Balancing Ertapenem Therapy in Recalcitrant Hidradenitis Suppurativa With Antibiotic Stewardship
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is an often-overlooked, painful inflammatory condition associated with substantial physical, psychological, and social impairments, profoundly affecting the quality of life for individuals with the condition. The progress of drug development for HS has been impeded, partly due to a limited understanding of the condition. Despite 2 HS treatments approved by the US Food and Drug Administration and various off-label options, a uniformly effective therapeutic solution for HS remains elusive. (Source: JAMA Dermatology)

The Promise and Drawbacks of Federated Learning for Dermatology AI
Artificial intelligence (AI) classification of images has achieved considerable promise for dermatology applications for photography, dermoscopy, and pathology for a number of years. However, a major challenge in these arenas is the curation of well-labeled data sets that can be shared publicly due to regulatory concerns as well as the common practice of using retrospective data sets that have not been prospectively consented for research use. AI algorithm performance is directly related to the size and breadth of the data used for training, so methodology that expands the potential size and diversity of inputs and evaluat...

Potential Role of Tranexamic Acid and Nonablative Fractional Resurfacing in Managing Facial Hyperpigmentation —Reply
In Reply We thank Hashemi et al for their engagement and thoughtful reply to our article that highlighted their experience with tranexamic acid (TA) and procedural therapies. We agree that treatment approaches in hyperpigmentation have had great advancements. We also recognize that tranexamic acid offers an additional option for treating melasma, as we discussed in our article. However, more guidance is needed on optimal therapeutic ranges, dosing regimens, length of treatment, and effects on certain patient populations, such as those receiving hormonal treatments and/or with hypercoagulable disorders. While TA has a promi...

Potential Role of Tranexamic Acid and Nonablative Fractional Resurfacing in Managing Facial Hyperpigmentation
To the Editor In reading the recent article by Kundu et al regarding the management of facial hyperpigmentation due to melasma and postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), we have additional perspectives regarding medical and procedural management given recent advancements described in the literature and our own clinical experience. Regarding medical management, several recent studies have supported the effectiveness and safety of oral tranexamic acid (TA) in treating various pigmentary disorders, such as melasma and PIH. Despite its historical hemostatic indications at higher doses, multiple studies have demonstrated low...
