BACKGROUND Acne is a chronic inflammatory disease predominantly affecting young people. This study was undertaken to assess the impact of acne in young adults on their major life-changing decisions (MLCD), paying attention to the relationships between major life-changing decisions profile (MLCDP) and Quality of Life (QoL), feeling of stigmatization and acceptance of the disease. METHODS The study was performed on 213 young people diagnosed with acne. A variety of questionnaires were employed to measure the clinical and psychological aspects of acne. RESULTS The majority of patients (N.=148, 73.3%) reported at least one MLCD that acne affected in any way (mean number 2.9±3.2, range: 0-18). The most common MLCD influenced by acne appeared to be a decision of changing eating habits (N.=132, 65.3%), followed by changing habits associated with smoking and alcohol (N.=85, 42.1%) and deciding to be more active physically (N.=61, 30.2%). The total score of MLCDP ranged from 0 to 33 points (mean 5.41±6.23 points). MLCDP total score significantly correlated with clinical acne severity (P=0.006), QoL (P<0.001), stigmatization (P<0.001) and illness acceptance (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Acne has an important impact on life-changing decisions in young adults. MLCDP correlates with impaired QoL, level of stigmatization and degree of illness acceptance. This should be taken into consideration in the holistic approach to acne patients.

BACKGROUND Psoriasis (P) and atopic dermatitis (AD) share some common characteristics. The resulting clinical picture with shared manifestations is a new entity called psoriasis dermatitis (PD), atopic psoriasis or psorema. The purpose of this study was to identify the clinical manifestations of this new dermatological condition, focusing on the adult population. METHODS We recruited adult patients from two outpatient clinics, the "severe psoriasis" and the "adult atopic dermatitis," between January 1st, 2021, and December 31st, 2021. The 26 patients meeting the inclusion criteria were followed for 12 months, and two control groups of patients were enrolled in the same period. RESULTS The frequencies of the variables examined within the patients affected by PD were compared with those of P or AD group. The age at disease onset was significantly higher in PD patients and the duration of symptoms was also significantly lower in PD patients, compared to both P and AD groups. Affected areas were similar between PD and P, instead the scalp, feet and genitals were more frequently involved in the PD group than in the AD group. CONCLUSIONS P and AD seem part of a spectrum rather than a dichotomy, where PD is an entity in the middle of this spectrum.

Introduction: In recent years, several non-invasive imaging methods have been introduced to facilitate studies in dermatology and cosmetic research, almost completely replacing invasive methods such as biopsy. Imaging devices have proven to be useful tools in skin analysis and therapy monitoring. This review aimed to investigate the most recent studies in cosmetic dermatology the imaging technology and methods that are being used to assess skin characteristics and summarize its fundamentals, possible applications, advantages, and limitations, and to give a future perspective to the clinical trials.
Evidence acquisition: For that, a literature review was carried out in the main scientific database platforms and the studies associating skin image analysis with dermatology and cosmetic research were selected and discussed.
Evidence synthesis: It was possible to infer that skin image analyses are not only practical and effective, but have also become increasingly essential for the skin sciences. The in vivo and real-time image analyses allow a more complete evaluation and the follow-up of the same region for different periods. It was also possible to observe that macroscopic, microscopic, and mesoscopic imaging methods are complementary, allowing different approaches in the same study.
Conclusions: These technologies are expected to evolve more and more quickly in the near future.
