Genital Whitening

The female external genitalia, the perianal region, the inner thighs are not exposed to the sun, however they can be stained for different reasons:

  • The skin phototype of the patient has an important role. Patients with dark skin have a greater chance of staining.
  • Birth control hormones increase the chances of hyperpigmentation.
  • Pregnancy too.
  • Diseases with hormonal disorder or polycystic ovarian disease.
  • Waxing with hot wax or epilation with intense pulsed light.
  • Excess weight can promote hyperpigmentation due to increased friction.
  • Tight clothing can also produce stains by friction, rubbing.
  • The passage of time favors hyperpigmentation due to the sum of these factors.

The darkening of the labia majora, the perigenital area, pubis and perianal region affects women psychologically and can cause a loss of confidence and self-esteem when having sex or simply wearing a bathing suit.

In older children, adolescents and adults they usually persist and are often unsightly.

Morphea

 

La esclerodermia es una enfermedad autoinmune de etiología desconocida, más frecuente en mujeres.

El término Esclerodermia significa esclerosis o endurecimiento de la piel. La afección puede ser localizada o sistémica.

Tipos de Morfea

La esclerodermia localizada también llamada Morfea puede tener distintas formas, por ejemplo:

  • Gotas: lesiones pequeñas, superficiales, con muy poca induración y bordes bien definidos.
  • Placas: lesiones de extensión diversa, induradas, de color violáceo.
  • Linear: bandas localizadas sobre todo en los miembros y la cara. La piel se ve indurada y deprimida.

La morfea al involucionar puede sufrir cambios de color, ya sea hiperpigmentaciones o hipopigmentaciones, también se observan lesiones vasculares.

La Morfea suele afectar los tejidos profundos generando depresiones antiestéticas.

Durante años el Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra ha trabajado tanto en actividad hospitalaria como en Hoogstra Centros Médicos tratando esta enfermedad y las secuelas estéticas que produce.

Hoy en día contamos con tecnología láser que nos permite mejorar nuestros resultados y ayudan al paciente a verse y sentirse mejor.

Spots on the lips

Clinical picture

Dark spots on the lips are often benign, occur more frequently in white-skinned patients, are generally single lesions on the lower lip, and are caused by sun exposure.

Treatment

The most effective and least traumatic treatment is the 1064-532 Helios ND Yag Laser.
Although lip melanoma is rare, this type of lesion should be ruled out before treatment.
Other common injuries to the lips are vascular injuries, caused by trauma to the lower lip with the teeth. Sometimes they are accidental and other times they are caused by the patient's habit of biting his lower lip.

Racial pigmentation, a dark line that extends on the mucosa of the lower and upper lip in dark-skinned patients, is also a frequent reason for consultation and disappears or fades after a couple of sessions with Helios laser modality 1,064.

Other pigmented lesions of the lips

  • If the pigmentation occurs on both lips, is diffuse and the patient is young, racial pigmentation or Peutz Jegher syndrome should be considered.
  • If the pigmentation occurs on both lips, is diffuse and the patient is an adult, Adison's disease, heavy metals or Kaposi's disease should be considered. They can also be produced by a local inflammatory process, in smokers or by certain drugs.
  • If the lesion is local, red or blue, we must think of a hemangioma. solar lentigo or pigmented nevus.
  • If the lesion is locally blue or gray in color, a blue nevus should be considered.

These lesions should be evaluated by dermatologists.
Our team of dermatologists is trained to make an adequate diagnosis and treatment of each of these pathologies.
