Abstract
The role of oral JAK inhibitors in the treatment of nail lichen planus (NLP) has recently been reported, but there have been no literature reports on the treatment of NLP with topical Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor. We present, for the first time, a preliminary clinical experience with topical ruxolitinib cream, a JAK inhibitor, in a child with NLP. The remarkable results suggest topical ruxolitinib cream may be a potential treatment option for NLP.
期刊介绍:
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that focuses on the latest clinical and experimental research in all aspects of skin disease and cosmetic interventions. Normal and pathological processes in skin development and aging, their modification and treatment, as well as basic research into histology of dermal and dermal structures that provide clinical insights and potential treatment options are key topics for the journal.
Patient satisfaction, preference, quality of life, compliance, persistence and their role in developing new management options to optimize outcomes for target conditions constitute major areas of interest.
The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of clinical studies, reviews and original research in skin research and skin care.
All areas of dermatology will be covered; contributions will be welcomed from all clinicians and basic science researchers globally.
