Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Following the success of the first volume and second volume of our Special Issue “Mechanism, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Novelties in Dermatology”, we now welcome high-quality submissions for the third volume, which will be featured in the Medical Research Section.

The first volume is available via the following link: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/life/special_issues/610FW69Y66.

The second volume can be accessed here: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/life/special_issues/Dermatology_v2.

Dermatology is one of the oldest specialties and yet one of the most innovative and constantly evolving ones, too. It is a fairly self-sufficient specialty as the accessibility of the skin, mucous membranes, appendages, etc., enables a diagnosis without resorting to complementary means on many occasions. However, there is currently a revolution in the understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of different inflammatory and tumoral skin diseases, in the complementary techniques that we use to develop diagnosis (ultrasonography, dermoscopy, confocal microscopy, etc.), and in the availability of alternative approaches to treatment that use biological drugs and synthetic molecules of high economic impact.

For these reasons, we believe that this Special Issue of Life is incredibly topical. We look forward to garnering research pertaining to the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of skin diseases.

Vulvar cancer, particularly squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and melanoma, poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its complex presentation and high rates of postoperative complications. Effective management requires a multidisciplinary approach, integrating the expertise of gynecologic oncologists, dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and other specialists. This review highlights the dermatologist’s role in supporting early diagnosis, addressing predisposing conditions such as lichen sclerosus, and managing postoperative wound complications, including surgical site infections and dehiscence. Through two clinical cases, we illustrate how dermatological expertise complements surgical efforts by employing advanced wound care techniques such as negative pressure wound therapy and tailored dressing protocols. By collaborating closely with gynecologists and other team members, dermatologists enhance patient outcomes, ensuring timely recovery and the prevention of long-term sequelae. The article also discusses recent advances in treatment guidelines and targeted therapies, underscoring the importance of integrated care for optimizing patient outcomes in vulvar cancer.
