After hardening of the paraffin medium, a microtome slices the specimen. Granular deposits of IgA in the dermal papillae is characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis.[14]. By postoperative day 7–10, patients can wear make-up to camouflage the erythema. (A,B) In the SD, a heavy infiltrate of fibroblasts and lymphocytes was found, and collagen bundles were fine and organized parallel to each other. Care should also be taken to feather the peeling agent into the hairline and eyebrows to avoid demarcation between peeled and unpeeled skin. [20], Cushing's syndrome, chronic glucocorticoid use, and pregnancy are other conditions causing striae distensae. Another study prospectively compared the effects of 30% TCA peeling, carbon dioxide laser resurfacing, and topical 5% fluorouracil (applied twice daily for 3 weeks) on skin cancer prevention and in the treatment of actinic keratoses. A 64-year-old woman, who has always been proud of her suntanned, healthy look, is referred to a dermatologist with a blue-violet, painless, 1.5-cm lump in the skin of her left shoulder. 2002 Jul, Pepe G,Giusti B,Sticchi E,Abbate R,Gensini GF,Nistri S, Marfan syndrome: current perspectives. Cutaneous depositional diseases involve the deposition of endogenous or exogenous substances in the dermis or subcutaneous tissue. After, the tissue sample is embedded in paraffin. Hyperplasias of the papillary and periadnexal dermis (adventitial dermis) are classified as primary or secondary processes. The separation between dermis and hypodermis is less easily made with the microscope than in the gross lab. Radiology case reports. Lichen amyloidosis (LA) shows lichenoid, brown-purple, waxy papules and plaques over the knee . Fibroblasts, the principal cell of the dermis, handle the synthesis of collagen, elastic and reticular fibers, and extracellular matrix material. [38] Similarly, Stage II pressure ulcers, as described by the NPUAP, expose the dermis.[39]. The dermis of skin consists of two layers, a thin papillary layer immediately beneath the epidermis and a thick reticular layer. The papillary dermis from the skin biopsy described in Question 21 is examined at higher magnification (shown in the image). 2010 Nov, Heng JK,Aw DC,Tan KB, Solar elastosis in its papular form: uncommon, mistakable. 2014 Jan, Ceilley RI, Treatment of Actinic Purpura. If an HSV infection is suspected, the dosage of Valtrex should be increased to 1 g three times daily until the infection resolves. In contrast to collagen, the biochemical configuration of elastin allows for gliding, stretching, and recoiling of fibers. Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dermatology. Typically, the endpoint of white speckles appearing on a background of pink skin occurs within 3 min of application. Figure 1.Histology of the keloid dermis at different depths. Trends in endocrinology and metabolism: TEM. The papillary dermis is composed of loose connective tissue that is highly vascular. As for superficial peels, the first step in the procedure is skin preparation. The alcohol agent is then cleared using xylol. Macular amyloid is a keratin-derived deposition produced by chronic scratching. Note the absence of red blood cell extravasation and inflammation. [19] These three genetic disorders, along with other inherited diseases, may rarely cause reactive elastosis perforans serpingosa, in which transepithelial elimination of elastic fibers manifests clinically as papules in an annular or serpiginous pattern. The underlying epithelium is initially brightly erythematous and gradually fades to a pinker color. Please note many of these diseases can affect other cutaneous layers and organs of the body. Letter A labels the reticular dermis, so named because of the network of coarse, type I collagen fibers (Letter B indicates the papillary dermis). Reports: ... Epidermal collarette surrounding a well-circumscribed and lobular proliferation of small vessels within the papillary dermis in a hemangioma. Understanding the normal anatomy and physiology of the dermis is paramount in mastering the cutaneous manifestations of the diseases listed below. This undulating pattern is more apparent in thick skin of the hands and palms. The American Journal of dermatopathology. Letter C labels Meissner's corpuscles, which are mechanosensory receptors that respond primarily to light touch and low frequency stimuli. Most often, medium-depth peels are performed as a combination technique. [26][27] Researchers have also observed persistent activation of fibroblasts in the dermis in morphea and nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. Edema also develops in the first 1–2 days and the face starts to appear to have a mild to moderate sunburn. Capillaries are frequent. A Congo red or other amyloid stains can help highlight the amyloid in difficult cases. Syringocystadenoma papilliferum is another papillary apocrine tumor with a verrucous surface and multiple downward epidermal invaginations creating poral surface openings that transform in their depths into apocrine linings with a papillary architecture.3,15 The stroma evinces an overwhelming plasma cell infiltrate. Furthermore, infection may even occur in patients who are on antiviral prophylaxis. Histology reveals basophilic degeneration of elastic fibers in the dermis. TCA peels at lower concentrations of 25–35% can be used as single-agent peels when a more superficial medium-depth peel is desired, especially in more sensitive skin areas such as the neck or eyelids. Experimental dermatology. 