The article presents three clinical cases of giant chancres of perigenital localization. In the first case, the patient went to the surgeon with complaints of inflammation of the skin of the penis, the "ulcer" on the abdomen, which had appeared a month before, did not bother him at all. The next two observations were identified as sexual contacts. It is interesting that all three cases, in addition to the identical localization of the primary affect (skin of the abdomen), unite friendly relations and a common source of infection. The presence of generalized specific eruptions (roseolous eruptions without a tendency to group) against the background of remnants of a hard chancre implies a diagnosis of secondary fresh syphilis in the patient. However, in all the described patients, we observed a clinical picture more characteristic of an unfavorable course of recurrent secondary syphilis: widespread papulopustular elements and alopecia.

The purpose of the study: to describe the experience of simultaneous surgery in dermatovenereology and cosmetology on the example of one of the private medical organizations. Materials and methods of research: clinical observation, examination results. Results: The article reflects the experience of a private medical organization, which is one of the first in the country to actively introduce simultaneous surgery in dermatology for several years. In particular, in 2022, in this clinic, 32 surgical interventions were performed simultaneously with a dermatovenereologist. Also, the clinic regularly performs simultaneous operations in the following combinations: hysteroscopy (with or without curettage) + removal of benign melanocytic/non-melanocytic skin tumors; surgical treatment of hemorrhoids + removal of papillomas / nevi; surgical treatment of anal fissure + removal of papillomas / nevi; laser vaporization of the pilonidal sinus + removal of genital warts; laparoscopic cholecystectomy + removal of nevi. Conclusions: The use of simultaneous operations in dermatovenerological practice is economically justified and justified, taking into account the modern possibilities of anesthetic care, improvement of their technical and medical support. Simultaneous combined operations exclude psycho-emotional experiences of the forthcoming repeated surgical intervention in patients and allow the surgeon to perform high-quality medical interventions in a comfortable environment.

The article provides modern definitions and classification of urticaria. The general provisions of the treatment of chronic urticaria, the treatment of which is often very difficult, are outlined. The main provisions of the treatment of urticaria were formulated, according to which the patient should be treated until the rash is completely resolved. In chronic urticaria, it is necessary to identify and eliminate the causes of dermatosis; avoid exposure to identified triggers; increase tolerance; pharmacological treatment should be aimed at preventing the release of mast cell mediators and/or the effects of mast cell mediators.
The goal of treatment should be to relieve the symptoms of urticaria as completely as possible, taking into account the safety and quality of life of the patient in each individual case.
The importance of identifying and addressing underlying causes and avoiding identified triggers is emphasized. The therapy algorithm is considered in detail, including 4 lines according to the European guidelines and domestic clinical guidelines. Particular attention is paid to the treatment of various subtypes of chronic urticaria. A comparative description of the most effective antihistamines, including generics, is given.

The article presents the description of three clinical cases of the successful treatment of toe onychomycosis and athlete's foot of various etiologies using 5% amorolfine antifungal nail lacquer. The first case: a 31-year-old woman was diagnosed with white superficial onychomycosis of great toe caused by T.rubrum. The treatment with 5 % amorolfine once a week for 6 months resulted in full recovery. The initiation of long-term preventive therapy with 5 % amorolfine lacquer prevented from recurrent toe onychomycosis.The second case: a 42-year-old woman developed onychomycosis after the application of decorative coating on her nails; onychomycosis was caused by Scopulariopsis brevicaulis. She was treated with itraconazole pulse therapy and 5% amorolfine lacquer. She fully recovered.
The third case: a 65-year-old man with total onychomycosis of 10 toes developed the skin mycosis of the left foot and lower third of the leg. He was prescribed a therapy with sertaconazole cream and 5 % amorolfine lacquer. The use of 5 % amorolfine lacquer was continued to prevent from recurrent dermatomycosis.Thus, the above mentioned cases are a good example of the advantages of using 5% amorolfine lacquer in the treatment of most toe onychomycosis types caused by any pathogens (dermatophytes, yeasts or molds).

A clinical case of leprosy diagnosis in a citizen of the Republic of Chad (lepra-endemic region), а 24 year old male, student is presented. In 2019 the patient received permission to stay in the Russian Federation for educational purposes, entered one of the federal universities, and studied in Moscow, living in a hostel. During these years, he applied to various clinics, complaining of skin rashes and other symptoms characteristic of leprosy, without the effect of the prescribed treatment. In 2023, after contacting the clinic of skin diseases of the First Moscow State Medical University named after I.I. I.M. Sechenov was first sent to the The Federal State Research Center of Dermatovenereology and Cosmetology of the Ministry of Health of Russia with suspicion of leprosy.
The results of clinical and laboratory studies including bacterioscopic examination of skin scarifications and pathohistological study of the skin confirmed the diagnosis: A30.5 Leprosy, multibacterial form, lepromatous type, active stage.
This case presentation testifies to the lack of alertness regarding leprosy, especially among doctors conducting medical examinations of foreign citizens in order to obtain permission to stay in the Russian Federation, which may cause the spread of dangerous infectious diseases on the territory of the Russian Federation

