The nomenclature system agreed upon by the Chapel Hill Consensus Conference (CHCC) with respect to the terminology and precise definition of the various types of vasculitis has gained widespread interdisciplinary and international acceptance. As the revised version from 2012 (CHCC 2012) does not address the special features of vasculitis of the skin, it has recently been supplemented with an addendum containing the nomenclature of cutaneous vasculitides (D-CHCC). The present article provides the German translation of the terms and defintions of the D-CHCC as well as additional explanatory comments. Read More

Afamelanotide, an α-melanocyte stimulating hormone analogue, has become an emerging therapeutic option for a variety of skin conditions previously refractory to other treatments. Its efficacy has been demonstrated in several dermatologic conditions, including erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP), solar urticaria, polymorphic light eruption (PMLE), vitiligo, acne, and Hailey-Hailey disease. Its relatively low risk side effect profile makes it an attractive treatment option and also paves the way for innovative use in other disorders. Read More

Dermatologists were the pioneers in the development of laser technology and have the most experience using these lasers to treat the external genitalia for many cutaneous disorders. Dermatologists who have experience and expertise using lasers and devices, are already using them to treat the external genitalia, and are comfortable performing female gynecologic exams may want to explore the wide range of options that are available to treat the functional and aesthetic needs of the female population. Dermatologists should work with obstetricians and gynecologists to ensure that patients are proper candidates for the procedures. Read More
