Objective: To evaluate if pre-treatment skin cooling can reduce the pain during steroid injection. Materials and Methods: A randomized cross-over study was conducted between September 2015 and October 2016. This study received ethical approval ID035904 No. MURA2016/152. Forty-four subjects with keloid that needed intralesional steroid injection were divided into three pretreatment groups, no treatment, skin cooling with ice pack, and skin applying with a mixture of lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5% (EMLA®), in random order. Pain intensity was measured by using 100-mm visual analogue scale (VAS). The satisfaction levels were assessed with orderly interval rating scale from 1 to 5. Repeated-measure analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Bonferroni pairwise comparison were used for data analyses. Results: The mean VAS score at the time of needle puncturing into the skin and during steroid infiltration was statistically significant lower in skin cooling compared to no treatment group (p<0.001) and EMLA group (p<0.05). The satisfaction level was also statistically significant higher in skin cooling compared to no treatment group (p<0.001) and EMLA group (p<0.001). Thirty-seven patients (84%) selected skin cooling method as the most favorable pre-anesthetic method for intralesional steroid injection. Conclusion: Skin cooling with ice before intralesional steroid injection of keloid effectively reduces pain and patients are also satisfied.

Abstract Background There have been several reports that steroid administration are effective at preventing strictures after ESD. However, adverse events after steroid use are of great concern. We have reported that shielding with polyglycolic acid (PGA) sheets and fibrin glue can be useful for prevention of stricture after ESD. We conducted a retrospective analysis of efficiency of shielding with PGA sheets and fibrin glue for prevention of esophageal stricture compared with intralesional steroid injection. Methods ESD was performed on a total of 608 lesions in 553 patients for superficial esophageal cancer from January 2012 to March 2017. Of these, 45 lesions were enrolled in the study group (PGA sheets and fibrin glue) and 40 lesions were enrolled in the control group (intralesional steroid injection). The incidence of postoperative stricture at 6 weeks and the number of sessions of endoscopic balloon dilatation (EBD) required to resolve any strictures were evaluated. Among them, patients with additional surgery were excluded in both groups when investing the outcome. Results The post-ESD stricture rate was 10.5% in the study group (4/38 patients), which was not significantly lower than the stricture rate of 10.8% in the historical control group (4/37 patients; P = 0.63). The mean number of EBD was 1.2 ± 4.2 in the study group and 0.68 ± 2.2 in the control group, which was not significant (P = 0.47). Conclusion PGA sheets and fibrin glue appear to be a promising option for the prevention of esophageal stricture similar to the effect of intralesional steroid injection.

Cheilitis glandularis (CG) is an inflammatory condition of unknown cause that predominantly affects the minor salivary glands of the lips. Although a diagnosis of CG is not difficult, its treatment is a challenge. This article highlights the clinical presentation of the disease together with a case of successful management of this disease using a combination of a steroid injection followed by a topical immunosuppressor.