2015 Sep, Zimmerman A,Bai L,Ginty DD, The gentle touch receptors of mammalian skin. The papillary layer of the dermis contains finer caliber collagen fibers and is more cellular than the reticular layer, which is marked by thicker collagen bundles and fewer cells. 2014 Feb, Ud-Din S,McGeorge D,Bayat A, Topical management of striae distensae (stretch marks): prevention and therapy of striae rubrae and albae. maximally keratinized stratified squamous epithelium composed mainly of … Numerous small postcapillary venules with thickened, brightly eosinophilic vessel walls are present in the papillary dermis. Methods: We observed an index case in which PPDE was the salient histologic finding in lesions of tinea corporis. Many authors have discussed the clinical signs that may indicate the histologic depth of the TCA peels. The mutations in dermal collagen result in skin hypermobility and fragility. Haemophagocytosis. Lichenoid Brown-Purple Waxy Papules and Plaques. Alternatively, what initially appears to be normal skin at scan can be approached systematically, starting in the stratum corneum looking for organisms, then moving deeper to look for absence of granular layer, followed by the epidermal pattern, alteration in pigmentation, deposition in the dermal papillae, perivascular or interstitial infiltrate, and down to the eccrine glands looking for silver granules. The dermal blood supply also plays a role in temperature regulation discussed below. A quantitative evaluation of this feature was obtained by measuring the cross-sectional surface occupied by dermal papillae at around 10 μm below their tips in both healthy and psoriatic skin. Note the finer arrangement of collagen fibers in the papillary dermis as opposed to the very coarse fibers of the reticular dermis (so-called because the coarse type I collagen fibers in this layer form an interlacing network, or "reticulum.") Deep pressure receptors also exist. As a result, minor trauma can lead to extravasation of blood. [30] Similar manifestations may be seen in chronic glucocorticoid users. The degree of whitening or frosting correlates with the depth of TCA penetration. In comparison to superficial peels, postoperative care following a TCA peel is more involved. 2011 Nov, Gaviria JL,Ortega VG,Gaona J,Motta A,Medina Barragán OJ, Unusual Dermatological Manifestations of Gout: Review of Literature and a Case Report. The papillary layer, located immediately beneath the epidermis, is composed of loose CT. This two-step process allows for a uniform, controlled, penetration of TCA into the papillary dermis. • 1 is located betwen papillary and reticular layers of dermis • 1 is located between dermis and hypodermis Thin branches leave these 2 arterial plexuses and _______ Clinical and experimental immunology. The reticular layer is the deep layer, forming a thick layer of dense connective tissue that constitutes the bulk of the dermis. The dermis houses blood vessels, nerve endings, hair follicles, and glands. Note the finer arrangement of collagen fibers in the papillary dermis as opposed to the very coarse fibers of the reticular dermis (so-called because the coarse type I collagen fibers in this layer form an interlacing network, or "reticulum.") [22][23] A careful histopathological examination is required to differentiate among keloids, hypertrophic scars, dermatofibromas, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, and scleroderma due to similar histopathologic findings. Infection, although rare as TCA and phenol are bactericidal, can be seen and may be bacterial, viral, or fungal in origin. The effectiveness of the peel is determined by the depth of penetration and is proportional to the degree of degreasing. The underlying cause should be determined and possible irritants avoided. Tissue samples, stained with Congo red dye, may be examined under polarized light, producing a characteristic apple-green birefringence of protein deposits in amyloidosis. 1. Archives of dermatology. With medium-depth peels, erythema usually resolves by the second month. 