Background: Severe post-acne scarring has been implicated as a cause of considerable psychological distress, mainly among adolescents. Subcision and microneedling are cutting-edge treatment options available nowadays.
Aim: In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy of microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) against subcision with PRP in treating atrophic post-acne scars in a split-face study design.

Aim: In this study, fractional erbium-doped yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Er:YAG) laser resurfacing was compared with 20% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peeling in terms of efficacy and safety.
Article Synopsis
- The erbium-YAG laser is a well-established treatment in dermatology, but there's a lack of research on its effectiveness and side effects specifically for Indian skin concerning superficial skin conditions.
- A study with 250 patients evaluated the efficacy and safety of the erbium-YAG laser for various superficial dermatoses, assessing outcomes based on lesion clearance percentages.
- Results showed significant improvement in conditions like verruca plana and seborrheic keratosis, with some adverse effects being common, such as post-laser erythema and pain; however, the laser provided good cosmetic results and a low recurrence rate.
Introduction: Ever since the outbreak of COVID-19, the respiratory system has been the chief focus of researches, however, understanding the impact of this disease on the integumentary system is just as essential.
Objectives: We aimed at collecting data on any cutaneous manifestation arising in patients with active and recovering COVID-19 infection, or a direct consequence of the infection's treatment, and correlating these findings with systemic disease severity and duration.
Materials And Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted in three tertiary care centers from Rajasthan, India, to acquire data of laboratory-confirmed cases of COVID-19 presenting with any mucocutaneous manifestation.
