Background: This study aims to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of cinnamaldehyde in atopic dermatitis (AD) in the mouse model.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-four mice were divided into four groups: Group A (control), group B [AD with no treatment (AD + NoTre)], group C [AD with corticosteroids (AD + Cort)] and group D [AD with cinnamaldehyde (AD + Cin)]. 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene was used to form the AD model.
Background: A broad spectrum of skin diseases, including hair and nails, can be directly or indirectly triggered by COVID-19. It is aimed to examine the type and frequency of hair and nail disorders after COVID-19 infection.
Methods: This is a multicenter study conducted on consecutive 2171 post-COVID-19 patients.
Background: The etiopathogenesis and cold stimulation mechanism are not fully understood in cold urticaria (CU). Substance (SP) is released from skin neurons as a result of cold stimulation. It causes mast cell degranulation and therefore causes mast cell chymase (MCC) release.

Introduction: Epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors (EGFRs) are chemotherapeutic agents used in multiple solid organ malignity. These medications have common dermatological side effects, particularly papulopustular (PPL) lesions. The management of the diagnosis and treatment processes for such side effects may facilitate the continuation of chemotherapy and enhance the patient's quality of life.
