New Insights on Acne, Rosacea, and Hidradenitis Suppurativa: Etiology and Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

Acne, rosacea, and hidradenitis suppurativa (formerly called acne inversa) are skin diseases which share similar features such as redness, papules, nodules. All can result in reduced self-esteem, anxiety, and depression.

With the recent advent of molecular biology and next-generation sequencing (NGS), knowledge on the skin microbiota in these skin conditions has grown exponentially. Additionally, the potential involvement of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 has been suggested in acne, rosacea and hidradenitis suppurativa which opens the possibility for new treatment. Biologics and JAK-inhibitors are also a promising option and should be further examined.

We herein welcome papers which provide exciting new insights on acne, rosacea, and hidradenitis suppurativa.
