BACKGROUND: Most cutaneous hemangiomas involute spontaneously. However, the lesion existing on the face poses a cosmetic problem during the waiting period for involution. METHODS: Hemangioma showing late involution was treated by local injection of monoethanolamine oleate solution. RESULTS: The lesion flattened and was excised serially. CONCLUSION: Sclerotherapy with monoethanolamine oleate can shorten the waiting period for involution and can decrease the risk of psychosocial trauma. Moreover, it provides good preparation for further surgery. Such sclerotherapy is effective in the treatment of hemangioma with late involution.
Gram-negative folliculitis may be the result of long-term antibacterial treatment in acne patients. It is caused by bacterial interference and replacement of the Gram-positive flora of the facial skin and the mucous membranes of the nose and infestation with Gram-negative bacteria. These Gram-negative bacteria include Escherischia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia marescens, Klebsiella and Proteus mirabilis. The occurrence of Gram-negative folliculitis should be considered in acne patients in whom oral treatment with tetracyclines has not resulted in a significant improvement of acne lesions after 3-6 months' treatment. The occurrence of Gram-negative folliculitis in acne patients is believed to be generally underestimated, since correct sampling and bacteriology is rarely performed by clinicians. Gram-negative folliculitis in acne and rosacea patients is best treated with isotretinoin (0.5-1 mg/kg daily for 4-5 months).
