Several therapies for psoriasis have been described as triggers of biologic-induced bullous pemphigoid (BIBP). The real incidence of BIBP in psoriatic patients is still unknown. Hence, we compilated and analyzed current literature to identify the frequency and burden of this adverse event for psoriasis patients treated with biologics.

Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) are commonly used for cardiovascular diseases, especially for patients who can’t tolerate the side effects of cough and angioedema caused by angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs). However, the evidence of using ARBs in dermatology is mostly anecdotal and limited to case reports or small case series. Here we present a narrative review focusing on the therapeutic use of ARBs in dermatology and adverse cutaneous reactions due to the administration of ARBs.

Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease characterized by erythematous, scaly patches on the skin. It can be effectively managed with topical therapies since they deliver drugs to target sites of disease efficiently and can minimize systemic side-effects while ensuring high patient compliance.

Consistent perioperative management is important to the practice of dermatologic surgery. With the widespread use of anticoagulant medications, such as aspirin, warfarin, clopidogrel, factor Xa inhibitors, and thrombin inhibitors for a number of cardiovascular indications, it is important to standardize the use of these drugs in the setting of skin cancer surgery.

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most common cause of hair loss, often challenging to treat. While oral finasteride (1 mg/d) is an FDA-approved treatment for male AGA, oral minoxidil and oral dutasteride are not approved yet. However, clinicians have been increasingly using these two drugs off-label for hair loss. Recently, Japan and South Korea have approved oral dutasteride (0.5 mg/d) for male AGA.

Although the inclusion of patients’ preferences and needs is essential for therapy adherence, the assessment of patient-reported outcome measures in clinical trials is often neglected. Therefore, the aim of this study was to quantify several patient-reported outcome measures in psoriasis patients undergoing systemic therapy in a real-life clinical setting.

Once-daily, fixed-combination calcipotriol 50 μg/g (Cal) plus betamethasone dipropionate 0.5 mg/g (BD) is available in aerosol foam and cream formulations. As no head-to-head data are available, we use a matching-adjusted indirect comparison (MAIC) approach to compare Cal/BD foam and cream.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, recurrent, and inflammatory skin disease experienced mostly in childhood. Chronicity of the disease, relapses, constant need of regular skin care causes seeking for alternative treatments.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective treatment for actinic keratosis (AK). However, pain and hypertension are important side effects of conventional PDT (c-PDT). Several studies have demonstrated that daylight PDT (dl-PDT) is less painful while being as effective as c-PDT.

Vitiligo has a negative effect on children’s physical and psychological health. Few studies have examined long-term treatment efficacy for childhood vitiligo. Therefore, we evaluated the long-term effectiveness of non-surgical combination therapy in pediatric patients with vitiligo and analyzed factors that affect its efficacy.

Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic inflammatory mucocutaneous disease. Systemic corticosteroids are the treatment of choice for generalized LP but their use is limited due to side effects. Oral mini pulse (OMP) therapy represents a good alternative. Also, Methotrexate (MTX) can be used as an alternative and safe modality in LP.

The eutectic mixture of local anesthetics (EMLA) is an effective cutaneous anesthetic, although its application is time consuming and poses a risk of methemoglobinemia. Currently, the efficacy of topical 10% lidocaine cream is unclear.

Mucocutaneous mycotic infections are common complications in patients on IL-17 inhibitor therapy. We report a case of a 33-year-old male with severe psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis on secukinumab combined with methotrexate and prednisone with swelling, otorrhea, and pain of the right ear and external auditory canal. Due to progressive hypacusis, a surgical solution was chosen. Tissue samples taken during surgery revealed the presence of Aspergillus fumigatus. Aspergillosis should be suspected in prolonged otorrhea, especially in immunocompromised patients. Without intervention, the disease could be fatal.
