Trouble afoot: A review of common skin conditions of the feet and nails.

Background: Common foot and toenail problems may cause diagnostic and management difficulties and are often complicated by comorbid factors.

Objective: The aim of this article is to discuss common disorders of the skin and nails of the feet, regional physiological factors to consider and appropriate investigations and management.

Discussion: Cutaneous disorders of the feet and nails present significant diagnostic and management challenges given the considerable overlap of common signs and symptoms and regionally difficult management.

A retrospective review of UVA1 treatment: An Australian experience from a single centre.

Background: The therapeutic value of ultraviolet A1 (UVA1) phototherapy has been acknowledged for many years. Initially developed predominately for experimental and diagnostic purposes, it was subsequently recognised as a beneficial therapeutic modality in atopic dermatitis and localised scleroderma, and more recently a variety of sclerosing and fibrosing dermatoses, T-lymphocyte mediated disorders, both inflammatory and infiltrative, and several predominately dermal processes previously unresponsive to current therapies.

Methods: We present a retrospective evaluation of outcomes and treatment tolerability in adult patients using a low dose (30 joules/cm ), regimen administered in our private dermatologic practice, between 2006 and December 2019.