14.11). If the deposits are large, there is often attenuation of the overlying epidermis.340 There are no pigmented cells, and inflammatory cells are scarce.341, Clinically normal skin will show deposits of amyloid in the dermis, usually in the walls of blood vessels, in more than 50% of biopsies in cases of primary systemic amyloidosis.342 A recent study found cutaneous amyloid deposits in 97% of cases of systemic amyloidosis, making skin biopsy a preferred method of diagnosis of systemic amyloidosis.268 Abdominal fat aspiration is another procedure,343 but a large series from the Mayo Clinic found a low yield by this technique.344. The perioral and periorbital regions are treated last, owing to the increased sensitivity of these areas. At this depth, dermal papillae dominate the images and their density is high (see Fig. Papillary dermis: The papillary dermis consists of bundles of collagen fibrils and oxytalan elastic fibers. Glomus tumors can also occur within the dermis and deeper tissues, especially within the digits and palms where glomus bodies are concentrated. Metabolically active fibroblasts populate the dermis, with greater activity seen in the papillary than the reticular dermis. Diameter of collagen fibrils in the normal mature dermis decreases from the papillary (53 ± 3.0 nm) to the reticular (82 ± 4.9 nm) dermis 5 (Figure 2). Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology : JEADV. Combining these two peels prevents the development of “hot spots,” which can lead to the undesired side-effects of scarring and pigmentary alteration. Apically, the papillae … For the treatment of thicker epidermal growths such as thick seborrheic keratosis and actinic keratosis, increased penetration of TCA is required. There are two definitive layers of the dermis. Collagen and extracellular components like hyaluronic acid fortify the skin and facilitate an anchor for the epidermis via hemidesmosomes and other adhesive basement membrane zone (BMZ) components. 20.3G). [6] Oxytalan fibers may also play a role in anchoring the epidermis. The papillary dermis and superficial reticular dermis are free of HA. [5] Fibroblasts are the principal cell of the dermis. While skin complaints are not required for diagnosis, patients are prone to the development of striae distensae (stretch marks) due to rapid growth phases in adolescence. Often vacuolar degeneration of basal keratinocytes and apoptotic bodies (colloid or Civatte bodies). As the peel is applied, there is an immediate burning sensation, which abates within minutes. [25] Acanthosis nigricans results from increased growth factor receptor signaling causing proliferation of epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts, leading to hyperkeratosis and papillomatosis ("peaks and valleys") on histopathology. Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology. 14.12) and pilosebaceous units are involved in areas of alopecia.315,340 The rare bullous lesions are caused by intradermal cleavage within the amyloid deposits.312,341 There is often clefting about and within the amyloid in the larger papular lesions. The reticular layer is the deep layer, forming a thick layer of dense connective tissue that constitutes the bulk of the dermis. (ltematoxylin and eosin stain. 32 Furthermore, both neutrophils and eosinophils are the predominant infiltrating cells in linear IgA bullous dermatosis. [32] Mastocytosis describes a spectrum of rare diseases involving an increase in mast cells within the skin and other organs. This layer contains loose connective tissue, and it has many capillaries. 2008 Aug, Macri A,Cook C, Urticaria Pigmentosa (Cutaneous Mastocytosis) null. The pale stained regions indicated by the arrows are projections of the papillary dermis known as dermal papillae. These nerve endings sense hair movement and act as mechanoreceptors allowing sensation to extend beyond the skin's surface. The sebaceous lobules and muscle bundles are well preserved. 212 Hyperplasia of the Papillary Dermis with Formation of Parallel Bundles of Streaked Collagen (Lamellar Hyperplasia) The epidermis is hyperplastic and ltyperpigmented. Papillary mesenchymal bodies can serve as an important clue to trichoepithelioma. The dermis or corium is a layer of skin between the epidermis (with which it makes up the cutis) and subcutaneous tissues, that primarily consists of dense irregular connective tissue and cushions the body from stress and strain. Journal of mid-life health. Glycerine and an extract from plant saponin are added to promote uniform application and penetration. Identify the structures indicated by the arrows. The more superficial of the two is the papillary layer. • 1 is located betwen papillary and reticular layers of dermis • 1 is located between dermis and hypodermis Thin branches leave these 2 arterial plexuses and _______ The eyelid skin can be peeled within 3 mm of the lid margin. The functions of the dermis, in addition to providing structural and tensile strength, include thermoregulation (vasculature), support for adnexal structures, a focus of immune responses, and storage of fluid, electrolytes and nutrients. Another postcapillary venule with thickened, brightly eosinophilic wall. After it has dried completely, 35% TCA can be applied. Layers Papillary layer the lamina densa is attached to the papillary dermis by anchoring fibrils how is the lamina densa attached to the papillary dermis? The dermis is a connective tissue layer of mesenchymal origin located deep to the epidermis and superficial to the subcutaneous fat layer. 