Author: KuanAmanda Hui Yu, TeyHong Liang

Journal ArticleAn article published in an academic or professional journal that reports original research or scholarly analysis.

Overview

This study evaluated a new treatment approach for eccrine hidrocystomas (EH), a benign cystic tumor with no established treatment. The authors used topical glycopyrrolate combined with microneedling, which effectively delivered the drug to the EH lesions in the deeper dermis. The treatment resulted in a significant reduction in EH lesions, particularly on the side of the chest where microneedling was applied. The treatment was well-tolerated by the patient and resulted in improved cosmesis.

Original Abstract of the Article :
Eccrine hidrocystomas (EH) are benign cystic tumors of the eccrine glands with no established treatment yet. Eccrine glands are activated by acetylcholine released from innervating sympathetic nerve fibers. Use of oral anti-cholinergic agents is rare due to the possibility of systemic side effects w...See full text at original site

Eccrine Hidrocystomas: A New Approach to Treatment

The realm of dermatology is constantly seeking new and effective treatments for skin conditions. This study investigates a novel approach to treating eccrine hidrocystomas (EH), benign cystic tumors of the eccrine glands, using topical glycopyrrolate and microneedling.

A Novel Oasis in the Desert of Skin Conditions

The researchers successfully treated a patient with EH by applying topical glycopyrrolate followed by microneedling, leading to a significant reduction in the size and number of EH lesions. This innovative approach, combining drug delivery with microneedling, offers a promising alternative to conventional treatments for EH. It's like finding a hidden oasis in the vast desert of skin conditions – a new approach that could provide relief and improvement for patients.

Harnessing the Power of Microneedling

The study highlights the potential of microneedling as a tool for enhancing drug delivery to targeted skin lesions. This technique creates micro-channels in the skin, facilitating the penetration of topical medications and improving their effectiveness. It's like opening a pathway to a hidden oasis – microneedling can create a direct route for therapeutic agents to reach the desired target.

Dr.Camel's Conclusion

This research offers hope for patients with EH, introducing a new and potentially effective treatment approach. Just as a camel adapts to the challenges of the desert, dermatologists are constantly exploring innovative solutions to address various skin conditions. This study's findings suggest that microneedling in combination with topical glycopyrrolate may offer a viable and promising option for managing EH, bringing a ray of hope to those affected.
