| Abstract | ||||
| Background: Adolescence and adulthood are the most common seasons for breakouts of acne, which is a chronic inflammatory skin disease of the pilosebaceous glands. About 85% of teenagers and 40% of adults develop late-onset acne. It is one of the most prevalent dermatological diseases, influenced by genetics and environmental factors. It's still a widespread condition even though acne therapy has improved greatly. The prevention and management of scarring is a continuing concern. One of the most cost-effective and safe methods is intradermal saline injection for post-acne scars, as there are no adverse effects. Saline injections into the dermis and subdermal layers of scar tissue are thought to cause the destruction of collagen fibres and the decomposition of fibrotic bundles by needling. Objective: Evaluate effectiveness of saline injection for dermatologic diseases. Conclusion: For post-acne scars, saline injection therapy is a safe and effective treatment option. The involution of the granuloma annulare could be caused by intralesional injections of normal saline. | ||||