2014 Nov 21, Wilgus TA,Wulff BC, The Importance of Mast Cells in Dermal Scarring. The objective of many different combination peels is the same: initially to cause epidermal injury with a superficial peeling agent followed by application of 35–40% TCA. Hyperplasia of the adventitial dermis may … Level I frosting appears as erythema with streaky white frosting. An infection may present as delayed wound healing, folliculitis, or simply as ulceration, superficial erosions, crusting, and drainage. [33] Granulomatous diseases such as sarcoidosis, granuloma annulare, necrobiosis lipoidica, and mycobacterial infections (tuberculosis, leprosy) involve histiocytes within the dermis. Prior to application of the peel, the cutaneous lipids should be removed first by using a gentle cleanser followed by degreasing agents such as alcohol and acetone until no residual oils can be visualized. The dermis also contains two general types of cells postnatally. By continuing you agree to the use of cookies. In the first dermal layer of healthy skin, collagen fibers have a small size and a curly appearance, and they form a very complex and dense network. The structure of the dermis provides a connective tissue framework for strength, flexibility, and protection of the deeper anatomical structures. (A) Apocrine sweat gland, excretory portion Colloid masses are clefted or fissured, and these fissures may be lined with fibroblasts (figure 4 arrow). The presence of papillae is still evident when moving deeper into the tissue, where the space around them starts to be filled with collagen. Identify the structures indicated by the arrows. This sparse deposition can be easily overlooked and may mimic normal skin. 2017 Apr-Jun, Puri N, A study of pathogenesis of acanthosis nigricans and its clinical implications. Nutrients via blood support the epidermis, hair follicles, and sweat glands. The hypodermis lies beneath the skin but is not part of it. The vascular network further permits the dermis to host an inflammatory response via recruitment of neutrophils, lymphocytes, and other inflammatory cells. The histology of PC is characteristic but not pathognomonic. Multiple coats of the peel containing either 15% or 20% TCA are applied to reach the desired endpoints: papillary dermal penetration (light Blue Peel®) or upper reticular dermal penetration (light/medium Blue Peel®). Case reports in dermatology. These cold compresses are applied over the next 10–15 min until the patient is feeling more comfortable. First, the density of dermal papillae is higher compared with healthy skin. Level 2 frosting is appropriate for periorbital skin and most other areas on the face, and level 3 frosting should be reserved for areas with increased sebaceous glands, thicker skin, and areas of heavy actinic damage. 20.3M–O) is the elongated dermal papillae. Longer downtime than superficial peels: 7–14 days. 2015 Jul, Yurchenco PD,Patton BL, Developmental and pathogenic mechanisms of basement membrane assembly. The network is less complex and the direction of the fibers is more ordered. In many patients who are undergoing a full-face procedure, a tapering course of steroids (e.g. Experimental dermatology. Sunscreen can be applied as soon as re-epithelialization is complete. Histology Learning System [ Integument, reticular dermis, papillary dermis] MA is illustrated by the presence of subtle eosinophilic globules of amyloid in the papillary dermis. MA is seen on the back, which is a classic location. Pacinian corpuscles in the deep dermis or hypodermis have an onion-like appearance on cross-sectional views. Collagen patterns are mostly horizontal throughout. The dermis also contains nerve endings, blood vessels, and adnexal structures such as hair shafts, sweat glands, and sebaceous glands. On histopathology, haemotoxylin and eosin stain showed a normal-appearing papillary dermis; however, Verhoeff-van Gieson elastic stain showed absent elastic fibres in the papillary dermis. The wooden part of the cotton-tipped applicator can be used to treat deeper perioral rhytides. Dermal papillae are the protrusions of dermal connective tissue into the epidermal layer. The key difference between papillary and reticular layer is that papillary layer is the thin superficial layer of the dermis composed of