Mar 4, 2019 · Abstract. Moist desquamation occurs in approximately 36% of patients who receive radiation therapy and is associated with severe opioid-resistant pain and discomfort. Moist desquamation is typically at its worst within 1 to 3 weeks after treatment conclusion and resolves over a period of 6 weeks.

Regular superficial chemical peelsare an excellent method for keeping the stratum corneum healthy and functioning optimally. Some examples are alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), beta hydroxy acids (BHA), trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and Jessner’s solution. Depending on the acids used, the mechanisms of action vary. Hydroxy acids.AHA and BHA work by dissolvin...
Whichever acid or blend of acids chosen, the solution is applied to destroy specific skin layers, which are spontaneously eliminated over a period of several days. The repair mechanisms of the epidermis and dermis are subsequently induced, leading to a thickening of the viable epidermis and a thinning of excess stratum corneum corneocytes. Even whe...
One well-studied benefit of topical retinoids(vitamin A) is their ability to create a more organized, denser epidermis and stratum corneum. This works to regulate desquamation and keep the stratum corneum at its ideal thickness. There are a variety of retinoids that are used for peeling: vitamin A derivatives that are usually esters or beta-caroten...
Retinoids are non-caustic chemical substances that are typically cream formulations and applied to ultimately get converted to retinoid acid (RA)to induce change in the skin and normalize desquamation. The peeling seen post-retinoid peel is dependent on the skin type of the client, the specific form of vitamin A used and its concentration. In the d...
Some topical treatment products contain the same category of enzymes that are naturally present in the skin and are a critical part of regulating desquamation. Some of these are papain from papaya fruit and bromelain from pineapple. By introducing these proteolytic enzymes topically, desquamation is encouraged and the impacted corneocytes are remov...
Impeded desquamationis an expected outcome of aging and climate, even for those that do not suffer from diseases that would disrupt the process. Using any of the above-mentioned strategies can help support and maintain healthy skin desquamation and keep the skin moisture levels intact. A secondary benefit of actively maintaining proper desquamation...

Mar 27, 2014 · Next: Physical Examination. Miliaria is a common disorder of the eccrine sweat glands that often occurs in conditions of increased heat and humidity. Miliaria is thought to be caused by blockage of the sweat ducts, which results in the leakage of eccrine sweat into the epidermis or dermis.
