Options to prevent facial insect bites while sleeping are limited. Patients may prefer to avoid facial application of potentially neurotoxic insect repellants. Non-toxic “natural” repellants have limited efficacy, and netting may not be well-tolerated. Nightly facial application of 1% topical ivermectin (IVM) cream completely prevented overnight bites in 2 patients, both of whom reported recurrent bites after discontinuation, and a return to complete bite prevention after IVM resumption. Topical IVM may be an alternative facial mosquito bite prevention modality. J Drugs Dermatol. 2022;21(8):906-907. doi:10.36849/JDD.6432.

Dermatologists often recommend vitamin D for sun-protected patients. Most patients are not aware of the key role vitamin K2 plays in vitamin D metabolism and do not receive sufficient dietary vitamin K2. A survey of 50 sun-protecting patients shows 4/50 understood the role of vitamin K2 and 1/50 was supplementing vitamin K2. Therefore, counseling on vitamin K2 supplementation may be of benefit to sun-protected dermatology patients. J Drugs Dermatol. 2021;20(2):228-229. doi:10.36849/JDD.5829.

Vertical surgical sites or those on reclining patients often present a challenge when establishing and securing a sterile field. The drape or towel most proximal to the physician is often vertically oriented. The forces of gravity and movements of surgery can shift or detach this vertical drape. Sterile clamps are not always available or are needed for securing other instruments. We present a method to secure this vulnerable drape using a central fenestrated adherent drape.

Paring is useful for both diagnosis and treatment of plantar warts. Paring techniques generally involve scalpel blades, abrasive tools, or curettes. However, these tools do not permit the use of an "awl-like" carving technique of the wart afforded by using a punch biopsy tool. We have found this technique to be associated with greater precision and safety, as well as potentially increased efficacy compared to traditional methods.
