Abstract
Idiopathic (primary) hyperhidrosis is defined as an excessive
sweating with no clear cause and usually results in social, psychological, and
professional disturbances.
In this study, tap water and normal saline iontophoresis were
used in a 21-year-old female suffering from severe idiopathic palmoplantar
hyperhidrosis.The result of 8 sessions iontophoresis showed that tap water and
normal saline iontophoresis are effective in treatment of idiopathic
hyperhidrosis. However, in contrast with other studies, normal saline
iontophoresis was twice more effective than tap water iontophores. Quality of
life of the patient was improved.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Seborrhoic dermatitis is one of the most common diseases in dermatology with a prevalence of about 2%. Many treatments have been used for this disease. This Study aimed to investigate the efficacy of betamethasone lotion compared with clotrizone lotion in patients with seborrheic dermatitis of face and scalp.
Methods: This double blind study was performed on 60 patients with seborrheic dermatitis older than 18 years, who refered to Emam Reza hospital, Mashhad. Patients were divided into two groups: clotrizone (31) and betamethasone group (29 patients). Patients were treated for a month. We evaluated severity of pruritus, erythema and desquamation of the face and scalp.
Results: The average age of patients participating in the study was 33.1 years (18 to 56 years) and 56.7% of patients were male. No significant differences were found in age and gender between the two groups (P> 0.05). Both treatments reduced severity of erythema and desquamation of the face and scalp (P<0.001). Two weeks after treatment, clotrizone had better performance, but there after both lotions had similar effect. Betamethasone reduced pruritus more than clotrizone.
Conclusion: This study showed that both betamethasone and clotrizone were effective. Clotrizone has better impact on the severity of erythema and scaling and betamethasone has better effect on improving the severity of pruritus.
