New clinical approach in facial mild-moderate acne: Re-stabilization of skin microbiota balance with a topical biotechnological phytocomplex.

Objectives: Dysbiosis of the skin microbiota has been identified as a key factor in the development of acne. This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of a facial cream gel containing a biotechnological phytocomplex, niacinamide and succinic acid on the bacterial diversity of subjects with mild-moderate acne and its clinical benefits due to microbiota changes.

Methods: Open-label, clinical study in 44 subjects with mild-moderate acne treated with a facial cream gel for 8 weeks.

A new topical biotechnological phytocomplex for truncal mild-moderate acne restores skin microbiota balance.

Background: The disruption of the microbial community or dysbiosis alters the functional composition, metabolic activity, and local distribution of the microbiota leading the development of acne. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of a lotion containing a biotechnological phytocomplex, niacinamide, and succinic acid in the bacterial diversity of subjects with truncal mild-moderate acne and its clinical benefits due to microbiota changes.

Materials And Methods: Open, clinical study in 43 subjects with truncal mild-moderate acne treated with a lotion for 8 weeks.

A New Paradigm in the Management of Scalp Pruritus: Findings From the SCALP-PR Trial.

Purpose: The "Impact of scalp pruritus in dermatological consultations in Spain: The SCALP-PR trial" was initiated to address the common yet often insufficiently examined issue of scalp pruritus in dermatology. This condition leads to an uncontrollable urge to scratch, affecting the patients' quality of life and potentially causing scalp damage. This study aimed to explore the prevalence, patient profile, underlying conditions, and therapeutic approaches for scalp pruritus in Spain, and to assess the safety and efficacy profile, as well as the tolerability of a non-pharmacologic treatment.

Sensitive Scalp: Diagnosis and Practical Management.

Sensitive scalp is sensitive skin located on the scalp. Sensitivity is considered primary in the absence of an associated scalp disorder and secondary when caused by conditions such as psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and atopic dermatitis. The clinical manifestations of primary sensitive scalp are subjective.
