Dr. Bipin Deshpande
Consulting Dermatologist, Pune
A pilot study to evaluate effectiveness of Narrow Band Low Level Red Light of 660 nm of 'Biobeam 660' on the course of Oral & Genital Herpes Simplex was carried out for the first time in Indian Patients. 86 patients were selected for study (59 Oral, 27 Genital), age group: 8 to 55 years.
Selection criteria were -
I. All recurrent infection cases
II. Patients reporting from prodromal stage from 2nd day of eruption. Duration of recurrence - 6 moths to 8 years.
Frequency of recurrence - once a month to 3-4 times a year. Immunosuppressed patients excluded.
Prodromal stage includes prelesional complaints of itching, burning, tingling.
No medicines were given during the treatment. Phototherapy given for 10 minutes once daily for 3 days.
Average duration for using Phototherapy was compared with patient's previous treatment using Acyclovir (Oral & Local).
Start to loss of crust was considered as duration of single attack. Average duration of single attack treated by Phototherapy was 4.5 days ( +/- 1.3) compared to 8 days when treated with Acyclovir. Pain, itching, burning stopped within one day after first treatment. Treatment started in Prodromal stage caused healing in 3 days.
Biobeam 660 therapy proves effective as drugless therapy for Herpes Simplex infection assuring faster healing compared to conventional treatments.

Introduction :
Radiosurgery is a new office procedure. It uses high frequency radiowaves of 3.8 to 4 MHz for cutting.
Object of Study:
To evaluate the efficacy & advantages of Radiosurgery in treating common dermatological problems of Verrucae of all types affecting skin only.
Materials & Methods:
15 patients were selected. They had multiple warts on various parts of body. They included 5 patients of Verrucae plana, 8 patients of warts on palms, hands, forearms, legs, scalp ( Verruca Vulgaris, Filiform ), 2 patients of plantar warts. Average of 17 warts per patient on all parts except soles. On sole each patient had 2 warts. 2 patients who had more than 20 warts were treated in two sessions.
All warts except those on the face were treated by "Electosection" under local anaesthetic Inj-Xylocaine with adrenaline. " Electrocoagulation" was used whenever required. For all patients of plane warts " Electrodessication" was used without local anaesthesia. The procedure was rapid, almost bloodless except for plantar warts. Post operative pain was minimal. Antibiotic ointment was used till healing.
Results:
Compared to Electrocautery, Cryotherepay, routine surgery this procedure was found to be more efficacious & advantageous due to -
Rapid office procedure, can tackle more than 10 warts at a time in small period; immediate result; minimal trauma, bleeding, post operative pain, scarring, no recurrence (except in 2 periungual warts) & no complications.
