However, ethical and professional concerns arise due to the lack of dermatology-specific guidelines in Italy. While the National Federation of Orders of Physicians and Dentists (FNOMCeO) offers general recommendations, no targeted framework exists to regulate dermatologists' digital presence.Methods: During the 32nd Annual AIDA Congress in May 2024, a working group of 23 dermatologists with active online engagement was formed. Existing ethical frameworks, including the Code of Medical Ethics, were reviewed to identify regulatory gaps. A core team drafted 12 statements, which were refined through a structured discussion and a vote to reach consensus.Results: The working group developed 12 best practice statements covering key aspects of ethical online engagement, including responsible social media use, conflict-of-interest disclosures, adherence to scientific evidence, patient privacy, and the fight against misinformation. These statements establish clear principles to guide dermatologists in their digital communication.Conclusions: This is the first dermatology-specific digital communication consensus in Italy, addressing an urgent need for ethical regulation. These recommendations provide a structured framework for dermatologists, ensuring responsible online engagement while maximizing public health impact. Further regulatory efforts are essential to maintain high professional and ethical standards in the digital era.","PeriodicalId":14526,"journal":{"name":"Italian Journal of Dermatology and Venereology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144707487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A comprehensive literature review was conducted to gather evidence on gender-related differences aiming at reducing healthcare inequalities. While women tend to be more symptomatic, the diagnosis is often delayed, leading to a reduced quality of life and an increased risk of long-term complications. This may be partly a consequence of the fact that they are more likely to present with seronegative forms. Moreover, in women, reproductive issues, known to be associated with DH and CD, along with osteopenia/osteoporosis, and anemia are particularly prevalent. It should be also noted that beyond personal diagnosis, DH and CD also affect women indirectly, as they often take on caregiving roles for affected family members. The lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet, the only effective treatment for DH, imposes a substantial lifestyle and financial burden. Gluten-free diet is frequently perceived as both gendered and class-based, placing a disproportionate strain on women and lower-income households. In this regard, recent recommendations to prioritize naturally gluten-free foods rather than \"gluten-free\" products, may offer some relief. However, the responsibility for acquiring the skills necessary for such dietary choices often falls predominantly on women.","PeriodicalId":14526,"journal":{"name":"Italian Journal of Dermatology and Venereology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144690223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to assess potential associations between SES and scabies diagnosis.Methods: The SES of a retrospective cohort of subjects residing in the province of Ferrara, north-east Italy, who were diagnosed with scabies between 2016 and 2024, was evaluated. SES was represented through an ecological-based deprivation index that identified five subgroups, ranging from I (highest SES) to V (lowest SES).Results: A total of 307 subjects (188 males, ages ranging from 0 to 93 years) received a diagnosis of scabies at the local Dermatology Unit during the study period. The number of scabies diagnoses gradually increased. The distribution of patients across SES quintiles closely mirrored that of the general population in the same geographical area. However, scabies patients were more likely to belong to the two most deprived classes (IV and V) than to the highest SES classes (I and II) (P<0.001).Conclusions: Scabies is a widespread infestation that can affect anyone, regardless of their SES. Nevertheless, belonging to lower SES classes appears to increase the risk of contracting scabies: to a greater extent, scabies tends to affect individuals from more deprived backgrounds.","PeriodicalId":14526,"journal":{"name":"Italian Journal of Dermatology and Venereology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144690224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, microtrauma, which involves small, intentional skin injuries, has emerged as a promising method to stimulate hair growth through immunomodulation in non-scarring alopecias. This review explores the pathogenesis of hair loss, the mechanisms behind microtrauma, various methods of inducing it, and their efficacy in treating non-scarring alopecia. Hair follicles undergo cyclic phases of growth, regression, and rest, influenced by microenvironmental factors, including immune cells. Procedures utilizing microtrauma can promote hair regrowth by manipulating immune cells through wound healing responses, increasing growth factor release, and enhancing blood circulation. Examples of microtrauma include microneedling, fractional and non-fractional lasers, contact immunotherapy, low-level laser therapy (LLLT), and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections. Microneedling promotes stem cell activation and the expression of hair growth-related genes. Iontophoresis enhances drug delivery. Lasers induce controlled tissue injury leading to regeneration that may promote transitions in hair growth phases. Photobiomodulation may stimulate cellular activity and prolong growth phases. Contact immunotherapy induces allergic immune responses that promote hair regrowth in alopecia areata, while PRP expedites wound healing and tissue restoration. In androgenetic alopecia, microneedling, lasers, LLLT, and PRP have shown efficacy in increasing hair density and thickness. For alopecia areata, contact immunotherapy, and combination therapies involving microneedling and lasers have demonstrated positive outcomes. Limited studies on telogen effluvium suggest that microneedling and PRP can improve hair density. Microtrauma-based treatments offer promising strategies for hair regeneration. Continued research is necessary to enhance therapeutic options for non-scarring alopecia.","PeriodicalId":14526,"journal":{"name":"Italian Journal of Dermatology and Venereology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144583930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Little is known about AAI in men. The aim of this study was to characterize the history, clinical, trichoscopic, and histopathologic features of AAI in male patients.Methods: All histopathologically proven male patients with AAI between April 2011 and December 2023, were included in the study. The history, clinical, trichoscopic and histopathologic features of the male patients were evaluated.Results: Twenty-nine patients with AAI were included in the study, the mean age was 23.1. All patients had an underlying androgenetic alopecia (AGA) - Hamilton Scale: 17 (58.62%) grade IV, 9 (31.03%) grade V and 3 (10.34%) grade VI. The most common trichoscopic features included short regrowing hair (96.6%), yellow dots (89.7%) and pigtail hair (41.3%) especially seen in the occipital, parietal and frontal regions. A positive pull test with telogen roots was observed in 24.1% of the patients. Histopathological characteristics of AAI in male patients were indistinguishable from previously described features in female patients. All patients were treated with an ultra-potent topical corticosteroid under occlusion and topical 5% minoxidil twice/day or oral minoxidil, remission was established between 4-8 months after treatment initiation.Conclusions: A thorough trichoscopic examination in cases of diffuse hair loss in male patients with AGA refractory to conventional therapy is warranted and trichoscopy-guided biopsy is necessary to confirm the diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":14526,"journal":{"name":"Italian Journal of Dermatology and Venereology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144475159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
