dc.description.abstractHeat has been used as a medicinal and healing modality throughout human history. Today, thermotherapy is being studied in the treatment of many diseases. Although the exact anti-infective mechanism of thermotherapy is yet to be solved, this historically important healing method has shown significant results in the treatments of a variety of dermatological infectious diseases ranging from simple acne to bacterial, parasitic and viral infections, in modern medicine. Induction of cellular apoptosis in medium doses and necrosis in high doses has made thermotherapy an important modality in the treatment of malignant tumors. Especially in dermatology, significant results have been achieved in the treatment of Bowen's disease, melanoma and simple warts. Thermotherapy, which today has also shown advancements in cosmetology, can be delivered by liquid nitrogen in the form of hypothermia and a variety of ways ranging from hot water pads to ultrasound and even to lasers, in the form of hyperthermia. In this article, the place of this historically important treatment method in modern medicine, especially in dermatology, has been reviewed by an extensive search of the literature. © 2012 Informa Healthcare USA, Inc.
