- Therapeutic burden (TB) in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a key factor that may predict responses to biologic treatments, highlighting its importance in clinical decision-making.
- A study of 557 HS patients provided insights into the average TB, which was linked to factors such as older age, longer disease duration, and greater disease severity.
- Results indicate that understanding TB can help clinicians better assess when to adjust treatment strategies for HS patients based on their individual severity and treatment history.
: Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the appearance of very pruritic subepidermal blisters. It appears mostly in the elderly and is associated with multiple comorbidities, which makes its management and treatment difficult. The purpose of this systematic review is to compile current information on published cases of BP treated with omalizumab (omalizumab) and dupilumab (dupilumab) in order to obtain information on clinical efficacy and safety data available.

- Cutaneous larva migrans (CLM) is an ectoparasitic infection mainly caused by nematodes like Ancylostoma braziliense and Ancylostoma caninum, typically found in tropical and subtropical regions.
- This study presents two cases of CLM that showcased rare follicular involvement in patients who developed skin lesions after traveling to subtropical areas, with one patient returning from Thailand and the other from Senegal.
- Histological analysis revealed nematode larvae moving through hair follicles, and skin ultrasound was used to help visualize the parasites, highlighting the importance of recognizing follicular involvement in diagnosing and understanding CLM.
Since December 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly affected healthcare. The real effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on skin cancer are still unclear, more than 3 years later. This study aims to summarise the pandemic's impact on skin cancer diagnosis and outcome.
