    Abstract Background: Acne has a high impact on patients being a chronic, common, and visible skin condition. Knowledge regarding treatment improves outcomes. The Cardiff Acne Disability Index (CADI) is commonly used in clinical practice for quality-of-life assessment. It has been validated in many languages, however, not in Romanian.
    Aims: To validate the Romanian adaptation of the CADI and educational materials for acne patients.
    Patients and method: A 12-week prospective cross-sectional Web-based study, including 3rd- to 5th-year medical students attending our university was conducted. We obtained permission from the CADI copyright owner and performed the steps of the standardized translation process. The Romanian CADI adaptation was delivered online in a test-retest setup, during which participants were offered acne educational materials and completed a knowledge evaluation questionnaire.
    Results: A total of 95 complete answers were analyzed. The Romanian CADI adaptation showed good internal consistency, with Cronbach's α = 0.807 in the first application and Cronbach's α = 0.839 in the second. High test-retest reliability was observed, with interclass correlation coefficient ICC = 0.987 and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient r
    Conclusion: Romanian acne patients can benefit from CADI, a reliable and disease-specific tool for quality-of-life evaluation, together with validated, guideline-aligned educational material in their language.

    Abstract The medical face mask, widely used by health care providers (HCPs) during the COVID-19 pandemic, is reported to be associated with adverse reactions, among which acne is one of the most common. This study aims to evaluate treatment strategies employed by HCPs affected by acne in association with prolonged medical face mask use, their openness towards accessing telemedicine as a patient, and other lifestyle factors with potential influence on the evolution of their acne. Our online-based cross-sectional survey was distributed between December 17, 2020, and February 17, 2021, and targeted HCPs from different medical centers in Romania. From the n = 134 respondents, 50% reported current acne lesions and 56.7% required treatment. Of the latter, 65.8% self-medicated and 34.2% sought medical advice. The most common treatment associations between anti-acne topical products were: retinoids and salicylic acid (18.18%; n = 8), retinoids and benzoyl peroxide (13.64%; n = 6), salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide (13.64%; n = 6), and azelaic acid together with salicylic acid (9.09%; n = 4). The health care provider responders were reluctant to use telemedicine, as only 14.2% participants were open to telemedicine. Our results suggest inadequate management of acne in HCPs using medical face masks. As with other occupational hazards and proper usage of personal protective equipment, HCPs should receive adequate screening, training, and treatment for this condition.

    Title translation The most common benign cutaneous neoplasms of the epidermis and appendages and their treatment.
    Abstract Benign cutaneous neoplasms are well defined histologically with absence of all of the following features: architectural disorder, necrosis, cytologic atypia, and atypical mitotic figures. The clinical appearance of any neoplasm is a very important diagnostic factor. The classification of the lesion determines the therapeutic options. This article summarizes the clinical aspects and treatments of the most common benign tumors of the epidermis and its appendages.

    Title translation Benign skin neoplasms in children.
    Abstract There are many different types of skin neoplasms in children and most are benign. Dermatologists should be able to differentiate between the various types of benign skin neoplasms and be able to recommend optimal treatment to concerned patients. Surgical removal of benign skin neoplasms is often the only treatment option. The aim of this paper is to provide a general overview of epidermal lesions (e.g., inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus [ILVEN], nevus sebaceous), tumors of the epidermal appendages (e.g. pilomatrixoma), cutaneous neoplasms (e.g. angiofibroma), fibromatoses (e.g., knuckle pads), tumors comprised of fat, muscle, or bone tissue (e.g., osteoma cutis, subungual exostosis), epidermal cysts and pseudocysts, and pathologic fibrosis reactions after dermal injury (keloid). Scientific data are scarce and only in the last decade has it been possible to perform histopathological examinations and genetic studies together with detailed phenotyping to gain new understanding of the pathogenetic mechanisms.

    Title translation Syndroms associated with benign skin tumors.
    Abstract Benign skin tumors represent a wide category of diseases. The diagnosis is usually provided by the clinical aspect and the patient history. The pathological examination is not always considered necessary and in most cases the treatment is removal of the lesion by cryotherapy, electrosurgery or laser ablation. Deep phenotyping, including genetic and epigenetic findings, provided the basis of a new understanding of the pathogenetic mechanisms. Some benign skin tumors can be part of syndromes and the dermatologist should be aware of the extracutaneous associations defining these rare disorders: epidermal nevus can be associated with vascular malformations; nevus sebaceous can be associated with cerebral, ocular, and skeletal defects; nevus Becker is associated with cerebral, ocular, and skeletal defects; pilomatricomas appear earlier than colorectal cancer in Gardner's syndrome; tuberous sclerosis complex can associate not only central nervous system lesions but also pulmonary, cardiac or renal manifestations.

    Abstract The geographic and ecologic specificity of Romania and other Eastern European countries has resulted in the development of an exceptional diversity of medicinal plants. The purpose of this study was to provide an overview of the ethnobotanical dermatology practices based on the use of medicinal plants in this region. The indications, ethnopharmacologic activities, parts used, and administration of 106 medicinal plants are provided. We also discuss the relative importance of these species, using two modified indices of quantitative ethnobotany: Use Value Index and Relative Dermatologic Importance, which were calculated on the basis of etic constructions (indications and ethnopharmacologic activities). The species identified to have the highest dermatologic importance (on a scale of 100) were Brassica oleracea L. (100), Matricaria chamomilla L. (79.17), Arctium lappa L. (74.82), Daucus carota L. (72.28), Equisetum arvense L. (70.47), Juglans regia L. (69.93), Populous nigra L. (65.94), Symphytum officinale L. (63.59), Chelidonium majus L. (57.78), Calendula officinalis L. (57.78), Achillea millefolium L. (57.43), Melilotus officinalis L. (55.25), Allium cepa L. (51.45), Quercus robur L. (51.08), and Betula spp. (50.91). This preliminary study on ethnobotanical dermatology practices indicates that Eastern European traditional medical knowledge represents an important heritage that is currently underexploited.

    Title translation The most common benign cutaneous neoplasms of vascular, muscular, and adipose tissue and their treatment.
    Abstract Benign cutaneous vascular and cutaneous neoplasms arising from muscle or adipose tissue are rare. Their definition and classification are still controversially discussed. Histopathological and immunohistochemical studies, together with the new genetic tests, contribute significantly to the correct description of the various benign neoplasms of cutaneous origin. Clarifying whether a lesion is benign is fundamental for prognosis and therapeutic management. In most cases, surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Dermatologists should be familiar with the classifications of the most common benign cutaneous neoplasms of vascular, muscular, and adipose tissue and be able to recommend the procedures currently used for an accurate diagnosis. Ensuring that a lesion is benign and a good surgical outcome are essential for the patient.
