As a Mohs and a cosmetic dermatologic surgeon, I appreciate the unquestionable protective effects of sunscreen products with regards to skin cancer, dyspigmentation, solar elastosis, and rhytids associated with photoaging.

The great sunscreen ingredient debate

Matrix metalloproteinases become activated through the release of neutrophil elastase, contributing to extracellular matrix damage seen in solar elastosis (4).

Erythrosis interfollicularis colli and cutis rhomboidalis nuchae: two sides of a coin

Answer A You can't reverse leathery changes to the skin, known as solar elastosis. That happens within the dermis from UV exposure.

How sun savvy are you?

Favre-Racouchot syndrome is an environmental exposure in which comedones are found in the lateral periorbital part of the face corresponding to areas of solar elastosis. Recently, there was a case of elastosis-related comedone formation associated with unilateral cigarette smoking [10].

Perianal Comedones: A Rare Incidental Finding

Biopsy from two other sites was taken from the lesions on the dorsum of right hand which revealed hyperkeratosis, parakeratosis along with basophilic degeneration of dermal collagen and mild dermal lymphohistiocytic infiltrate suggestive of degenerative changes associated with solar elastosis. A thorough clinical examination and loco-regional ultrasound study excluded nodal involvement.

Mild to severe solar elastosis is regularly encountered adjacent to the tumor.

Mindy Goldstein moderated the opening session on sun protection, in which Manasi Chavan of BASF described the need for a new active ingredient that reduces the impact of solar elastosis. The material, which will debut at In-Cosmetics Europe in April, induces LOX-L expression to boost functional elastin fibers, reduces UV-induced elafin synthesis and inhibits MMP formation, according to Chavan.
