Objectives: To evaluate the clinical effects of focal Glycolic acid 70% (GA) peel versus focal mix of Trichloroacetic acid 50% (TCA) and GA 70% peel in epidermal lesions including seborrheic keratosis, actinic keratosis and solar lentigines.
Methods: An analysis was done on 60 adult patients with the previous epidermal lesions. They were divided into two groups, group1 treated by focal GA 70% peel and group 2 treated by focal mix peeling. The peel was repeated every 2 weeks for 6 sessions.
Results: In group 1, 50% of seborrheic keratosis showed fair improvement (5/30) and 50% poor improvement (5/30). In actinic keratosis, there were 20% excellent (2/30), 50% good (5/30) an.. View More»
