Pigmented purpuric lichenoid dermatitis of Gougerot-Blum
Pigmented purpuric lichenoid dermatitis of Gougerot-Blum (PPLD) is a chronic, relapsing, uncommon benign variant of pigmented purpuric dermatosis . It typically affects middle-aged men, although it may present earlier in life. The etiology of PPD is unknown, but triggering or contributing factors such as systemic diseases, infections, drugs, foods, venous hypertension, exercise, and capillary fragility have been suggested. . Clinically, PPLD is characterized by minute lichenoid papules that tend to fuse into plaques of various hues, with a predilection for the leg. A skin biopsy is essential in confirming the diagnosis and to exclude cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, which in the early stages may resemble the clinical changes seen in PPD .
MESOPEN
Mesopen is an alternative form of mesotherapy. It helps the penetration of active substances, creating portals of entry into the skin barrier with the creation of controlled micronulls, thanks to its specially designed head (pen with 12 tiny titanium pins), without obvious skin injury. Through this mechanism of action, the penetration capacity of the active substances increases.