Granuloma annulare (GA) is a chronic inflammatory necrobiotic granulomatous skin disease, which is based on a delayed hypersensitivity reaction caused by the production of interferon- (IFN-) by tissue macrophages and th1-limocytes, tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), which leads to the degradation of connective tissue.
The most frequent form of GA if localized which is characterized clinically by grouped papules and plaques of red or pink color on the extremities. although disseminated variants of disease occur in 15% of all cases of ag. in contrast to the practically asymptomatic course of the localized form, typical signs of disseminated form are intensive sense of itching, the presence of at least ten foci of skin lesions, recurrent and resistance to treatment course.
A 53-year-old female patient with a long-term recurrent course of annular granuloma after a weak clinical response to therapy with pentoxifilin, methotrexate and azathioprine turned to the dermatology department of the university hospital. In light of the lack of satisfactory treatment options anti-cytokine therapy with adalimumab was recommended at a daily dosage of 80 mg, once a week, for 2 weeks, then 1 time every two weeks for 1.5 months. Already on the 5th day after receiving the first injection, the patient reported that the feeling of itching disappeared. By the end of the second week of the induction phase of biotherapy, it became obvious that new rashes did not appear, and the old elements of the skin rash had significantly flattened, turned pale and decreased in volume. After the second week of consolidated therapy, the dermatologist confirmed the convalescence.

Background: Systemic isotretinoin is an effective treatment for acne, but the significant relapse rate requires a search for optimal daily doses to prolong disease remission.
Purpose: To compare the results of systemic therapy of moderate-to-severe resistant and severe papulopustular pustular acne with isotretinoin at daily doses of 0.5; 0.7 and 1.0 mg/kg body weight.
Methods: In a retrospective study, data from outpatient records and facial skin corneometry results of 125 individuals (95 acne patients, 30 healthy individuals) were analyzed. Patients with acne received isotretinoin (Sotret)at a daily dose of0.5; 0.7 or 1.0 mg/kg body weight, with a cumulative dose of 120 mg/kg body weight in all patients. The duration of follow-up of patients, according to outpatient records, was 18 months.
Results: Isotretinoin systemic therapy was effective in patients in all compared groups. The resolution of inflammatory elements was faster (p0.001) in those who received doses of isotretinoin 0.7 and 1.0 mg/kg body weight. After treatment, elevated values of sebumetry, skin relief, pore size, and pigmentation were normalized in all groups. There was a significant difference in the incidence of adverse events depending on the dose of isotretinoin. The number of patients with relapses registered at 18-week follow-up after therapy in Group I was 6 (18.75%); in Group II, 4 (12.5%); in Group III, 1 (3.2%), the differences between the groups being significant (p=0.003).
Conclusion: Therapy of moderate-to-severe resistant and severe papulopustular acne with systemic isotretinoin (Sotret) at daily doses of 0.5; 0.7 and 1.0 mg/kg at a cumulative dose of 120 mg/kg body weight demonstrates comparable clinical efficacy. However, recurrence rates during the 18-month follow-up period correlated with the daily dose of the drug.

Background. Psoriatic arthritis risk prediction and early detection in patients with psoriasis may help prevent irreversible musculoskeletal changes and improve patients outcomes.
Aims. To develop and validate predictive model for psoriatic arthritis risk assessment and classification for patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis based on demographic and clinical characteristics.
Materials and methods. Data of psoriasis patient registry of Russian Society of Dermatovenereologists and Cosmetologists was analyzed. Significant differences between independent variables of interest among patients with and without psoriatic arthritis were determined by means of 2-test or MannWitney test. Predictive models were developed stepwise by means of logistic regression analysis. Independent variables of low significance were excluded from the model. Regression coefficients were considered significant if p 0.05. The optimal cut-off value was derived from ROC-analysis. The model performance was evaluated by calculation of AUC, sensitivity and specificity on training and test datasets. Finally, adjusted regression coefficients, AUC, sensitivity and specificity were derived for pooled data.
Results. Training sample included 3245 patients with psoriasis, 920 of them had diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis. The final predictive model included five significant predictors: psoriasis duration, medical history of psoriatic erythroderma, family history of psoriatic arthritis, arterial hypertension, and fatty liver. All regression coefficients were highly significant (p 0.001). The AUC of prediction model adjusted on pooled data was 0,7473, sensitivity 70%, specificity 66% for cut-off value 0.212.
Conclusions. Developed predictive model for risk assessment of psoriatic arthritis may contribute to its earlier detection in patients with psoriasis taking into account the degree of influence of significant predictors. The proposed classification may be used to discriminate patients at higher risk of psoriatic arthritis.

Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa is caused by mutations in the COL7A1 gene. The disease characterized by clinical heterogeneity. To date, scientific findings allow to evaluate correlations between the severity of clinical manifestations and genetic defects underlying in the development of the disease. A systematic literature search was performed using PubMed and RSCI, and keywords including dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, collagen VII, COL7A1. The review includes description of clinical findings of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa. The types and localization of pathogenic mutations of the COL7A1 gene, their influence on the protein synthesis, structure and functioning are characterized. The correlation between severe course of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa and mutations resulting in premature termination codons generation which associate with the absence of type VII collagen at the dermo-epidermal junction has been described. Nevertheless, genotype-phenotype correlations should be analyzed carefully due to mechanisms which enable to restore protein expression as well as the possibility of the formation of premature termination codons associated with a more severe course of the disease, when replacing nucleotides in case of their influence on splicing.
