There is greater disease severity, increased itch intensity, and a more pronounced reduction in quality of life in PN compared with other individuals with chronic pruritus. PN is associated with a range of systemic comorbidities, including chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, HIV and tuberculosis infection, hepatic disorders, and autoimmune diseases. Additionally, PN is frequently accompanied by psychiatric comorbidities such as depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, further complicating management. Sleep disturbances and neurologic comorbidities, including neuropathic pain and central sensitization, are also common in PN patients. Diagnosis should include a comprehensive review of systems to assess for comorbidities and evaluate disease severity, guiding personalized treatment approaches.

Through an analysis of the digital content and media posts on RedNote as well as an examination of related scientific literature, this study identifies and reviews distinct examples of dermatology advice promoted by the RedNote platform. Key findings highlight the combination of aggressive ingredients, irregular home-made treatments, and the endorsement of alarming beauty procedures. Algorithmically structured platforms like RedNote prioritize online engagement over factual evidence. When merged with the consumer-oriented culture and the necessary high beauty standards, this fosters an environment where false information can expand and thrive. Our analysis reveals a public health concern where social platforms and influencer culture contribute to cutaneous health hazards. We have proposed some practical solutions, emphasizing the importance of elevated media literacy among social community spaces and vocalized professional intervention.

Early-career researchers often look for clear indicators to identify leading authors; however, reliance on single measures such as citation counts or the h-index provides only a limited view of scholarly influence. Using diverse bibliometric indicators from Scopus, we observed that author rankings shifted considerably depending on the metric applied, reflecting the lack of agreement on how best to capture academic impact. Similarly, we noted that ethical publications (letters, notes, and related formats) in dermatology may contribute to scholarly discussions and institutional practices but often receive modest citation profiles, highlighting the gap between measurable indicators and genuine value. Inflated authorship practices and citation manipulation further complicate fair evaluation. Fractional authorship models and multidimensional frameworks that consider publication type, journal quality, collaboration, funding strength, and broader societal contributions may offer more balanced perspectives. We suggest that institutions, journals, and training programs promote the ethical use of metrics and integrate qualitative assessments alongside quantitative ones.
