Melasma is a chronic pigmentary disorder that results in hyperpigmented patches in sun-exposed areas. Tranexamic acid (TXA) and microneedling are potential treatment options for individuals with melasma. The objective of our systematic review was to review 12 randomized controlled trials and clinical trials on the use and efficacy of TXA with microneedling for melasma. The combination of TXA and microneedling was found to be more effective at improving melasma lesions than either treatment alone; TXA alone was equally effective at reducing melasma lesions vs the standard treatment of hydroquinone.

Financial relationships between dermatologists and industry are prevalent and may have implications for patient care. To analyze reported industry payments made to dermatologists, we performed a retrospective analysis of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Open Payments database (OPD) from January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2021. During this 5-year period, a total of $278 million in industry payments were made to dermatologists. It is important for all dermatologists to review their public profiles in the OPD to confirm the reported payments are accurate.

In the increasingly competitive field of residency and fellowship training, research productivity has become a key differentiator for applicants. This heightened emphasis on scholarly activity has led some to describe the process as a "research arms race," with residents feeling pressured to boost their research output to stand out. This article explores the challenges dermatology residents face in conducting meaningful research across diverse program environments, emphasizing the crucial role of mentorship. It also highlights systematic reviews as a valuable and feasible option for residents seeking to contribute to the medical literature. A streamlined framework for conducting these reviews also is provided, offering a practical pathway to meaningful scholarly activity amid the demands of residency training and the competitive nature of specialty matching.

Fibromyalgia is a common musculoskeletal condition that affects up to 3% of the worldwide population. Its pathogenesis is not entirely clear but is thought to involve neurogenic inflammation as well as aberrations in peripheral nerves and central pain mechanisms. It is believed that the same mechanism that causes hypersensitivity and pain in patients with fibromyalgia also predisposes them to pruritus. This population-based, retrospective, cross-sectional study was performed using a computerized database encompassing more than 4.5 million patients to examine the association between fibromyalgia and pruritus as well as pruritus-related skin conditions.
