Article Abstract
Introduction: Risankizumab is an interleukin 23p19 inhibitor, approved by the USA Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the management of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Apart from its utility in psoriasis, there are a number of other dermatologic conditions where risankizumab has demonstrated value. The aim of this narrative review is to describe the utility of risankizumab in psoriasis, as well as its implication in off-label dermatologic disorders.
Evidence Acquisition: PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus and ResearchGate were searched for scholarly articles related to risankizumab and its utility in dermatology using the search terms "Risankizumab" AND "Psoriasis" AND "other dermatological disorders."
Evidence Synthesis: Risankizumab is a valuable biologic agent for the management of psoriasis and psoriatic arthropathy. It has also been used successfully for other dermatologic disorders like hidradenitis suppurativa, pityriasis rubra pilaris and pyoderma gangrenosum.
Conclusions: Risankizumab's usage is not limited to psoriasis. Its benefit extends to many more dermatologic conditions. Besides, it has an acceptable safety profile.

Seborrheic keratosis (SK) is a prevalent hyperkeratotic dermatological condition characterized by benign proliferation of epidermal keratinocytes, typically occurring in the middle to advanced stages of life. While the trunk is the primary site for lesions, they can also manifest on the extremities, face, and scalp.

The interplay between nutrition and skin health provides a crucial lens for understanding, diagnosing, and managing eating disorders (EDs) such as anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), and binge-eating disorder (BED). This review explores the dermatological manifestations resulting from the nutritional deficiencies commonly associated with EDs, including conditions like hair loss, xerosis, and brittle nails. These changes in the skin and its appendages often reflect deeper systemic dysfunctions, such as deficiencies in essential micronutrients (zinc, iron, and vitamins A and C), hormonal imbalances, and electrolyte disturbances.
