Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Considering recent advances in the field, dermatovenerology has proven to be a specialty of clinical, investigative and therapeutic interest. Medical history and clinical examination, followed by non-invasive imaging, blood tests or the exploration of skin structures and their pathological changes, allow pathologists to better understand, detect and define diseases of the skin. Cutaneous signs and symptoms thus represent a window into the systemic state of the human body. Many diseases thought to be localized to the skin are now considered to be systemically involved in other areas. Each patient is unique, with their own comorbidities and anatomic or physiologic particularities.
Cutaneous skin diseases vary in appearance, evolution and prognosis, as well as in their response to various treatments. The management of skin disease comorbidities requires interdisciplinary collaboration among medical and surgical specialties. Novel treatments are now available for various skin conditions, including surgical, cosmetic and physiotherapeutic procedures. Drugs of both plant and chemical origin can produce systemic or adverse skin reactions. If classical therapy is ineffective or is not tolerated, off-the-label drugs or complementary and alternative medicine methods can be used as part of an integrative medicine treatment.
The new perspectives offered by translational medicine and research on the microbiome, endosymbionts, inflammatory molecules, diagnostics, treatments and observations of comorbidities, complications and their management are improving the standard of skin care, placing it in the context of personalized medicine and care.
This Special Issue of Life will collect and present data on the latest developments in the field. We welcome reviews and research/original articles. Life has no restrictions on the maximum length of research manuscripts, provided that the text is concise and comprehensive. Papers may have two corresponding authors and two first authors at most.
Given that the first and second edition of this Special Issue were a great success, we now invite you to publish in the third edition (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/life/special_issues/Dermatology_research; https://www.mdpi.com/journal/life/special_issues/U96NJI7EDI).
