Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated a new prescription emollient device (PED) cream for treating mild-to-moderate psoriasis in sensitive areas, focusing on its effectiveness and tolerability.
- Thirty patients applied the cream twice daily for 8 weeks, with assessments measuring symptoms like erythema and itching at baseline, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks.
- Results showed significant improvements in skin symptoms by 8 weeks, with no serious side effects, indicating that the PED could be a beneficial option for treating psoriasis in challenging areas.
Line-field confocal optical coherence tomography (LC-OCT) is a novel imaging technique for in vivo examination of the skin that has recently been introduced in the dermatologic armamentarium of non-invasive diagnostic tools. Its usefulness in the diagnosis and treatment monitoring of some neoplastic, inflammatory, and infectious skin conditions has been demonstrated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the LC-OCT features of psoriasis in a large number of psoriatic plaques along with their histopathologic correlation.

Patient was treated with Tirbanibulin 1% ointment once a day for 5 consecutive days and, after 8 days from baseline, mild erythema and desquamation was observed on the treated area, associated with mild pruritus. At the same time-point, L'LC-OCT revealed the presence of intraepidermal "targeted-like" cells, corresponding to apoptotic keratinocytes.

Methods: Through an RCT design, 47 patients with OLP were randomly allocated for topical OLP treatment with fluocinonide 0.
Background: Line-field confocal optical coherence tomography is a novel technology able to reproduce a "virtual biopsy" of the skin. The aim of this review is to explore the application of line-field confocal optical coherence tomography (LC-OCT) in various skin diseases, covering skin cancers, inflammatory and infectious skin diseases, genetic diseases, cosmetic procedures, and less common disorders.
Methods: Study selection was conducted based on LC-OCT and using pertinent MeSh terms, following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines from inception to March 2024; to evaluate the quality and risk of bias of studies, Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 (QUADAS-2) was used.
