Declining or Waning
- Traditional Pharmacotherapy:
With the rise of biologics and targeted therapies, there has been a noticeable decrease in research focused on traditional systemic treatments like methotrexate and ciclosporin for chronic skin conditions. - Dermatological Surgical Techniques:
While still relevant, the volume of papers focusing on traditional surgical techniques appears to have waned as interest grows in non-invasive and less invasive treatment options. - Basic Science Research:
There seems to be a reduced emphasis on purely basic science studies that do not link directly to clinical outcomes, as the journal increasingly prioritizes translational research. - Aging Skin Research:
Research specifically focused on aging skin, while important, has become less prominent as the field shifts towards targeted therapeutic approaches for specific conditions. - Chronic Inflammatory Skin Diseases:
The focus on chronic inflammatory conditions like eczema and psoriasis is being supplemented with emerging interests in rarer diseases and conditions such as hidradenitis suppurativa.
