Complications Associated with Mohs Micrographic Surgery: Data from the Nationwide Prospective Cohort REGESMOHS
Conclusions: MMS shows a low risk of complications. Most of the risk factors for complications were related to tumour size and depth, and the resulting need for complex surgery. Antiaggregant/anticoagulant intake was associated with a small increase in the risk of haemorrhage, that probably does not justify withdrawal. Age and outpatient setting were not linked to the risk of adverse events.Dermatology (Source: Dermatology)

Comparative Analyses of Clinical Features, Histopathology, and CD123 Immunohistochemistry of Oral Lupus Erythematosus, Lichen Planus, and Other Lichenoid Lesions
Conclusion: While there are some differences in the clinicopathological features between OLE, OLP, as well as other OLLs, a significant overlap remains. The quantity and distribution pattern of CD123 immunohistochemical staining has a diagnostic implication in differentiating OLE from OLP and other OLLs.Dermatology (Source: Dermatology)

The Additive Value of 3D Total Body Imaging for Sequential Monitoring of Skin Lesions: A Case Series
Conclusion: 3D total body photography is valuable alongside dermoscopy for monitoring cutaneous lesions. Furthermore, it is capable of surveilling almost the entire skin surface, including areas not traditionally monitored by sequential imaging.Dermatology (Source: Dermatology)

Association between Vitamin D Level and Acne, and Correlation with Disease Severity: A Meta-Analysis
Conclusion: This meta-analysis demonstrated the significantly low vitamin D levels in acne patients. Also, there was evidence of an inverse association between vitamin D levels and acne severity. Therefore, vitamin D might be involved in the pathogenesis of acne.Dermatology (Source: Dermatology)

Hypochondriasis and Personality Traits of Patients with Chronic Plaque Psoriasis
Conclusion: About one third of patients with psoriasis have high scores in the MMPI-2 hypochondriasis evaluation scale. Poor individual coping resources also appeared to be distinctive psychological features in a significant proportion of psoriatic patients.Dermatology (Source: Dermatology)

Advances in the Etiology, Detection, and Clinical Management of Seborrheic Keratoses
Seborrheic keratoses (SKs) are ubiquitous, generally benign skin tumors that exhibit high clinical variability. While age is a known risk factor, the precise roles of UV exposure and immune abnormalities are currently unclear. The underlying mechanisms of this benign disorder are paradoxically driven by oncogenic mutations and may have profound implications for our understanding of the malignant state. Advances in molecular pathogenesis suggest that inhibition of Akt and APP, as well as existing treatments for skin cancer, may have therapeutic potential in SK. Dermoscopic criteria have also become increasingly important to...

Anatomic Distribution of Cherry Angiomas in the General Population
Conclusion: Describing the distribution of cherry angiomas by body site is an important step towards further understanding of the aetiology of angiomas. While personal history of melanoma is associated with an increased number of cherry angiomas, whether this association is prognostic, co-occurs with development of melanoma, or is merely fortuitous requires further investigation.Dermatology (Source: Dermatology)

Metabolic Disorders/Obesity Is a Primary Risk Factor in Hidradenitis Suppurativa: An Immunohistochemical Real-World Approach
Conclusions: The notion that obesity plays a role in HS development appears to be supported by the prominent regulation of the associated lesional biomarkers. Tobacco smoking might contribute less to HS than previously suspected.Dermatology (Source: Dermatology)

Skin Barrier Damage due to Prolonged Mask Use among Healthcare Workers and the General Population during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Prospective Cross-Sectional Survey in China
Conclusion: There was a high incidence of skin barrier damage due to prolonged mask use among HCWs and the general population, and treatment and prevention were inadequate. Attention needs to be given to strengthening comprehensive health education and popularization of science.Dermatology (Source: Dermatology)

Reproducible Naevus Counts Using 3D Total Body Photography and Convolutional Neural Networks
Conclusion: Automated naevus counts with reasonable agreement to those of an expert clinician are possible through the combination of 3D total body photography and CNNs. Such an algorithm may provide a faster, reproducible method over the traditional in person total body naevus counts.Dermatology (Source: Dermatology)

Adherence to Guideline-Oriented Preventive Measures in Patients with Atopic Dermatitis in Germany
Conclusions: Although the self-reported use of evidence-based preventive measures in the 2017 –2019 study appears to be more frequent than in 2010, important measures are still insufficiently established. Hence, more implementation, including education, is needed to increase the use of guideline-oriented preventive measures.Dermatology (Source: Dermatology)
