REVIEW
Mansee Desai, Jasmine Gill, Janiene Luke
Over time, cosmetic procedures have continued to grow in popularity and patients seeking these procedures have expanded to include more patients with skin of color. However, not all cosmetic procedures are created equally and it is important to understand the nuances associated with treating darker skin types. This review aims to provide clinical pearls and pitfalls when performing the following procedures in skin of color: chemical peels, microneedling, injectables (botulinum toxin and fillers), and laser treatments...

EDITORIAL
Yasuhiro Horiuchi
Post-acne scarring in severe acne is a major aesthetic problem that can impair a patient's quality of life. It has been pointed out that blocking mast cell function with tranilast can prevent or minimize scarring and can be a satisfactory therapeutic strategy. Mast cells are prominent in acne lesions, and their involvement in scar formation has also been specified. Here, we discuss the importance of mast cell control in suppressing post-acne scar formation.

OBJECTIVE: The fixed-dose corticosteroid/retinoid combination halobetasol propionate (0.01%) and tazarotene (0.045%) lotion (HP/TAZ) is approved for topical treatment of plaque psoriasis in adults. In addition to its current indication for plaque psoriasis, a growing body of clinical data suggests that HP/TAZ may be a beneficial therapy for palmoplantar and scalp psoriasis. Here, we discuss the efficacy and safety of HP/TAZ in various psoriatic phenotypes and related conditions. METHODS: Three studies (one post-hoc analysis, two open-label reports) of HP/TAZ were identified for this discussion...

BACKGROUND: Methotrexate has been used successfully in the treatment of vitiligo. It leads to decrease in the number of TNF-α secreting T cells in association with increase in the number of interleukin (IL)-10 producing T cells. Topical forms of methotrexate do not have significant hematologic or hepatotoxic side effects unlike the systemic forms of the drug. OBJECTIVE: We sought to evaluate the efficacy and safety of methotrexate gel for the treatment of vitiligo, either alone or combined with narrowband (NB) ultraviolet B (UVB) or with excimer light...

Trichofolliculoma (TF) is a rare benign adnexal follicular tumor, described as hamartoma with follicular differentiation according to some authors. It typically appears during adulthood on the face or scalp as an isolated nodule with protrusion of central tufted hairs. We present a retrospective series of eleven patients with histologically confirmed TF to evaluate epidemiological, clinical, and histopathologic characteristics. The mean age at excision was 46 years with extremes ranging from 20 to 75 years...

REVIEW
Indrashis Podder, Arunima Dhabal, Sankha Subhra Chakraborty
BACKGROUND: Oral second-generation antihistamines (sgAH) constitute the first-line treatment for chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), a debilitating dermatological condition. However, many patients respond incompletely, and up-dosing sgAHs up to four-fold their conventional dose is recommended for disease control. Many physicians refrain from up-dosing due to a paucity of efficacy and safety data, instead adding a second antihistamine or an immunomodulator. OBJECTIVE: With the aim of addressing this knowledge gap, we conducted a literature review to highlight efficacy and safety data on up-dosed sgAHs...

There is a documented shortage of Black dermatologists in the United States, with little known about their practice characteristics. We analyzed the practice patterns (e.g., location, group setting, beneficiary characteristics, local geographic characteristics) of 221 self-identified Black dermatologists in the Black Dermatologist Directory through analysis of publicly available Medicare datasets. Compared to non-Black dermatologists, Black dermatologists were more likely to be female (80.1% vs. 51.1%), practice in the South (49...

BACKGROUND: High-intensity stationary therapeutic ultrasound (HITU) technology is gaining popularity as an attractive modality for treating different conditions, but little is known about its application in aesthetics. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effects of stationary unfocused ultrasound (HITU technology) in treating localized fat in women's abdominal region. METHODS: The sample consisted of 43 women with localized abdominal adiposity, assessed pre and post-treatment by assessment protocols, adversity analysis questionnaires, ultrasound exams, and serum level exams...

Analysis of morphological characteristics for the diagnosis of melanoma remains a challenge. New technologies for the diagnosis and prognosis of melanocytic lesions have been emerging to ensure earlier and more accurate detection. In this article, we review multiple technologies that improve melanoma diagnostic accuracy such as electrical impedance spectroscopy, pigmented lesion assay, reflectance confocal microscopy, and gene expression profile tests.

BACKGROUND: Crow's feet is one of the signs of skin aging. Many studies regarding skin aging have been carried out in Caucasians, as for Asians, there are different genotypes and phenotypes. Some anti-aging treatments carry a slightly higher risk of side effects and irritation in Asian skin. Currently, the use of topical active peptides for anti-aging, Acetylhexapeptide-3 (AHP-3) and Palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 (PPP-4), has been widely developed. This study aimed to investigate the anti-aging effects of AHP-3 and PPP-4 on the Asian patient with crow's feet...
