- This study examines topical corticosteroid phobia (TCP) in women with vulvar lichen sclerosus (VLS) and how it affects their treatment adherence and outcomes.
- The research involved 50 adult patients, who completed a questionnaire to assess their concerns about corticosteroid usage while undergoing a 12-week treatment, and most adhered well to the regimen.
- Findings indicate that TCP levels were low among participants and did not negatively impact either their adherence to treatment or the effectiveness of the corticosteroid therapy.

Introduction: Chronic hand eczema (CHE) is an inflammatory skin condition characterized by different pathomechanisms, clinical presentations, and prognoses. Treatment is often challenging because of limited approved drugs, and severe CHE is associated with reduced quality of life (QoL) and poor overall health measures in terms of psychological, functional, and occupational challenges. This study aims to describe the real-life management practices of Italian dermatologists who frequently treat patients with CHE, compare these practices with existing guidelines, and propose practical clinical recommendations for the management of these patients.

- This study investigates whether the timing of dupilumab administration affects its effectiveness in treating patients with atopic dermatitis (AD), considering the body's natural biological rhythms.
- The retrospective analysis involved 53 adult AD patients, comparing results based on whether they received dupilumab between midnight and noon or between noon and midnight over a 16-week period.
- Findings indicate that while all patients showed clinical improvement, those who took dupilumab between midnight and noon experienced more significant enhancements, suggesting potential for optimizing treatment timing in future research.
