"Postoperative wound care in dermatologic surgery: update and narrative review".

Dermatologic surgery is associated with a very low risk of complications. There is no widely accepted, evidence-based protocol with recommendations for postoperative wound care after dermatologic surgery. In this narrative review, we will be discussing the evidence on surgical wound care products and procedures. Overall, we found relatively few studies and, in many cases, a lack of statistically significant differences, possibly because of the low rate of complications. We'll be discussing the evidence on when we should initiate wound care procedures and their frequency, the type of ointment and antiseptics that should be applied, and the type of dressings that should be used. Despite the very few studies available on postoperative wound care following dermatologic surgery, there is sufficient evidence as to not recommend the use of prophylactic topical antibiotics. We also analyze the currently available evidence on surgical wound care in special situations, such as management of skin grafts, partial skin graft donor sites, xenografts/biomembranes, and surgical wounds to the legs.

Wood's light in inflammatory and autoimmune dermatoses, infections and skin cancer. / Luz de Wood en dermatosis inflamatorias, autoinmunes, infecciones y cáncer cutáneo.

Wood's lamp (WL) is a useful, cost-effective, and easy-to-learn diagnostic tool. Despite its advantages, the use of WL among dermatologists is limited. In porokeratosis, the "diamond necklace" sign often reported is consistent with the white fluorescence of the hyperkeratotic scale. Subclinical morphea lesions are seen as well-defined dark macules. Among pigmentary disorders, the bluish fluorescence of vitiligo, increased contrast of epidermal melasma, and follicular-centered red fluorescence of progressive macular hypomelanosis stand out. Regarding skin infections, erythrasma is associated with a coral red fluorescence; tinea versicolor, with a yellow-green fluorescence; Pseudomonas aeuriginosa, with a green fluorescence; and scabies with a blue-white fluorescence in the acarine grooves. In skin cancer, WL has been used to outline the surgical margins of lentigo maligna and non-melanoma skin cancer, with variable results.

[Translated article] Risk of Skin Cancer Associated with Disease-Modifying Therapies in Multiple Sclerosis: A Comprehensive Evidence Review.

The use of disease-modifying therapies (DMT) has led to a paradigm shift in the management of multiple sclerosis. A comprehensive narrative review was conducted through an extensive literature search including Medline and Google Scholar to elucidate the link between DMT and the propensity of cutaneous malignancies. Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulators, such as fingolimod and siponimod are associated with a higher risk of basal cell carcinoma (BCC), but not squamous cell carcinoma, or melanoma. The associated physiopathological mechanisms are not fully understood. Alemtuzumab and cladribine show isolated associations with skin cancer. Regarding other DMT, no increased risk has ever been found. Given the evidence currently available, it is of paramount importance to advocate for necessary dermatological assessments that should be individualized to the risk profile of each patient. Nonetheless, additional prospective studies are still needed to establish efficient dermatological follow-up protocols.

Use of Anifrolumab in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus, and Other Autoimmune Dermatoses. / Uso del anifrolumab en el lupus eritematoso sistémico, lupus eritematoso cutáneo y otras dermatosis autoinmunes.

Anifrolumab is an inhibitor of the type I interferon receptor subunit 1 (IFNAR1) recently approved for the management of moderate-to-severe systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In 2 clinical trials, it has proven effective to treat cutaneous signs. Although anifrolumab has not been indicated for cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE), multiple cases and case series (20 publications with a total of 78 patients) have shown good and rapid responses with this drug, both in subacute CLE and discoid lupus erythematosus, as well as in lupus panniculitis and perniosis. Two case reports of dermatomyositis have also experienced clinical improvement with anifrolumab. Clinical trials of this drug are ongoing for subacute CLE and discoid lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, and progressive vitiligo. Its most common adverse effects are respiratory infections and herpes zoster. Anifrolumab may be a well-tolerated alternative in the management of CLE.

