Background: Plastic surgery is a constantly evolving field that is poorly understood by a major section of the populace. Despite a growth in cosmetic operations in Saudi Arabia, expertise is lacking. The study examines college students' perceptions of cosmetic surgery and the factors that influence their interest in it.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was done in Riyadh in January and March 2023, using an online self-administered questionnaire for college students. Students' views and motivations for considering or avoiding cosmetic surgery were assessed in the poll.
Results: Of 1028 students questioned, 52.3% were female. Forty-eight percent of participants were 21-23 years old, and 97.4% knew about cosmetic surgery. Estimates suggest that 30% of people want cosmetic surgery. Due to religious doubts, 48.2% of individuals avoided cosmetic surgery. Apprehension regarding consequences (40.9%), lack of resource knowledge (19.9%), and inability to persuade family (17.1%) were further worries.
Conclusions: This study indicates that 33% of students are considering cosmetic surgery in the future. Scars and deformity seem to prevent cosmetic surgery. To better understand cosmetic surgery, students should learn about its pros and cons.

We report a young female patient diagnosed with an invasive ductal carcinoma at the site of a prior cosmetic nipple piercing. She had no significant familial, genetic, or other carcinogenic risk factors to account for her presentation. A review of the literature confirms that trauma can occasionally be associated with invasive breast cancer, but such a connection has not previously been related to nipple piercing procedures.

Objective: The environmental impact of the practice of medicine, including dermatology, can be significant, driven by a growing and aging population that increasingly demands medical resources. This review explores the environmental effects of the practice of dermatology and identifies actionable solutions to reduce negative environmental impacts.
Methods: A PubMed search was conducted using the terms ("environmental impact" OR "sustainability") AND "dermatology.
Objective: The authors sought to review published literature on the efficacy of biologics as monotherapy for atopic dermatitis (AD) following discontinuation.
Methods: A comprehensive search of PubMed/MEDLINE was conducted examining drug withdrawal in AD clinical trials where participants were treated with biologics. Trials were included if they exclusively involved participants with AD that reported the maintenance or achievement of Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI)-75 and Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) scores of 0 or 1 after withdrawal of biologic therapy.

This article reviews epidermal barrier dysfunctions and more thoroughly discusses the stratum corneum (SC) permeability barrier, physiologic self-repair mechanisms in healthy skin, and the clinical and structural effects of an overstressed SC permeability barrier. Discussion includes epidermal barrier impairments induced by both exogenous exposures and endogenous factors such as specific dermatologic disorders. Due the plethora of skin care products on the market and the variability of their contents and vehicle formulations, this article addresses core concepts required to optimize skin care product selection, including for specific disease states such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, acne vulgaris, and rosacea.
