| Popis: | This study aimed to assess the cosmetic outcomes of shave excision for the treatment of acquired melanocytic nevi in a Pakistani tertiary care setting. In total, 120 patients were enrolled in this study. All patients underwent shave excision upon being administered with intra-lesional local anesthesia (2% lignocaine with adrenaline). The lesion was shaved with a 15 number Bald Parker blade. Hemostasis was secured by pressure and 20% aluminum chloride solution. The final cosmetic outcomes (excellent, acceptable, or poor) were assessed three months post-shave excision. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS, v22. Data were evaluated using chi-square tests, and the phi coefficient. A P value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant to determine associations of age and gender to cosmetic outcomes. The mean age of included patients was 29.7±7.4 years. There were 30 (25%) male and 90 (75%) female patients. Out of these, 35 (29.2%) patients had excellent outcomes, 75 (62.5%) patients had acceptable and 10 (8.3%) patients had a poor outcome. The associations of gender and age to dermatological outcomes post-excision were significant (P |