Anticolinérgicos tópicos en el manejo de la hiperhidrosis focal en adultos y niños. Una revisión narrativa / Topical Anticholinergics in the Management of Focal Hyperhidrosis in Adults and Children. A Narrative Review

La hiperhidrosis se caracteriza por excesiva sudoración, habitualmente secundaria a disfunción autonómica con hipersecreción de las glándulas sudoríparas ecrinas. La hiperhidrosis primaria focal es la forma más frecuente, y afecta axilas, palmas, plantas y/o cara. Frecuentemente genera un gran impacto en la calidad de vida y en la actividad social. Su tratamiento es complejo. Los antitranspirantes tópicos son recomendados en primer lugar en la mayoría de casos de hiperhidrosis leve. Múltiples ensayos clínicos y estudios prospectivos avalan la eficacia y tolerabilidad de los anticolinérgicos orales y tópicos. En casos moderado/graves, el glicopirronio tópico, el cual ha sido evaluado en al menos 8 ensayos clínicos con más de 2.000 pacientes en total, podría ser considerado la primera línea farmacológica en la hiperhidrosis axilar mal controlada con antitranspirantes tópicos; seguido por inyecciones de toxina botulínica, sistemas de microondas y por anticolinérgicos orales. En este artículo revisamos el rol de los anticolinérgicos tópicos en el manejo de la hiperhidrosis focal en adultos y niños.(AU)

Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, is characterized by overactivity of the eccrine sweat glands, usually associated with dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. Primary focal hyperhidrosis is the most common form and can affect the axillae, palms, soles, and/or face, often leading to significantly impaired quality of life and social functioning. Treatment is complex. Topical antiperspirants are normally recommended as the first-line treatment for mild hyperhidrosis. Multiple clinical trials and prospective studies support the efficacy and tolerability of oral and topical anticholinergics in the management of hyperhidrosis. Topical glycopyrronium, which has been investigated in at least 8 clinical trials enrolling more than 2000 patients, is probably the first-line pharmacological treatment for axillary hyperhidrosis in patients with moderate to severe disease poorly controlled with topical antiperspirants. Second-line treatments include botulinum toxin injections, microwave treatment, and oral anticholinergics. We review the use of topical anticholinergics in the management of focal hyperhidrosis in adults and children.(AU)

Dietas populares y su impacto en la piel. Una revisión narrativa / Popular Diets and Skin Effects: A Narrative Review

Se han popularizado diversas dietas para perder peso, incrementar la capacidad física y para el manejo de múltiples enfermedades crónicas: cardiovasculares, neurológicas o cutáneas. Destacan la dieta cetogénica y el ayuno intermitente, con resultados prometedores en la medicina tradicional y deportiva. Además, la dieta mediterránea se ha consolidado como una forma de alimentación de impacto positivo muy significativo en la salud. Otras dietas populares son la dieta «paleo», la dieta vegana y la libre de gluten. La dieta cetogénica, el ayuno intermitente y la dieta mediterránea aportan resultados favorables en dermatosis inflamatorias como la psoriasis, dermatitis atópica, hidradenitis supurativa o acné. La dieta mediterránea podría actuar también como factor protector para el desarrollo de algunas neoplasias cutáneas. En este artículo presentamos una revisión del papel de diversas dietas populares en el manejo de dermatosis. (AU)

Numerous diets for losing weight, building strength, and managing a range of cardiovascular, neurologic, and skin diseases have become popular in recent years. The ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting in particular have shown promising results in clinical and sports medicine. The Mediterranean diet, in turn, is widely recognized for its numerous health benefits. Also popular are the paleo diet and vegan and gluten-free diets. Positive effects on inflammatory conditions, such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, hidradenitis suppurativa, and acne, have been observed in patients who practice intermittent fasting or follow ketogenic or Mediterranean diets. This last choice may also protect against certain skin cancers. We review the role of several popular diets in the management of skin disorders. (AU)

Roflumilast tópico y oral en dermatología. Una revisión narrativa / Topical and Oral Roflumilast in Dermatology: A Narrative Review

