  41. <description><![CDATA[<p>Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is an effective and minimally invasive treatment for actinic keratosis, basal cell carcinoma and photoaging, preserving healthy tissue. Its application with LED or daylight allows it to be adapted to each patient, offering excellent aesthetic results. In my practice in Barcelona, I use fractionated CO2 laser to enhance drug absorption and improve treatment efficacy.</p>

On the other hand, in PDT with natural light, drug activation is progressive, so the treatment is less painful.&nbsp;</p>
  165. <p>After the session, it is normal for the skin to show redness, slight swelling and peeling in the following days, similar to a mild sunburn. In some cases, small scabs may appear on the treated areas, which is part of the skin regeneration process.

  281. <description><![CDATA[<p>A cutaneous horn is a rare dermatological lesion that typically appears as a bump on the skin composed of keratin. While its appearance may be startling, it is important to understand that, in many cases, a cutaneous horn can be associated with benign, precancerous, or even malignant conditions. In this article, I explain what it is, why it forms, and how it is treated, so you can learn more about this condition and its relevance to skin care.</p>

  317. <p>A cutaneous horn is a skin lesion that appears as a rigid protrusion or growth primarily made of keratin, the same protein that makes up our nails and hair. Visually, it can resemble a horn emerging from the skin, which is where its name comes from. Although its appearance may alarm some,<b> the cutaneous horn is not a disease in itself, but rather a manifestation of an underlying skin problem.</b></p> </div>

  326.            These lesions vary in size, with some being small while others can reach several centimeters in length. A cutaneous horn can appear anywhere on the body, although it is more common in sun-exposed areas such as the face, scalp, ears, and hands. It affects both men and women, although it is more common in people over 60 years of age.

  344.            A cutaneous horn forms due to an accumulation of keratin in the skin, but this buildup is not random. It is related to an underlying skin lesion. This is crucial from a dermatological perspective, because although the horn itself may not be dangerous, it signals that benign, precancerous, or even malignant conditions could exist at the base of the cutaneous horn. <a href="https://consensus.app/papers/historic-perspective-skin-lesions-anomalies-bondeson/5e1b7816fd7eb68dbbc10e19655187d3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">(Bondeson, 2015)</a>.

  367. <p>One of the most common questions I hear in consultations is whether a cutaneous horn is dangerous. The short answer is: it depends. Not all cutaneous horns are dangerous, but some can be secondary to a malignant lesion. What really matters is the base of the lesion, as I mentioned earlier. Many cutaneous horns develop over benign lesions, such as seborrheic keratosis, which are not dangerous. However, in other cases, the cutaneous horn may form over an actinic keratosis (a precancerous lesion), or, in more serious cases, over a squamous cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer. <a href="https://consensus.app/papers/histopathological-analysis-cutaneous-horn-diagnosing-potential/4c3219a44a32223129a0977154b759b4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">(Reddy et al., 2013)</a>.</p> </div>

Therefore, although it is not always dangerous, it is essential that any cutaneous horn be evaluated by a dermatologist to rule out serious issues. <a href="https://consensus.app/papers/cutaneous-horn-etiology-risks-treatment-review-literature/934f24010b6f8d9e89be83edddfa2859" target="_blank" rel="noopener">(Yu et al., 2019)</a>.</p> </div>

  391.            The diagnosis of a cutaneous horn is usually straightforward due to its characteristic appearance. However, it is crucial to perform a biopsy in most cases to evaluate the underlying lesion. Through the biopsy, we can determine whether the base of the lesion is benign, precancerous, or malignant, which allows us to decide on the most appropriate treatment. <a href="https://consensus.app/papers/biopsy-procedure-best-approach-suspected-cutaneous-horn/9c652dc64e5f450e988cb579b8d761a7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">(Meyerson et al., 2017)</a>.

