ages between 1 and 70 years who were admitted to our dermatology clinic between March 1, 2016, and August 1, 2016, diagnosed with CL using smears of skin lesions, and did not receive any previous antileishmanial treatment. Results: When the lesions were dermoscopically examined for their general characteristics, the most common findings were erythema (100%), teardrop-like structures (59.1%), and hyperkeratosis (53.3%). The most common vascular structures in the lesions were linear vessels (50.2%), dotted vessels (39.6%), and hairpin-like vessels (32.9%). Conclusion: Our data were comparable to those of the previous studies in literature. Although there is no specific dermoscopic feature specific to CL, we presume that dermoscopic findings may contribute to differential diagnosis in the presence of clinically similar cutaneous lesions.

Adverse cutaneous drug reactions (ACDRs) can mimic a variety of dermatologic diseases, causing confusion and additional work-up for differential diagnoses. In this report, a case who admitted with non-follicular pustules with extensive targetoid lesions during follow-up is presented. In this case, erythema multiforme (EM)-like lesions were predominant and pustules that were concordant with acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis were thought to be triggered after drug intake. ACDRs can mimic several different infectious and inflammatory entities, and they should be kept in mind in cases accompanied by EM-like lesions with pustules. To our knowledge, EM-like lesions with a small number of pustules are first described in the literature in this case report.
