BACKGROUND/AIMS: A new device allowing recording capacitance images of the skin surface was recently presented. Parameters, extracted from the gray-level histogram of the images, are tested for a new approach of skin surface hydration measurement in comparison with the classical capacitance method. Illustration of the interest of having both images and parameters for studying the homogeneity and the level of skin surface hydration are presented. METHODS: Software for selecting a region of interest from an image and measuring the parameters derived from its gray-level histogram was used to characterize skin hydration. RESULTS: There is a very close correlation between a Corneometer and the parameters extracted from the SkinChip measurements. The importance of having capacitance images of skin is demonstrated in case of non-homogeneity of the skin hydration, either because of photoaging or following an inflammation process. CONCLUSION: Capacitance imaging is a necessary tool for both completely describing and quantifying skin surface hydration.
The conference highlighted the progress made in understanding recent biological, epidemiological and therapeutic advances in dermatology. Here we provide a synopsis of the main research and clinical findings presented at the meeting of the British Association of Dermatologists (BAD) held during 5-8 July 2005, in Glasgow, U.K., drawing attention to the most important advances and summaries. The BAD meeting was held at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre, Glasgow (Fig. 1). The annual dinner was held in the wonderful setting of Stirling Castle, with Dr Robin Graham-Brown as host.
A 59-year-old woman presented with multiple translucent papules on the inner surface of the tragus of the right ear. Initially they were treated with cryotherapy, with a later biopsy revealing the diagnosis of colloid milium. The histology was unusual for adult colloid milium as the lesion lacked a Grenz zone and evidence of solar elastosis. This together with a lack of aetiological factors made it difficult to classify the subtype of colloid milium.
