Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Personalized medicine is transforming dermatology by moving from generalized treatments to tailored approaches based on individual clinical, genetic, and lifestyle profiles. This is especially important in chronic inflammatory conditions such as psoriasis, acne, and hidradenitis suppurativa, where patient variability is considerable.
This Special Issue aims to explore the current landscape and future of personalized medicine in dermatology. We seek to highlight how precision strategies can improve therapeutic outcomes, reduce side effects, and enhance patient quality of life.
Advancements in biotechnology, pharmacogenomics, and digital health are driving more accurate diagnoses, treatment monitoring, and customized care, paving the way for truly patient-centered dermatology.
We welcome original research, reviews, and clinical perspectives on personalized dermatology. Relevant topics include biomarkers, treatment algorithms, targeted therapies, digital tools, patient-reported outcomes, and real-world applications of precision medicine.
