Dermatologists focus on
pigmentary disorders
Chandigarh, November 26 A skeleton strength of dermatologists from the city at the CME gave an impression that they were least bothered about the topics. The topics of discussion include vitiligo (leucoderma), melasma and basic research related to pigmentary disorders. Experts including Dr J.P. Ortonne from France, Dr Krassimira Ivanova from Germany and Dr B.K. Goh from Singapore spoke on the topic. Dr J.P. Ortonne spoke on recent updates on pathogenesis and management of pigmentary disorders. He spoke about new treatment modalities of leucoderma. Dr Krassimira Ivanova presented a lecture on biology of melaocytes while Dr B.K. Goh shared his experiences on vitiligo disorders. He also presented new techniques of cellular grafting for re-pigmenting vitiligo. Dr Devinder Prasad from the PGIMER presented a new classification of vitilago. He said a new direction has been given to research related pigmentary disorders in India. “Asia is home to billion of people with pigmented skin, it is only natural that there are huge number of people affected by various disorders of pigmentation,” he added. Earlier Prof A.J. Kanwar, chairman of the organising committee, highlighted the importance of pigmantary disorders in Indian skin and stressed about need for research into these disorders. The pigmentary disorders in Asian skin should not be considered as trivial cosmetic changes, they could have significant psychological impact in subjects who experience them, he added. |
