Purpose: Pediatric dermatological training lacks in skin of color education and exposure, contributing to health inequities.
Methods: We collected data from a survey assessing comfort of diagnosis on SOC before and after the intervention of a presentation.
Results: This study demonstrates an increase in comfort of diagnosis after lecture intervention.
Conclusion: This highlights the need for further education to allow for increased confidence and knowledge with diagnosis, as well as mastery. It also demonstrates the importance of exposure to SOC dermatology in medical and resident training to improve health equity.

Vitamin C mesotherapy with microneedling for gingival depigmentation: A case study.
Clin Adv Periodontics
January 2025
Department of Biostatistics, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India.
Background: Surgical methods of gingival depigmentation can be challenging, particularly if the gingival phenotype is thin due to the risk of gingival recession and bone exposure. Thus, exploring alternative, non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment modalities is warranted. In dermatology, vitamin C is extensively used for depigmentation and microneedling for collagen induction, with limited literature about its usage for improving gingival esthetics.

Pigmentation is orchestrated by hundreds of genes involved in cellular functions going from early developmental fate of pigment cells to melanin synthesis. The Two Pore Channel 2 (TPC2) a Ca2+ and Na+ channel acidifies melanosomal pH and thus inhibits pigmentation. A young patient was recently reported with generalized hypopigmentation but uneventful ocular examination, caused by the de novo heterozygous TPCN2 variant c.

Erythroderma is a severe and heterogeneous inflammatory skin condition with little guidance on the approach to management in cases of unknown etiology. To guide therapeutic selection, we sought to create an immunophenotyping platform able to identify aberrant cell populations and cytokines in subtypes of erythroderma. We performed high-parameter flow cytometry on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and whole blood of a patient with refractory idiopathic erythroderma, erythrodermic patients with Sézary syndrome and pityriasis rubra pilaris, and healthy controls.

Establishing an animal model for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation following fractional CO laser application.
Lasers Med Sci
January 2025
Hangzhou Third People's Hospital, Hangzhou, China.
Background: Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a common cosmetic concern, often leading to significant psychological distress for the patients. With the widespread application of lasers including ablative fractional resurfacing (AFR) with a 10,600 nm CO laser, PIH caused by lasers is becoming increasingly common. But due to the absence of an appropriate animal research model, our understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms and preventive strategies for PIH remains limited.
