Nutrition and dietary supplements are commonly used in the management of psoriasis; however, evidence of their efficacy is inconsistent. Although some dietary interventions have been shown to improve psoriasis consistently, others have little evidence supporting their use. We review common dietary interventions for the management of psoriasis and the evidence behind them.

Dupilumab facial redness (DFR), or the development of an eczematous rash of the face and neck with dupilumab use, has been observed in recent case reports. It is estimated to impact between 4 and 43.8% of dupilumab users, including children and adults.

Despite high public demand for these products, evidence supporting their efficacy is limited and often inconsistent. We discuss the structural and functional changes that occur in the skin during the aging process.

Objective: Since the 1970s, the incidence of melanoma has risen appreciably while melanoma-specific mortality has remained stable. This has raised a debate about potential overdiagnosis of melanoma.
Article Synopsis
- - Statins have been linked to a higher risk of keratinocyte carcinoma (KC), specifically in the forms of invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and SCC in situ, but not basal cell carcinoma (BCC).
- - A comprehensive Icelandic study paired 4,700 BCC patients and 1,013 invasive SCC patients with controls, revealing that statin use increased the risk of SCC in individuals over 60, with atorvastatin and simvastatin showing different risk levels.
- - The study suggests that factors beyond the intensity of statin treatment may influence the association with SCC, though the exact reasons for these findings remain unclear.
Background: Metformin has anticarcinogenic properties and is also known to inhibit the sonic hedgehog pathway, but population-based studies analyzing the potential protective effect for basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are needed.
Objectives: To delineate the association between metformin use and invasive SCC, SCC in situ (SCCis), and BCC.
Methods: A population-based case-control study design was employed using all 6880 patients diagnosed in Iceland between 2003-2017 with first-time BCC, SCCis, or invasive SCC, and 69,620 population controls.

Background: Population-based studies analyzing hydrochlorothiazide's (HCTZ's) effect on keratinocyte carcinoma, and particularly invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), are lacking.
Objectives: To characterize the association between HCTZ use and invasive SCC, SCC in situ (SCCis), and basal cell carcinoma (BCC).
Methods: This population-based case-control study included all 6880 patients diagnosed with first-time BCC, SCCis, and invasive SCC between 2003 and 2017 in Iceland and 69,620 population controls.
