    Abstract The provision of samples and in-office dispensing of products and medications to patients are important, yet often controversial, practices in dermatology. Opinions on the practices of sampling and in-office dispensing vary greatly among dermatologists. Ultimately, there are several advantages and disadvantages associated with each practice, and common topics of discussion include ethics, costs, safety, and adherence. Many of the concerns associated with the practices of sampling and dispensing in dermatology may be mitigated by careful consideration and action by prescribers. Providers should be aware of their current practices surrounding these issues and, if used, methods by which these practices can be improved to optimize patient care. With careful consideration, it may be possible to practice sampling and dispensing of products and medications safely, ethically, and to the patients' advantage as an integral part of the dermatology practice.

    Abstract Many patients with acne remain unsatisfied with results from the various topical treatments available and often do not improve, because of poor adherence. Even if topical clascoterone, a safe and effective treatment, were more potent than existing topicals, it could face the same poor adherence hurdle as existing treatments. Real-life efficacy will likely not reflect trial results because, for several reasons, adherence is better in trials than in real-life practice. Although topical clascoterone may be exciting initially for its promise to improve acne outcomes, the long-term place in therapy may be another topical option that minimally enhances patients' treatment outcomes.

    Abstract Morgellons disease is characterized by patient reports of fibers embedded in and protruding from the skin. Etiologies from infection to delusion have been endorsed, and treatment guidelines are not well-defined. The objective of this manuscript is to evaluate the existing evidence regarding the etiology and treatment of Morgellons disease in an effort to better inform clinical management. A PubMed search including key words "Morgellons," "delusional parasitosis and fibers," "delusions of parasitosis and fibers," or "delusional infestation and fibers" was completed. Original publications directly assessing etiology or treatment methods of Morgellons disease published between January, 2010 and the time of manuscript preparation were reviewed and evaluated. Sixteen articles regarding etiology were reviewed. All studies were correlative in nature with various limitations. Support for a psychiatric etiology was more widespread than support for an infectious etiology. Eleven articles regarding treatment efficacy were reviewed. Antipsychotic regimens have the most evidence of efficacy. Existing data regarding Morgellons disease suggests a psychiatric etiology and supports treatment with a low-dose antipsychotic agent once non-psychiatric causes have been excluded.

    Abstract Background: Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition with systemic manifestations that have a detrimental impact on a patient's quality of life, affecting social, psychological, and sexual aspects of life. Complete clearance of lesions is a meaningful end goal of treatment; however, it is often difficult for patients to achieve. In this literature review, we summarized past studies that compared patients who achieved complete clearance to those who were almost clear to highlight the effect of complete clearance on psychological distress, social stigma, self-esteem, and interpersonal relationships in adult patients with psoriasis.
    Methods: A literature search was performed through the PubMed database using the keywords "clearance of psoriasis", "complete clearance of psoriasis", "psychological impact psoriasis", "social impact psoriasis", and "stigma of psoriasis". Age (< 18) and language (only articles written in English were included) were the only exclusion criteria to include adult patients only. The information was then collected and evaluated to compare complete clearance and almost complete clearance of psoriasis.
    Results: Of the patients with complete skin clearance (sPGA of 0), 61.4-91.1% reported a Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) of 0, indicating no detectable impact of psoriasis on quality of life, compared to 45.7-48.3% who were almost clear. Patients who were completely clear felt psoriasis had less of an effect on their leisure activities and daily living compared to patients who were almost clear. Patient perceptions of disease severity also differed between the two groups, with the majority (65.5%) of those achieving complete clearance reporting a Psoriasis Symptom Inventory (PSI) of 0, which is consistent with their disease being "not at all severe", compared to 32.6% of those who were almost but not completely clear. While patients with complete clearance achieve a DLQI of 0 at a higher rate than those who have only almost complete clearance, the difference in the mean DLQI between patients with sPGA of 0 (completely clear) and sPGA of 1 (almost clear) is less than the minimal clinically important difference (MCID of 3-5) of the DLQI.