  607. <p>Oral sunscreen involves the <b>use of supplements containing active ingredients that protect the skin from the inside against the harmful effects of solar radiation,</b> especially ultraviolet (UV) radiation, but also visible light and infrared. These supplements include antioxidants, vitamins, and carotenoids, which act directly on our cells to reduce damage caused by sun exposure.</p><p>The mechanism of action of these compounds is quite interesting. They work primarily as antioxidants and anti-inflammatories. For example, they reduce the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are the molecules responsible for cellular damage and skin aging. Additionally, some of these ingredients help repair the DNA of cells and strengthen the skin’s immune response against sun damage. <a href="https://librarysearch.lse.ac.uk/discovery/fulldisplay?docid=cdi_doaj_primary_oai_doaj_org_article_f301e8fce5344799b566a1a021341ee2&amp;context=PC&amp;vid=44LSE_INST:44LSE_VU1&amp;lang=en&amp;search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&amp;adaptor=Primo%20Central&amp;query=creator%2Cexact%2CSmith%2C%20Joan%2CAND&amp;facet=citedby%2Cexact%2Ccdi_FETCH-LOGICAL-c439t-c2cb722b6db9664370d86a25f75419e835baf9ce67fc700533873963955871a63&amp;offset=10">(Parrado et al., 2018)</a>.</p> </div>

  615. <p>The term “oral sunscreen” may not be the most accurate in this context. When we think of sun protection, we usually picture the classic sunscreen that physically or chemically blocks UV rays. Oral supplements, on the other hand, do not directly block UV radiation. Instead, they protect the skin from within, helping to minimize cellular damage that has already occurred.</p>
  616.  
  617. <p>For this reason, I prefer to see oral sunscreen as a way to help the skin cope with sun damage rather than as a preventive barrier. The most common ingredients in these supplements, such as <em>Polypodium leucotomos</em> or nicotinamide, do not prevent exposure to UV rays. What they do is reduce inflammation, improve DNA repair, and decrease oxidative stress, all key factors in mitigating the cumulative damage caused by sun exposure.</p>

  640. So, what ingredients are present in these supplements and what effects do they have on our skin? Here are some of the most common ones:
  641. <ul>
  642. <li><strong>Polypodium leucotomos</strong>: This fern extract is probably one of the most studied and recognized for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, it has been shown to help repair the DNA of damaged cells and may prevent sun-related skin disorders, such as photodermatosis. <a href="https://consensus.app/papers/role-polypodium-leucotomos-photoprotection-parrado/dbc9466a5d3256e4b04421ca4c39002e/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" >(Parrado et al., 2020)</a>.</li>
  643. <li><strong>Nicotinamide (Vitamin B3)</strong>: This compound has been shown to be highly effective in preventing non-melanoma skin cancers by improving DNA repair and protecting the skin from sun-induced immunosuppression. <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/phpp.12100" target="_blank" rel="noopener" >(Chen et al., 2014)</a>.</li>
  644. <li><strong>Carotenoids</strong>: These are pigments found in brightly colored fruits and vegetables, such as beta-carotene and lycopene. Studies have shown that these compounds are effective in reducing skin pigmentation caused by UVA rays. <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32072695/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">(Baswan et al., 2020)</a>.</li>
  645. <li><strong>Omega-3 Fatty Acids</strong>: The fatty acids found in fish oil are well known for their anti-inflammatory properties. In the context of photoprotection, they help reduce oxidative damage and inflammation caused by sun exposure. <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7926776/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">(Fania et al., 2021)</a>.</li>

  654. <p>Sun damage <b>is not something that is immediately noticeable, but it accumulates over time.</b>. Every time your skin is exposed to the sun, especially without protection, cellular damage occurs that, although not immediately visible, can lead to serious problems over the years. This cumulative damage not only accelerates skin aging—wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and sunspots—but also <b>significantly increases the risk of developing skin cancer.</b></p><p>Over time, constant exposure to UV radiation causes a series of mutations in the DNA of skin cells. These alterations can interfere with the normal process of cellular regeneration, facilitating the development of melanomas and other types of cancer, such as basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma. For this reason, combining topical sunscreen with the use of oral sunscreen becomes key in reducing these negative effects in the long term. <a href="https://consensus.app/papers/photoprotection-future-challenges-opportunities-krutmann/ba5653de6ae958e1a4e3c8c842bab7d0/?utm_source=chatgpt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">(Krutmann et al., 2020)</a>.</p> </div>

  665. <p>Chronic sun damage is clearly visible in the case of two 61-year-old twin sisters, Jeanne and Susan. Although they share the same genetics, their sun exposure habits have made a significant difference in their appearance. Jeanne, who has avoided prolonged sun exposure, has much smoother and less aged skin, while Susan, who has been regularly exposed to the sun in Florida, shows evident signs of premature aging, such as sunspots and deep wrinkles. A study showed that Susan appears more than 10 years older than Jeanne due to accumulated sun damage. This example highlights how ultraviolet (UV) radiation and a lack of sun protection can accelerate skin aging, underscoring the importance of using sunscreen and adopting habits that limit direct sun exposure.</p> </div>

  712. <p>There are numerous studies supporting the benefits of oral sunscreen.

