Abstract

Objective: Describe the clinical features and evaluate the results of Helium-Neon laser in ulcer treatment. Subjects and methods: Descriptive studies with analysis 30 patients were treated by Helium-Neon laser at Can Tho Hospital of Dermato-Venereology in 2020. Results:  40-60 years old people have the highest rate (56,7%). 100% patients have experienced pain symptom; 46,7% fever. Before treatment, average VAS (Visual analog scales was 3,2; average size was 17,5mm; average depth was 1mm; ooze (93,3%); pus (10%), inflammation (80%). After 72 hours of treatment, average VAS is 1.4; average size is 12,5mm; average depth is 0mm; ooze (30%); pus (3,3%), inflammation (83,3%). After 72 hours of treatment,56,7% of the patients have reduced 25% the size of the ulcers. Conclusion: A decrease in the size and depth of the ulcer was observed 48 hours after treatment. Helium-Neon laser daily until the lession is completely healed or for at least 3 days is recommended for treatment.
