If the cause of active skin cell division is genetic and occurs anywhere in the body, including the skin, surgically removing the actively dividing cells can be challenging. In such cases, a more comprehensive and integrated approach to treatment is usually required. Here are some possible strategies:
- Genetic therapy:
Instead of surgically removing cells, we can look for ways to modify the genetic material that promotes active cell division. Gene therapy may involve the use of special techniques, such as CRISPR/Cas9, to change genes associated with cell division.
- Targeted therapy:
Developing drugs that can specifically block active cells or genes responsible for active cell division may be an effective strategy. These drugs can be directed directly to molecular targets inside cells to prevent them from dividing.
- Immunotherapy:
Immunotherapy may be useful in cases where active cell division is caused by an autoimmune process or genetic abnormalities. This involves stimulating the immune system to fight the altered cells.
- Preventive measures and monitoring:
It is important to regularly monitor the skin condition and general health of a patient with a genetic predisposition to active cell division. This allows changes to be detected at early stages and preventive measures to be taken.
- Treatment of the underlying genetic disorder:
In some cases, it may be necessary to treat an underlying genetic disorder that causes cells to actively divide. This may involve replacing or correcting faulty genes.
To effectively treat such genetically determined conditions, it is necessary to contact specialized geneticists and dermatologists to develop an individual treatment plan that takes into account specific genetic characteristics and skin manifestations.
