    Abstract Genital lymphoedema is a rare but debilitating and disfiguring complication of longstanding hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). Despite the existence of medical and surgical methods that offer varying success rates in a limited number of cases, no data exist about the use of complex decongestive therapy (CDT) in HS-related genital lymphoedema. This case report describes the treatment and outcome of a 56-year-old male patient with severe scrotal lymphoedema due to underlying HS (Hurley stage 3). The patient was unresponsive to various topical and systemic antibiotics and biological agents, including adalimumab and certolizumab pegol. When the patient was assessed, ixekizumab treatment for his HS was planned. He had progressive oedema in the genital area for two years with difficulty in wearing trousers and having sexual intercourse, and painful urination. CDT was recommended for three days a week concurrently with ixekizumab treatment. The patient and his wife were also educated about self-drainage techniques and skincare maintenance. After six sessions of CDT over 14 days, the patient demonstrated a significant reduction in scrotal measurements. He achieved a better scrotal contour, the degree of the buried penis was decreased, and urination was easier and painless. The findings of this case report showed that CDT was an easily applicable, practical and promising method that offered a rapid treatment response for HS-related genital lymphoedema.

    Abstract Background: To evaluate the outcomes of a heterogeneous group of patients with chronic ulcer receiving a combination regimen of full-field and fractional erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (erbium: YAG) laser applications.
    Methods: Enrolled in this study were patients with chronic ulcer who had received at least 2 erbium: YAG laser sessions. Fractional applications followed the initial full-field application for debridement. The therapeutic outcomes were evaluated by serial photographs. The primary outcome measure was the proportion of patients achieving complete re-epithelialization at the first year.
    Results: Forty-three treatment regions from 23 patients between 40 and 90 years (F: M = 11:12; age: 60.3 ± 15.5 years, mean ± SD) were eligible. The ulcers' median duration was 24 months (min-max: 2-240 months). The median number of laser sessions was 5 (min-max: 2-12). Of arterial (n = 13), immunologic (n = 9), venous (n = 8), diabetic (n = 8), and mechanical ulcers (n = 5), the primary outcome measure was achieved in 69%, 77.7%, 75%, 88.8%, and 100% of the groups, respectively.
    Conclusion: Full-field erbium: YAG laser applications preserve the vascular architecture and enable delicate debridement. Ongoing maintenance fractional laser sessions promote wound healing. Similar to the previous reports of erbium: YAG laser in venous and diabetic ulcers, arterial ulcers, and ulcers of immunologic origin demonstrated an objective treatment response along with different adjuvant approaches.

    Abstract Introduction: Although adalimumab is the only approved biologic for the treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), the treatment response may not be satisfactory in all patients. Recently, many other biological agents, including interleukin 17 inhibitors such as ixekizumab, have shown promise.
    Case presentations: Five severe HS (Hurley stage III) patients resistant to conventional treatments and adalimumab for at least 3 months were recruited. Patients were prescribed ixekizumab with a scheme approved for psoriasis (160 mg once, followed by 80 mg at weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12.) The primary outcome measure was achieving the Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response (HiSCR) score following 12 weeks. Secondary outcome measures included the patient-reported Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and visual analog scale (VAS). Four of 5 patients (80%) achieved HiSCR. While improvement was observed in the VAS and DLQI scores of 4 patients, the decline was limited in 1 patient. No adverse event was recorded related to ixekizumab.
    Conclusion: The result of our observation suggests that ixekizumab may be effective for HS, especially in challenging cases.

    Abstract Tranexamic acid (TA) emerged as a promising agent for melasma. However, due to its hydrophilic structure, topical TA should be combined with a penetration-enhancing strategy to augment efficacy. To evaluate the efficacy of fractional erbium:YAG laser-assisted delivery (LAD) of topical TA 5% either with or without oral TA treatment in recalcitrant melasma patients. The authors retrospectively assessed the treatment outcomes of melasma patients treated by fractional erbium:YAG LAD of topical TA 5%. Patients receiving a standard protocol including four biweekly laser sessions were eligible. The study included two groups: group 1 patients received oral TA and LAD of topical TA 5%, and group 2 patients received only LAD of topical TA 5%. Two blinded dermatologists reported pre-treatment and post-treatment modified MASI (mMASI) scores. Mean mMASI scores in both group 1 (n = 15) and group 2 (n = 19) were significantly lower at the end of the treatment than baseline values (p = 0.001; p = 0.022, respectively). The decrease of mMASI scores were higher in group 1 (median = 2.1) (64.7%) than in group 2 (median = 1.2) (41.8%) (p = 0.027). Fractional erbium:YAG LAD of topical TA 5% is an efficient treatment regimen for melasma patients recalcitrant to conventional treatment approaches. The implementation of oral TA to this regimen improves the therapeutic outcomes.

    Abstract Background: Exosomes, as a family member of extracellular vesicles, are cell-secreted nanoscale structures that play pivotal roles in regulating physiological and pathophysiological processes of the skin. Exosomes induce communication between cells and are responsible for transporting cellular components such as microRNAs, mRNAs, DNA, lipids, metabolites, and cell-surface proteins. Numerous preclinical and clinical trials searched the contribution of exosomes to skin functions and disorders. Thus, exosomes are gaining increasing attention within investigational dermatology. In advance, stem-cell-derived exosomes were integrated into the functional cosmetics industry nominated as cell-free regenerative medicine.
    Objective: This review aims to demonstrate the roles of exosomes in inflammatory skin disorders, stem cell, and tumor biology through a comprehensive evaluation of the diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic perspectives.
    Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed using electronic online databases "PubMed" and "Google Scholar" using key words ''exosomes'', ''skin'', ''wound healing''.
    Conclusion: Exosomes are regarded as promising diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for various skin diseases. Future prospects are repurposing exosomes to treat skin disorders, either as drug carriers or drugs themselves.