  720. <p>It is important to remember that oral sunscreen should not replace traditional sunscreen. <b>Oral supplements are a complementary tool and should not be seen as a standalone solution. </b>Avoiding the sun with physical measures (staying under an umbrella, avoiding direct sun exposure, using hats and sunglasses, etc.) and the topical application of sunscreens remains the most effective way to block UV radiation directly on the skin.</p><p>Another limitation is that <b>The effects of oral sunscreen are not immediate. </b>Most studies suggest that consistent intake over several weeks is required to observe benefits for the skin. So, if you decide to incorporate these supplements, keep in mind that it is a long-term commitment.</p> </div>

  728. <p>In summary, oral sunscreen is a strategy that effectively complements traditional sun protection measures. Although it does not replace topical sunscreens, it helps reduce the impact of sun damage on the deeper layers of the skin. As research progresses, it is likely that we will see new combinations of ingredients that further improve results.</p><p>If you’re interested in providing more comprehensive protection for your skin, I encourage you to consider incorporating oral sunscreen into your routine, always alongside a good topical sunscreen and proper skincare habits. <b>Remember, the sun is unforgiving, but with the right protection, we can minimize its impact on our skin. </b>And don’t forget to visit a dermatologist if you have any concerns about your skin or signs of photoaging. </p> </div>

In my dermatological career, I have had the opportunity to study and care for a wide variety of cases, and today I want to immerse you in a topic that often goes unnoticed and is the subject of much controversy: moles on the soles of the feet and palms of the hands.&nbsp;</span></p>
  1187. <p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Have you ever wondered why moles on hands and feet deserve special attention?</span><span style="color: var( --e-global-color-text ); text-align: var(--text-align);"><br></span></p>
  1188. <p>Although these small skin "companions" may go unnoticed due to their unusual location, their importance and the care they require are just as crucial as those of any other mole on our body.&nbsp;<span style="text-align: var(--text-align); color: var( --e-global-color-text );">From their appearance to their possible link to skin cancer, we will explore together the mysteries and concerns surrounding these moles, as well as the steps we can take to keep our skin in optimal health.&nbsp;</span></p>

  1217. <p>The main reason for moles on the soles of the feet and the palms of the hands is <b>because the skin in this area is different and is called acral skin.</b>. In general terms, the stratum corneum of the epidermis is much thicker and folds giving a fingerprint appearance. This makes moles in these areas acquire different characteristics and in the past it was more difficult to characterize them as benign or malignant. </p><p>As you can see in the following images, I have put a magnified photo of these folds and also how they look under the microscope. The skin in this location is very special and that will make the moles on the soles of the skin and the palms of the hands look totally different as well. </p> </div>

  2602. <li><b>Take frequent cold baths or showers to relieve pain. </b>As soon as you get out of the bath or shower, gently pat yourself dry, but leave some water on your skin. Next, apply a moisturizer to help retain water in the skin. This can help relieve dryness and tightness of the skin.</li>
  2603. <li><b>Use a moisturizer containing aloe vera or soy to help soothe sunburned skin. </b>If a particular area is particularly bothersome, you can apply a hydrocortisone corticosteroid cream that you can buy without a prescription. </li>
  2604. <li><b>Do not treat sunburn with local anesthetic products.</b> "-caine" (such as benzocaine), as they may irritate the skin or cause an allergic reaction.</li>
  2605. <li><b>Consider taking aspirin, acetaminophen or ibuprofen to help reduce swelling, redness and discomfort.</b></li>
  2606. <li><b>Drink more water.</b> Sunburn draws fluid to the surface of the skin and away from the rest of the body. Drinking more water when you are sunburned helps prevent dehydration.</li>
  2607. <li><b> If you get blisters on your skin, let them heal.</b> Blistering means you have a second-degree sunburn. You should not pop the blisters, as they form to help the skin heal and protect you from infection.</li>
  2608. <li><b>Take extreme precautions to protect sunburned skin while it heals.</b> Wear clothing that covers your child's skin when outdoors. </li>
