Focal dermal hypoplasia is a rare disorder inherited in an X-linked dominant pattern and is usually antenatally lethal in males. We report a surviving male with postzygotic mutation p.E300* in exon 10 of gene with mosaicism, earlier reported in a female of Thai origin. This is the first report of this mutation from the Indian subcontinent.

Childhood scars can lead to hideous aesthetic and functional deformities in young adults, which can be particularly distressing when involving the face and the breast in a female. Aesthetic restoration requires replacement of the whole or a part of the scarred skin by soft, pliable, and texture-matching skin, which nearly always is in short supply. Dermal regeneration templates (DRTs) can help in skin regeneration that is almost always aesthetically superior to most flaps.

Vaccination with the tetravalent live attenuated dengue virus (DENV) vaccines TV003 and TV005 causes a mild, relatively localized erythematous maculopapular skin rash in most dengue-naïve vaccinees. Human challenge model DENV strains, DENV2Δ30 and DENV3Δ30, trigger a confluent skin rash over most of the body in most unvaccinated participants. To determine the etiology of these rashes we performed in situ hybridization for DENV genome and assessed cellular infiltration by hematoxylin/eosin staining in skin biopsies from humans infected with live attenuated dengue vaccine DENV2Δ30 or DENV3Δ30 challenge strains.

Chronic wounds represent a persistent clinical challenge due to prolonged inflammation and impaired tissue repair mechanisms. Cannabidiol (CBD), recognized for its anti-inflammatory and pro-healing properties, shows therapeutic promise in wound care. However, its delivery via lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) remains challenging due to CBD's inherent instability and low bioavailability.

2-Phenoxyethanol (PhE) is an amphiphilic organic compound frequently used as a broad-spectrum preservative in cosmetic products and other consumer goods. PhE is also used as a biocidal component in occupational settings. A previous volunteer study by our working group following oral exposure to PhE showed that PhE is almost completely taken up into the human body followed by an extensive metabolization and fast urinary elimination.

Objective: Severe radiodermatitis with erosion is a painful condition that affects quality of life; therefore, developing methods for its prevention is an urgent issue. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the morphological characteristics of the development and healing processes of severe radiodermatitis in patients with head and neck cancer and to explore the association between skin barrier function and development of severe radiodermatitis.
Methods: In this prospective observational study, the cervical regions of patients with head and neck cancer who underwent radiotherapy at a university hospital from October 2022 to March 2023 were photographed, and morphological characteristics of the development and healing process of severe radiodermatitis were extracted using the qualitative sketch method.
