Introduction: Median canaliform dystrophy of Heller (MCDH) is a rare nail disorder that typically affects the thumbnails and is characterized by transverse ridges radiating from a paramedian canal or split in the nail plate, bearing resemblance to a fir tree. Case Report: We report here a case of a 60-year-old woman of rural origin, a carpet weaver, with no specific medical history. She was referred due to nail dystrophy on her thumbs that had been progressing over the last 10 years. Clinical examination revealed the presence of a midline splitting with a fir tree-like appearance of ridges angled backwards and normal cuticle. These lesions were symmetrically present on both thumbnails and the big toe nail. Based on this presentation, a diagnosis of Heller's canaliform dystrophy was established. Conclusion: Although the pathophysiology of MCDH remains unclear, proposed mechanisms include keratinocyte adhesion abnormalities, genetic predisposition, and inflammation within the nail matrix. Risk factors encompass medications like oral retinoids and self-inflicted trauma, as seen in repetitive cuticle manipulation. In this case, the patient’s nail dystrophy resulted from chronic local microtrauma due to her carpet weaving occupation, suggesting certain manual professions may contribute to MCDH development.

Introduction: 3D biomodels represent a cutting-edge advancement in medical imaging technology. The incorporation of 3D technologies in dermatology through the acquisition of onychological images, 3D reconstruction, and development of customized equipment to assist in surgeries demonstrated reduction in operating times and improved surgical outcomes. Additionally, the use of 3D printing in surgical simulation provided a safe environment for training and education. This article explores the application of 3D biomodels in dermatology, focusing on three clinical cases involving nail tumors. Case Presentation: In case 1, a glomus tumor was visualized in 3D, guiding the creation of a personalized surgical device. The minimally invasive surgery, facilitated by the biomodel, resulted in successful tumor removal. Case 2, featuring a subungual keratoacanthoma, utilized 3D biomodels for conservative surgery planning, anatomical comprehension, and patient communication. Case 3 involved a longitudinal groove, where biomodels aided in precise lesion localization and surgical planning. Conclusion: The integration of virtual and physical anatomical biomodels proves valuable in surgical dermatology, contributing to enhanced treatment quality, patient safety, and medical education.

Background: A retronychia classification system is overdue considering the most recent publications. Using the keyword “retronychia”, publications with a narrative literature review were selected from PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE and Google Scholar, adding a few select papers. Summary: This article proposes a theoretical pathophysiological basis for retronychia. Several factors alter the clinical picture of retronychia: length and periodicity of backward displacement, duration of disease, intensity of paronychia, presence and type of nail stacking (polymeronychia), and remodeling of the nail apparatus (elevation of the proximal nail, nail bed shortening, retroversion of the distal nail fold and acquired malalignment). Key Messages: With these factors in mind, we propose a new classification system for retronychia: A standing for acute, O for ongoing, and C for chronic. We believe this easy system may increase the diagnostic acuity for the disease and its understanding.

Introduction: Dissecting cellulitis of the scalp (DCS) is a neutrophilic scarring alopecia typically presenting with pustules and fluctuant nodules, followed by suppuration and sinus tract formation. DCS is often associated with other diseases, such as hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and conglobate acne (CA) which share similar pathogenetic mechanisms. Case Presentation: The authors report the case of a patient affected by a severe form of DCS, HS, and CA of the face. Previous treatments with isotretinoin, antibiotics, and adalimumab did not have a considerable efficacy. Off-label treatment with secukinumab showed a gradual improvement in the clinical presentation bringing to a reduction in the number of HS lesions and to an almost complete resolution of the inflammatory manifestations of DCS. Conclusion: Management of DCS is challenging and is typically based on retinoids which are considered the first line of treatment. The efficacy of biologic drugs, especially TNFα inhibitors, in severe and relapsing forms of DCS has been reported in recent literature. To our knowledge, only one case of isolated DCS treated with secukinumab is reported. No cases of concomitant DCS and HS, treated with this type of IL-17 inhibitor, have been described.
导言：头皮剥脱性蜂窝织炎（DCS）是一种嗜中性瘢痕性脱发，通常表现为脓疱和波动性结节，随后化脓并形成窦道。头皮裂孔性脱发常与其他疾病相关，如化脓性扁桃体炎（HS）和充血性痤疮（CA），它们的发病机制相似。病例介绍：作者报告了一例面部患有严重 DCS、HS 和 CA 的患者。患者曾接受过异维A酸、抗生素和阿达木单抗治疗，但疗效不佳。使用secukinumab进行标示外治疗后，患者的临床表现逐渐改善，HS皮损数量减少，DCS的炎症表现几乎完全消退。结论DCS的治疗具有挑战性，通常以维甲酸类药物为一线治疗药物。最近有文献报道，生物药物，尤其是 TNFα 抑制剂，对重症和复发性 DCS 有一定疗效。据我们所知，目前仅有一例使用secukinumab治疗的孤立性DCS病例。目前还没有使用这种IL-17抑制剂治疗DCS和HS并发症的病例。

Background: The nail unit is a complex system with various components, each serving distinct functions. The exposome, encompassing external and internal factors such as UV radiation, air pollution, dietary habits, and cosmetic product usage, substantially influences nail health and can lead to premature nail aging. Summary: Internal and external exposomal factors can impact differently on nail health, inducing a variety of different clinical conditions. Effective therapeutic strategies exist, but a comprehensive understanding of how the exposome affects nails is lacking. This article aims to bridge this knowledge gap by exploring the relationship between the exposome and nail health, emphasizing it as a central focus of our analysis. Key Messages: (1) The exposome, comprising various external and internal factors, may significantly influence nail health negatively, leading to premature nail aging. (2) Different nail conditions may arise due to the exposomal influence on nails. (3) Understanding the exposome’s impact on nail health is crucial for developing solutions to mitigate negative effects and improve overall nail well-being.

Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the skin that mainly affects the apocrine gland-rich intertriginous areas. The disease manifests as painful nodules, abscesses, and pus-filled tunnels, which can severely impact patient’s quality of life. While diagnosis is clinical, successful treatment options for this condition are limited. There has been an increase in research and clinical trials focusing on biomarkers and cytokines for clinical use. Understanding the potential biomarkers and cytokines implicated in HS pathogenesis may allow efficacious and safe treatment options. Summary: A literature review was conducted on nine biomarkers and cytokines. IL-1, IL-10, IL-17, IL-23, TNF-α, YKL-40, G-CSF, NOD2, and the complement system were identified due to their potential clinical utilization and pathophysiological involvement in HS. Key Messages: With further research expanding our understanding of the pathophysiology of HS and the roles these cytokines and biomarkers play, there is potential for utilization as diagnostic markers or development of antagonists against these specific agents for HS management.

Background: As self-applied manicures have gained popularity, it is important for physicians to remain informed about potential associated side effects. Traditional polish remains most popular among nail enthusiasts, but the pursuit of durability and convenience accelerated development of other nail cosmetic products, including gel polish, acrylic nails, and press-on nails. Despite documented adverse effects among beauty professionals and salon customers, individuals practicing at-home nail care routines may face similar, if not more, frequent complications due to misinformation, inadequate training, and social media trends. Summary: This review provides an overview of adverse effects associated with different at-home nail cosmetics. Allergic contact dermatitis is the most prevalent adverse event, primarily attributed to (meth)acrylates found in nail glue, gel polish, and acrylic nails. Other adverse effects include infections, chemical burns, and complications from ultraviolet nail lamps. Key Message: The review highlights the importance of transparent product labeling and appropriate warning labels from manufacturers, as well as physician education and awareness for minimizing risks related to at-home nail cosmetic applications.
