Background:
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a severe dermatological disease that significantly reduces life quality. However, the etiology of this disease remains largely unknown.
Objectives:
We sought to identify the factors associated with clinical presentation and the severity of HS. The features of HS between genders and smokers/nonsmokers were compared.
Methods:
A single-center retrospective study of 161 patients with HS was conducted and analyzed.
Results:
The male-to-female ratio in HS was approximately 2:1 in Taiwan. The severity of HS was significantly associated with smoking (odds ratio 2.20,
P
= 0.018). HS in men more frequently occurred in the gluteal region. Nonsmokers in HS tended to have earlier onset age and axillary lesions. Smokers were prone to have exclusive gluteal involvement and negative family history of HS.
Conclusion:
Our data revealed smoking correlated with the severity of HS. Smoking status and gender influence the clinical characteristics in HS.

BRIEF REPORT
Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis associated with
Demodex
overgrowth or demodicosis on the face – A report of five cases

Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis (EPF) is classified into Ofuji disease, immunosuppression-associated EPF, and infancy-associated EPF. The association of EPF with
Demodex
infestation is rarely reported. We report five cases of EPF with
Demodex
overgrowth. All patients were young females presenting with recurrent, itchy papulopustules on the face for 2 months to 2 years. Laboratory tests revealed eosinophilia (
n
= 2) and iron deficiency anemia (
n
= 1). Skin biopsy of papulopustular lesions was performed in each patient, and all revealed folliculocentric infiltration with eosinophils. Infundibular pustules containing
Demodex
mites were found in two patients. All patients had high
Demodex
densities examined by superficial needle-scraping method (7–18 mites/5 pustules) and/or thumbnail-squeezing method (37–255 mites/cm
2
). Based on the clinical and laboratory findings, the patients were either first treated as having demodicosis or as having EPF. According to the treatment responses, the cases might represent
Demodex
-induced EPF or EPF-like reaction (Cases 1–3) or demodicosis superimposed on EPF (Cases 4 and 5). In sum, we report five cases of EPF with
Demodex
overgrowth (demodicosis). These cases illustrate that the possibility of
Demodex
overgrowth should be considered in cases of EPF with incomplete treatment response to indomethacin and/or oral corticosteroids. Conversely, EPF should be considered in cases of demodicosis with incomplete responses to antiparasitic treatment.

Facilitated delivery of topical steroids after fractional ablative carbon dioxide laser failed to prevent the postthyroidectomy hypertrophic scar
Ko-Chien Lin, Shao-Chun Wu, Shun-Yu Chi, Hui-Ping Lin, Cen-Hung Lin, Yueh-Ju Tsai, Mu-Han Hsieh, Shiun-Yuan Hsu, Ching-Hua Hsieh

Background:
The ablative fractional laser can destroy the epidermal barrier and enhance the infiltration and distribution of drugs into the dermis.
Objectives:
This study was designed to investigate whether steroid delivery followed by the fractional ablative laser can prevent the formation of postthyroidectomy scar.
Methods:
This prospective split-scar design study recruited 12 adult female patients who underwent thyroidectomy between March 2018 and December 2018. The whole scar was treated with a fractional ablative carbon dioxide laser with topical 0.05% clobetasol propionate ointment only applied on the treatment side. The Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) questionnaire was used for outcome assessment at 1 year following the first treatment. The follow-up assessment by scar esthetic scale using digital photographs at 6 months and 1 year after first treatment was also done by three blinded plastic surgeons.
Results:
The POSAS revealed the improvement was not significant on vascularity, pigmentation, thickness, relief, pliability, surface area, and overall opinion on the improvement (all
P
> 0.05). The digital photographs evaluation also did not reveal a significant difference between the treatment side and control side. The overall esthetic score in the assessment of digital photographs was 4.4 ± 1.5, 4.2 ± 1.9, and 3.4 ± 1.9 at 6 months, and 2.8 ± 1.9, 3.1 ± 1.9, and 2.4 ± 2.1 at 1 year, with 0–10 indicating totally identical to significantly different comparing the whole scar with surrounding normal skin.
Conclusion:
This prospective scar-split study revealed that the application of topical steroid after fractional ablative carbon dioxide laser has no significant effect to prevent the formation of postthyroidectomy scar.
