An In Vivo Model for Postinflammatory Hyperpigmentation: Part II
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Tricholoacetic Acid (TCA) for Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is an acquired hypermelanosis that occurs after cutaneous inflammation or injury that frequently affects darker skinned populations. Previously, a model of 35% TCA-induced PIH was validated against acne induced PIH, which has value in product testing for the treatment of PIH. In this second phase of the study, the investigators would like to determine if a lower concentration of TCA-induced PIH is comparable to acne-induced PIH.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
We will be applying 4 concentrations of TCA (20%, 25%, 30%, 35%) to the buttocks to two spots each (total of 8 lesions) and following characteristics of these lesions and comparing them to acne induced PIH during the course of the study.
