Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Skin inflammation is a sign of an immune response in the body. Symptoms include redness, heat, swelling, pain and itching. Skin inflammation has many potential causes, including allergies, infections and autoimmune diseases.
In this Special Issue, we would like to focus on modern developments in the molecular diagnosis, role and therapy of skin infections. Given how active these fields are, much progress is being made in research into the contribution of infections and the aetipathogenesis of skin diseases such as acne vulgaris, rosacea, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, etc. The study of the composition and role of the microbiome of healthy skin and that of skin with dermatological diseases and cosmetic defects is also very dynamic.
We invite original research and review articles relating to skin infection and inflammation. Therefore, I hope that the proposed theme for this Special Issue will be of great interest.
Dr. Danuta Nowicka
Guest Editor
