Venous ulcers are common in drug addicts and, although the management of these wounds is the same as in other patients, there are differences in the approach and the outcome of treatment. Those injecting drugs are at risk of serious infections, such as necrotizing fasciitis, wound botulism, and cutaneous anthrax due to the nature of the substances being injected. Herein, we present two cases of venous ulcers in drug addicts in their thirties. Both patients had been suffering from a venous ulcer for several years and the final result differed in the two patients. We concluded that it is necessary to raise awareness of the importance of treatment and lifestyle changes. The multidisciplinary approach in these patients may contribute to the improvement of wound healing.

Abstract Objectives Introduction: Scar assessment scales are used for a number of scars related to surgical procedures, burns and trauma. These objective and subjective scales help to assess the physical characteristics, pathological wound healing and overall esthetics related to scarring. Select nutrients play a vital role in tissue repair and wound healing. Methods Case Description: A 28-year old female underwent a cesarean section delivery due to a frank breech positioning of the baby. The patient was considered to be within a healthy BMI range pre-pregnancy (BMI = 23.5) and consumed an overall healthy diet, as determined by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. After surgery, she consumed two packets of Juven© daily mixed with 500–1000 mL water, for two weeks, to aid in wound healing. This oral nutrition supplement is composed of L-arginine, L-glutamine, collagen protein, β-hydroxy-β -methylbutyrate and vitamins and minerals; each nutrient with evidence-based support to boost wound healing. An obstetrician performed scar evaluations at two-weeks postpartum to identify short-term wound outcomes. The Stony Brook Scar Evaluation Scale (score 5 of 5) and the Manchester Scar Scale (score 8 of 18) revealed positive measures. Results Discussion: Pathological scarring can be associated with substantial physical and psychological complications. Women who undergo cesarean sections are seeking ways to minimize the physical scar appearance and pathological wound healing. A twice daily supplementation of Juven© can assist in improvement in the visual cosmetic appearance and overall physical characteristics of scarring due to cesarean section. According to the results from scar scales utilized in this case, this surgical incision indicates “best possible scar”. Conclusions An oral nutrition supplement, used as an intervention post-cesarean section, can optimize scar appearance and overall wound healing. This case report gives insight as to how nutrition can play a role in revitalizing standard treatment after surgery. While this is just one case, there is an opportunity to enhance the physiological and psychological recovery from surgical scars, such as from a cesarean section.

Premalignant Progression

Actinic keratoses form as rough, scaly plaques on sun-exposed areas; they can be an important step in premalignant progression to squamous cell cancer of the skin. Currently, pharmacological treatments consist of topical immunomodulatory agents with poor side effect profiles. Use of honey has been common in both ancient and modern medicine, where it is now a key therapy in the management of wound healing. In vitro studies show the New Zealand native Kanuka honey to have immunomodulatory and antimitotic effects, with recent evidence suggesting efficacy of topical application in a variety of dermatological contexts, including rosacea and psoriasis. Here, we present a case report of a 66-year-old gentleman with an actinic keratosis on his hand, which had been present for years. Regular application of Kanuka honey over three months resulted in remission immediately following the treatment period with no signs of recurrence at nine months.
