Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of dermatology has experienced remarkable development in recent years, with advances in diagnostic techniques and therapeutic approaches that improve patient outcomes. Accurate diagnosis is necessary for an effective treatment, particularly as the spectrum of skin diseases continues to be described.
Today, the integration of diagnostic tools—ranging from molecular techniques to imaging innovations—enables earlier and more precise detection of dermatologic conditions. Simultaneously, the development of novel therapies, including targeted and personalized treatments, is changing the management of chronic and complex skin diseases.
In this Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Diagnosis and Management of Skin Diseases”, we aim to explore the current scenario and future directions in dermatologic care. Through a series of expert contributions and comprehensive reviews, we will highlight key innovations and clinical experiences that reflect the dynamic of modern dermatology.
I warmly invite researchers and clinicians from diverse backgrounds to share their knowledge and findings. By fostering collaboration and disseminating insights, this issue intends to serve as a valuable reference for advancing clinical practice and improving patient care in dermatology.
Dr. Montserrat Fernández-Guarino
Guest Editor
