GLP-1 receptor agonists show promise in treating hidradenitis suppurativa, offering significant symptom relief and improved quality of life for patients.

Dupixent shows potential as a treatment for atopic dermatitis, alopecia and vitiligo, targeting shared immune pathways for improved skin health.

Hidradenitis suppurativa patients face higher depression and anxiety risks, but biologic treatments may reduce these mental health challenges.

Frequent flares in atopic dermatitis predict future disease severity, highlighting the need for improved treatment strategies, as found in a new study published in JAMA Dermatology.

AD and psoriasis were once thought to be opposites in terms of immune response, with AD linked to a Th2-dominant pathway and psoriasis driven by Th17 inflammation. However, newer research has shown that these diseases can overlap in patients and may even share common pathways.

Climate change and air pollution are growing threats to public health, and new research suggests they may also worsen atopic dermatitis (AD), the most common chronic inflammatory skin condition, affecting up to 15% of people worldwide.

This approval marks the eighth disease indication for Dupixent as a new alternative for patients—many of whom are elderly and have limited treatment options.

In a national study of 55 million children and teens across the U.S., there were 1,240 confirmed cases of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). Nearly all were aged 10 or older.

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most common form of skin cancer. While most cases are treatable, a small number can become serious and spread, leading to worse outcomes.

Treating hidradenitis suppurativa is complex and often requires taking a number of medications, including antibiotics, hormone therapies and immunosuppressants. However, many of these treatments are used off-label, and at this time, only two biologic therapies—Humira (adalimumab) and Cosentyx (secukinumab)— are approved by the FDA for HS treatment.
