Itch is a prominent symptom in many cutaneous disorders, including atopic dermatitis (AD), prurigo nodularis, and psoriasis. Itch is also a common but overlooked concern in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). Currently, the mechanisms underlying itch in HS remain unclear.

- The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study focuses on understanding the worldwide prevalence and impact of significant diseases.
- PatientsLikeMe (PLM) is an online platform where patients share their experiences, offering valuable insights into health conditions.
- A comparison of data from GBD and PLM for dermatologic conditions showed both expected demographic differences and surprising correlations, suggesting that these data sources can work together to highlight unmet patient needs and priorities.
Background: Limited information exists regarding the epidemiology, metastasis, and survival of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP).
Objective: To measure DFSP incidence and assess metastasis and survival outcomes.
Methods: Incidence rate, overall and DFSP-specific survival outcomes for primary DFSP tumors contained in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry were analyzed via quasi-Poisson regression, Cox, and competing risk analyses.
Photobiomodulation (PBM), previously known as low-level laser light therapy, represents a noninvasive form of phototherapy that utilizes wavelengths in the red light (RL, 620-700 nm) portion of the visible light (VL, 400-700 nm) spectrum and the near-infrared (NIR, 700-1440 nm) spectrum. PBM is a promising and increasingly used therapy for the treatment of various dermatologic and nondermatologic conditions. Photons from RL and NIR are absorbed by endogenous photoreceptors including mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase (COX).
