Purpuras include a wide spectrum of cutaneous disorders characterized by extravasation of red blood cells into the skin with consequent release of hemoglobin. Various other pigments deriving from heme are subsequently found into the skin within 2-3 weeks, accounting for the color changes (purple, orange, brown, yellowish, green-blue) which may occur in most purpuric lesions. Too often the factors...
Glycolic acid causes disaggregation of corneocytes at the lower, newly forming levels of stratum corneum. This property may permit efficient clinical controls of different conditions, i.e. dry skin, ichthyosis, follicular hyperkeratosis, and others characterized by retention of stratum corneum. Our study shows a strong increase (compared to the previously not treated area) in Langerhans cells levels...
