Introduction: Dermocosmetics are increasingly being recognized as an integral part of acne management. Dermocosmetics may minimize the side effects of acne medications, provide synergistic effects by improving the efficacy of other treatments, and limit exposure to environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation. We aimed to provide an overview of the active ingredients and different types of preparations used in dermocosmetics for acne, and highlight supporting evidence for their use in clinical practice.

Importance: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition presenting with painful nodules and sinus tracts primarily in intertriginous regions. The persistent nature of HS and challenges in symptom management lead many patients to seek non-pharmacologic approaches due to the paucity and limited efficacy of conventional HS therapeutic options.

Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a heterogeneous group of congenital blistering diseases that usually presents in the neonatal period. EB is classified into three major categories, each with many subtypes based on the precise location at which separation or blistering occurs, namely epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS), junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB) and dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB).

Background: Erythrodermic psoriasis (EP) is a severe, rare form of psoriasis that can be life threatening. Treatment of EP is usually based on anecdotal evidence or past clinical experience, which is in part due to the rarity and often emergent nature of this psoriasis subtype.

Objectives: Antibiotics are commonly used in dermatology for infectious and inflammatory diseases, and dermatologists prescribe the most antibiotics per physician of any specialist in the United States (US). While oral antibiotics are effective for many conditions, adverse effects and increase in resistance are important public health issues. The purpose of this study is to examine trends in oral antibiotic prescription by US dermatologists using Medicare claims.

Rosacea fulminans is a rare and severe inflammatory dermatosis which affects predominantly childbearing women. It is characterized by sudden onset and it usually localizes exclusively on the centrofacial areas, presenting with numerous fluctuant inflammatory nodules and papules which may coalesce.

Background: Dupilumab is used for treatment of atopic dermatitis through blockade of IL-4 and IL-13 signaling of the Th2 pathway. Recent case reports have described alopecia, psoriasis, persistent facial dermatitis, and recall dermatitis at patch test sites after the initiation of dupilumab therapy.

Acrodermatitis continua of hallopeau (ACH) is a rare chronic inflammatory variant of pustular psoriasis often restricted to the distal portions the digits in the hands and feet. ACH is of a chronic relapsing nature and is invariably recalcitrant to many available topical and systemic anti-psoriatic therapies. On account of its low prevalence and high resistance to treatments, no clinical guideline of ACH exists. We present a patient with ACH resistant to multiple therapies, including the biologic adalimumab, who was successfully treated with an IL-17 inhibitor (ixekizumab). We believe our unique treatment with an excellent outcome may assist other dermatologists if faced with this condition.

Divided or kissing nevi are a rare clinical variant of congenital melanocytic nevi developing in adjacent areas of the skin that undergo cleavage during embryogenesis. Penile lesions are even rarer, with only few cases described in the literature. Typically, they present as two opposing dark colored macular or papular lesions on the glans and prepuce, exhibiting a mirror-image symmetry relative to the coronal sulcus. The proposed management ranges from clinical follow-up to surgical excision. However, in this particularly sensitive location the risk of functional and esthetical complications is high, so an alternative treatment option was proposed. We report a case of a penile kissing nevus with its dermoscopic and histopathological characteristics as well as its successful treatment with the carbon dioxide (CO2) laser.
