Rationale: Intravenous iron is commonly use in anemia related to chronic kidney disease. Skin staining due to iron extravasation is a rare adverse reaction that can leave a long-term staining of the skin.
Presenting Concerns Of The Patients: During iron derisomaltose infusion, patient reported iron extravasation. Five months after the incident, the skin stain related to the extravasation was still present.
Diagnosis: A case of skin staining due to iron derisomaltose extravasation was diagnosed.
Interventions/outcomes: She was reviewed by dermatology and laser therapy was offered.
Teaching Points: Patients and clinicians need to be aware of this complication, and protocol needs to be put in place to minimize extravasation and its complication.

Background: Psoriasis is an immune-related inflammatory systemic condition characterized by dysregulated keratinocyte proliferation and chronic inflammation. Tanshinone I (Tan-I) has recently been discovered to have immunomodulatory properties, but its role and mechanisms in treating psoriasis remain unclear.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of Tan-I in the treatment of psoriasis and to determine the mechanisms involved.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the collagen fiber structure of the subcutaneous fascia, a connective tissue layer between the skin and epimysium.
Methods: Fascia samples with varying extensibility were examined using biochemical and microscopic methods.
Results: Loose fascia, the more extensible type, displayed sparsely distributed collagen fibers, while dense fascia showed tightly packed collagen fiber bundles.

Recently, photodynamic therapy (PDT) which involves a photosensitizer (PS), a special drug activated by light, and light irradiation has been widely used in treating various skin diseases such as port-wine stain as well as cancers such as melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers. PDT comprises two general steps: the introduction of PS into the body or a specific spot to be treated, and the irradiation process using a light source with a specific wavelength to excite the PS. Although PDT is gaining great attention owing to its potential as a targeted approach in the treatment of skin cancers, several limitations still exist for practical use.

Vitiligo is a pigmentary disorder acquired and caused by the loss or destruction of melanocytes from the epidermis. There is strong proof that vitiligo is mainly an autoimmune disease. Cathelicidin (LL37), an antimicrobial polypeptide, is an important part of the innate immune system and has a role in different skin autoimmune diseases.

Background: Fibrotic skin disease represents a major global healthcare burden, characterized by fibroblast hyperproliferation and excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix components. The immune cells are postulated to exert a pivotal role in the development of fibrotic skin disease. Single-cell RNA sequencing has been used to explore the composition and functionality of immune cells present in fibrotic skin diseases.