loose connective tissue while the reticular layer is the deeper thick layer of the dermis composed of dense connective tissue. It extends up into the epidermis in small projections called dermal papillae. Partial-thickness burns, also known as second-degree burns, destroy the epidermis and extend into the dermis. HSV prophylaxis is recommended in all patients. The main factors influencing penetration of the peel include degreasing, the amount of peeling agent used, type of applicator, duration of contact with skin, degree of rubbing/pressure of application, the sebaceous nature of the skin being treated, and the number of coats applied. Following the peel, erythema is present within the first hour as the frosting completely resolves. Valtrex (500 mg, twice daily) is most often used for prophylaxis. [35] Cutaneous manifestations of hematologic malignancy, such as leukemia cutis, also involve leukocytic infiltration into the skin layers. International journal of surgical pathology. The dermis can be divided into two layers: a superficial layer called the papillary layer, and a deeper layer called the reticular layer. Annales de dermatologie et de venereologie. Wound care is with acetic acid or normal saline soaks followed by a petrolatum-based ointment. The thickened papillary dermis is composed of a pale delicate fibrillar matrix, which con- tains ectatic vessels. Complications include irregular pigmentation, prolonged erythema, infection, delayed wound healing, and scarring. In the papillary dermis: a confluent, band-like, dense inflammation of mainly small lymphocytes and a few histiocytes, along or hugging the dermoepidermal junction. The papillary layer contains dermal papillae which alternate with epidermal pegs. The dermis is divided into two regions: the superficial, or papillary dermis, and the more substantial reticular dermis. Cutaneous collagenous vasculopathy. David Weedon AO MD FRCPA FCAP(HON), in Weedon's Skin Pathology (Third Edition), 2010, Papular lesions result from deposits of amyloid in the papillary dermis; in plaques there is a more diffuse dermal infiltration, sometimes with extension into the subcutis (Fig. Patients should be instructed to avoid the natural urge to pick the peeling skin. To facilitate blending, the neck can be treated with 25% TCA. In this example, the melanophages are abundantly and evenly present in the papillary dermis. Nodular amyloidosis is characterized by large deposits of amyloid in the dermis and subcutis of the skin. It can affect the papillary dermis, the reticular dermis, or both. Sun avoidance is crucial during the first few weeks after the peel. Specialized structures called glomus bodies also take part in thermoregulation through AV shunt formation. Hyperkeratosis with follicular plugging, atrophy of epidermis and homogenization of the collagen in the papillary dermis (arrow) in lichen sclerosus (et atrophicus). [29] The reduction of connective tissue in aging, usually with concomitant UV damage, causes actinic purpura (i.e., senile purpura) where the dermis cannot support its vasculature. Rete ridges are the extensions of epidermis into the dermal layer. Although a TCA peel can be used singly at a concentration of 40–50%, combining it with a superficial agent leads to more predictable results. Between the fibrous components lies an amorphous extracellular "ground substance" containing glycosaminoglycans, such as hyaluronic acid, proteoglycans, and glycoproteins. The reticular dermis shows thick collagen bundles and forms the bulk of the dermal layer. Reported clinical results included smoother skin texture, decreased wrinkling and striae, and fading of lentigines and other pigmentary abnormalities. Most medium-depth peels produce a level II frosting. This can be achieved either by briskly rubbing the solution into the lesion or by lightly curetting or freezing the lesion before or after the TCA application. Mycobacterium leprae infects Schwann cells of peripheral nerves leading to diminished or absent cutaneous sensation in leprosy. Meissner's corpuscles and Pacinian corpuscles can also be distinguished upon light microscopy. BCL2 staining is diffusely positive in basal cell carcinoma, while highlighting the basal layer of trichoepitheliomas. Cool compresses and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be used to reduce the swelling and inflammation. For example, linear deposition of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and complement (C3) along the dermoepidermal junction is characteristic of bullous pemphigoid. (A,B) Atrophic and degenerate cells, as well as hyalinized collagen fibers were found in the DD. Papillary layer of dermis. Hyperpigmentation is almost always transient and can be treated effectively with topical hydroquinones. Occasionally, several vacuolar spaces were found just under the basal lamina. This