ABSTRACT
Dermabrasion may be complicated by excessive bleeding during the procedure. Adrenosem salicylate has been used to control capillary oozing in various other surgical procedures. In a double-blind stidy of ten patients undergoing dermabrasion, Adrenosem salicylate was found to reduce capillary oozing during the procedure to a worthwhile degree. No untowards effects were encountered.

Football acne is a peculiar form of localized acneiform eruption of the chin that occurs in acne-prone individuals, as a result of the use of a protective chin strap under conditions of physical and emotional stress. Perhaps it is a locus minoris resistentiae phenomenon. The condition responds favorably to the removal of the chin strap and to the usual topical and systemic acne therapies.
