Linear dermatoses as a new, fascinating teaching topic with remarkable clinical findings

Conclusion: Linear dermatoses are a well-recognized group of skin diseases that have diagnostic importance and are commonly observed among patients with morphea, including linear morphea (39.20%) and encope de sabre (24.43 %), while linear lichen planus (23.3%) is the second most common cause. Other skin diseases are not common causes of linear fashion.

Conclusion: Oral probiotics may provide modest short-term benefit in mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne and are well tolerated. However, current evidence remains limited by small sample sizes, heterogeneity of probiotic formulations, and short follow-up duration.

Conclusion: Topical KOH demonstrates promising efficacy for the treatment of cutaneous warts and acrochordons, with a favorable outcome observed in the majority of patients in this pilot cohort. These preliminary findings warrant further investigation in larger, randomized controlled trials to definitively establish efficacy, optimal concentration, and long-term safety.

Conclusion: This study shows a significant increase in the incidence of MK over the 30 years of the study, with a predominance of HIV-associated MK. The generalized use of antiretroviral treatment with the «test and treat» strategy will help to reduce this mortality.