procedure, originally termed the CROSS (chemical reconstruction of skin scars) technique, consists of precise application of TCA (65–100%) with sharp wooden applicators every 6 weeks for six sessions. Histology Learning System [ Integument, reticular dermis, papillary dermis] Indicated primarily for moderate actinic damage, dyschromia, photo-aging, superficial rhytides, scarring, and epidermal growths. Pseudoxanthoma elasticum-like papillary dermal elastolysis (PXE-PDE) is a clinicopathological entity first described by Rongioletti and Rebora in 1992 (1). These lesions are classically seen on extensor surfaces. Indian journal of dermatology. The tissue sample should first be fixated with formalin to preserve tissue structure. Postcapillary venules in the papillary dermis, Lined by a single layer of flat endothelial cells, The walls thickened due to abundant deposition of collagen, Focal splitting and reduplication of the basement membrane, No extravasation of red blood cells and no hemosiderin deposition, No or limited perivascular inflammatory cell infiltrate, Homogeneous eosinophilic material in the thickened walls, Reactive with antibodies against type IV collagen and laminin, Ultrastructural analysis demonstrates material to be composed of collagen with abnormal banding pattern (Luse bodies). In the example shown, this imaging technique allowed measuring a length of the dermal papillae that is 60% longer in psoriasis and almost doubled in size, in comparison with healthy skin. [24] Lichen sclerosis is an inflammatory disorder involving abnormal fibroblast function in the papillary dermis, causing fibrosis of the superficial dermis and epidermis. EM shows ultrastructural components of hemidesmosomes, the lamina lucida (LL), the lamina densa (LD), and various anchoring fibrils. The Journal of investigative dermatology. Tumour thickness in mm and the presence of ulceration are the two features required for staging the primary melanoma. Mast cells are typically found surrounding dermal capillaries. [10], Polarizing light microscopy is useful in the diagnosis of depositional diseases such as amyloidosis and gout. In addition, it is the zone where horizontally oriented elastic fibers of reticular dermis are replaced by vertically oriented fibers of papillary dermis. 2012, Oakley AM,Ramsey ML, Polymorphic Light Eruption null. Syringocystadenoma Papilliferum. 2014 Apr 1, Kruglikov IL,Scherer PE, Dermal Adipocytes: From Irrelevance to Metabolic Targets? Combined superficial and TCA peels produce safe, predictable results. Sweat glands, their ducts, blood vessels and sensory receptors (Pacinian corpuscles), are located deep in the dermis or in the adjacent hypodermis. Indian journal of plastic surgery : official publication of the Association of Plastic Surgeons of India. Meissner corpuscles are seen in the dermal papillae as oblong structures with neurons in a spiral orientation surrounded by a fibrous capsule. Myofibroblasts, expressing alpha-smooth muscle actin (a-SMA), have been implicated in both hypertrophic scars and keloids. 2015 May, Deacock SJ, An approach to the patient with urticaria. It is divided into two layers, the superficial area adjacent to the epidermis called the papillary region and a deep thicker area known as the reticular dermis. At scan, some biopsies mimic normal skin and require closer inspection or clinical history to determine the diagnosis. The Dermis and Hypodermis. Fig. 2014 Apr 6, Cotta-Pereira G,Guerra Rodrigo F,Bittencourt-Sampaio S, Oxytalan, elaunin, and elastic fibers in the human skin. The papillary dermis from the skin biopsy described in Question 21 is examined at higher magnification (shown in the image). The dermis is tough, and is the layer used to make leather. The superficial papillary dermis possesses thinner elastic fibers compared to the thicker elastic fibers of the reticular dermis. 2018 Jan, Bhat RM,Prakash C, Leprosy: an overview of pathophysiology. Examination of the three-dimensional reconstructed image reveals that papillae in psoriatic lesions have a length of around 100 μm, which is much longer than the length of papillae in healthy skin (around 30 μm). However, the fine collagen network of interwoven curly fibers below the dermo–epidermal junction that is seen in healthy skin is not visible in psoriatic lesions. Full re-epithelialization is usually complete within a week. If, after 3–4 min, some areas appear to have patchy frosting, they may be lightly retouched with the TCA solution. It is an acquired elastolytic disorder that mainly affects the papillary dermis. Focal TCA application was shown to be a safe and effective treatment for resolving benign pigmented lesions such as seborrheic keratoses and solar lentigines in a study of Asian patients with skin types IV–V using spot application of 65% TCA for seborrheic keratoses and 50–65% TCA for lentigines.
