Abstract

Objective: Skin aging can be categorized into extrinsic and intrinsic aging based on its causes. Extrinsic aging, caused by environmental factors. This leads to various skin changes, such as pigmented lesions like melasma and seborrheic keratosis, hypopigmentation such as vitiligo, and actinic keratosis. Seborrheic keratosis is a common benign epidermal tumor frequently observed in clinical settings. It typically appears as round or oval-pigmented lesions with irregular borders. The prevalence of seborrheic keratosis increases with age. Laser treatment is the most commonly used therapy in modern medicine due to its low recurrence rate and minimal scarring. Case Report: This case study presents the application of Ortho-Cellular Nutrition Therapy (OCNT) in a female patient in her 70s, diagnosed with seborrheic keratosis and melasma. The patient reported that her skin darkened due to reduced sleep caused by pre-existing panic disorder and insomnia. It was determined that her underlying skin condition had worsened. As a result, lanolin, cyanidin, catechins, and hyaluronic acid were prescribed to improve the skin condition caused by seborrheic keratosis and reduce skin damage from ultraviolet (UV) exposure. After five months of OCNT, the patient’s skin tone had shifted to a pinkish hue, and seborrheic keratosis noticeably diminished. Conclusion: The OCNT regimen addressed the reduction in skin elasticity and moisture levels associated with the patient's age. It aimed to replenish moisture and stimulate epidermal cell regeneration, leading to an overall improvement in skin condition. Since this case study involved a personalized treatment for a single patient, its applicability to all individuals with seborrheic keratosis and related skin conditions may be limited. However, after several months of treatment, the patient's skin condition significantly improved, suggesting potential implications for future skin disease management.