Roflumilast es un inhibidor de la fosfodiesterasa-4 aprobado de forma oral para la prevención de exacerbaciones en pacientes con enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica y fenotipo de bronquitis crónica. En dermatología, el roflumilast tópico está aprobado por la Food and Drug Administration en psoriasis en placas y dermatitis seborreica leve/moderada. En cuanto a su uso fuera de indicación, hemos encontrado un ensayo clínico que avala la utilidad del roflumilast oral en psoriasis, así como pequeñas series de casos o casos clínicos aislados en hidradenitis supurativa, aftosis oral recurrente, eccema numular, liquen plano y enfermedad de Behçet. Su perfil de seguridad es favorable, similar al del apremilast, y su coste es considerablemente inferior a los de los fármacos de nueva generación, o incluso al de algunos inmunosupresores clásicos. Presentamos una revisión de roflumilast tópico y oral, en términos de farmacocinética y farmacodinámica, efectos adversos, usos dermatológicos aprobados y fuera de indicación. Roflumilast es un agente prometedor en dermatología.(AU)

Oral roflumilast is a phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor approved for the prevention of exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and chronic bronchitis. In dermatology, topical roflumilast is authorized by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of plaque psoriasis and mild to moderate seborrheic dermatitis. Several studies have described the off-label use of roflumilast in dermatology, including a randomized controlled trial showing its usefulness in the treatment of psoriasis; case reports and small series have also reported successful outcomes in hidradenitis suppurativa, recurrent oral aphthosis, nummular eczema, lichen planus, and Behçet disease. Roflumilast has a favorable safety profile, similar to that of apremilast, and it is considerably cheaper than new generation drugs and even some conventional immunosuppressants. We review the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of topical and oral roflumilast and discuss potential adverse effects and both approved and off-label uses in dermatology. Roflumilast is a promising agent to consider.(AU)

Review on the Role of Paraffin-embedded Margin-controlled Mohs Micrographic Surgery to Treat Skin Tumors.

Paraffin-embedded margin-controlled Mohs micrographic surgery (PMMS) includes various procedures such as slow Mohs or deferred Mohs technique, the Muffin and Tübingen techniques, and staged margin excision, or the spaghetti technique. PMMS is a variation of conventional Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) that allows histopathological examination with delayed margin control. PMMS requires minimum training and may be adopted by any hospital. The setback is that PMMS can require procedures across multiple days. PMMS lowers the rate of recurrence of basal cell carcinoma vs wide local excision in high-risk basal cell carcinoma, and improves the rates of recurrence and survival in lentigo maligna. PMMS can be very useful in high-risk squamous cell carcinoma treatment. Finally, it is a promising technique to treat infrequent skin neoplasms, such as dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, or extramammary Paget's disease, among others. In this article, we present a literature narrative review on PMMS, describing techniques and indications, and highlighting long-term outcomes.

Long-Term Safety Profile and Off-Label Use of JAK Inhibitors in Dermatological Disorders / Perfil de seguridad a largo plazo y usos fuera de indicación de los inhibidores de JAK en dermatología

JAK inhibitors target specific inflammatory cytokines involved in various inflammatory diseases. Four molecules have been approved for dermatological use: upadacitinib, baricitinib, abrocitinib and topical ruxolitinib. Off-label prescriptions for other dermatological conditions have been reported. We conducted a narrative review of the literature to assess the long-term safety profile of currently approved JAK inhibitors in dermatology, and their off-label use in skin disorders. We performed literature searches with Pubmed and Google Scholar from January 2000 to January 2023, using the keywords “Janus kinase inhibitors”, “JAK inhibitors”, “off-label”, “dermatology”, “safety”, “adverse events”, “ruxolitinib”, “upadacitinib”, “abrocitinib” and “baricitinib”. Our search yielded a total of 37 dermatological disorders with studies supporting the use of these JAK inhibitors. Preliminary studies indicate that JAK inhibitors generally have a favorable safety profile and can be considered as an option in many dermatological disorders (AU)
