Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dermatitis refers to a broad group of inflammatory skin diseases with diverse etiologies and immunological characteristics, including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and prurigo. Recent advances in molecular dermatology have elucidated complex networks involving IL-4, IL-13, IL-17, IL-23, JAK-STAT, and the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) pathways, which are now major therapeutic targets for biologics and small molecule inhibitors. While these groundbreaking advances have significantly improved clinical outcomes, the reasons why specific agents demonstrate varying efficacy across disease subtypes and patient populations remain unclear. This Special Issue, “Understanding Dermatitis: Symptoms and Effective Treatment Options,” aims to provide an integrated understanding of disease mechanisms, clinical phenotypes, and treatment responsiveness across various forms of dermatitis. We welcome submissions on biomarkers, comorbidities, and real-world data to advance precision medicine and improve patient care in inflammatory skin diseases. Contributions may include original articles and reviews.
