A new global observational study has revealed a continued rise in skin cancer burden among older populations, particularly in high-income countries.

The results revealed that central adiposity, fat concentrated around the waist and abdomen, had the strongest link to psoriasis.

The findings highlight that abobotulinum toxin A and prabotulinum toxin A demonstrated the quickest onset of action.

In this study, researchers examined three international cohorts of patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis undergoing biologic therapy.

Pure atopic dermatitis patients had a significantly higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease compared to those with atopic comorbidities

Young adults (18–29 years) had the highest UV exposure and sunburn rates, and were least likely to use protective clothing.

Interestingly, UVB exposure and topical application of cis-UCA led to changes in the skin’s microbial composition.

Mental health issues such as anxiety and depression are common comorbidities in people with atopic dermatitis.
