Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dermatology is one of the largest branches of medicine that includes several features and sub-specializations such as clinical dermatology, paediatric dermatology, allergology and immune dermatology, dermatopathology, dermoscopy, in vivo and ex vivo confocal microscopy, dermatological surgery, onco-dermatology, cutaneous lymphomas, cutaneous metastases, laser treatments, regenerative medicine, trichology, sexually transmitted diseases, infectious diseases, parasitic diseases, and venomous animal bites. Reaching a diagnosis is not always simple, requiring accurate laboratory investigations and cutaneous biopsies and, especially in case of inflammatory diseases, a correct clinical–pathological correlation. Accordingly, accurate therapeutic treatment plays a pivotal role in the therapy of the patients. In recent years, not only has the diagnosis of dermatological pathologies improved by combining clinical, pathological, and biomolecular data; topical, surgical, regenerative, and systemic therapies have also experienced a rapid exponential growth, improving the quality of life of patients and in some cases their life expectancy.
Given the importance of a rapid and correct diagnosis and relative treatments in the field of medicine and research, Medicina is launching this Special Issue, which will consider a wide spectrum of skin pathologies to offer a broad view on this topic and to offer authors greater freedom and the possibility of expressing their scientific results to the international scientific community. We encourage you and your co-workers to submit your articles on this topic. Reviews or original articles dealing with the diagnosis and relative treatment of dermatological conditions are particularly welcome, as are articles reporting evidence and expectations from innovative diagnosis and therapeutics, with special focus on individualized approaches.
