Trending and Emerging
- Biologic and Targeted Therapies:
There is a significant rise in research related to biologics and targeted therapies, particularly for conditions like psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, reflecting the shift towards personalized medicine. - Teledermatology and Digital Health:
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated interest in teledermatology, leading to an increase in studies that evaluate the effectiveness and patient satisfaction of remote consultations. - Psychodermatology:
Emerging research focusing on the intersection of dermatology and mental health is gaining traction, exploring how skin conditions affect psychological well-being and vice versa. - Environmental Impacts on Skin Health:
Research addressing the effects of environmental factors, such as pollution and climate change, on skin health is increasingly relevant and is being explored in various studies. - Diversity in Dermatology:

The integration of artificial intelligence in diagnostic processes and treatment planning is a rapidly emerging theme, with studies focusing on its effectiveness and potential to improve patient outcomes.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Treatment Modalities:
Research centered on older treatment methods, such as topical corticosteroids without adjunct therapies, has seen a decline as newer, more effective treatments gain prominence. - Generalized Dermatological Conditions:
There is a noticeable reduction in studies focusing solely on generalized skin conditions without specific demographic or pathophysiological insights, as the field moves towards more targeted and personalized approaches. - Conventional Surgical Techniques:
As minimally invasive and non-surgical options become more prevalent, the publication of studies on traditional surgical techniques, such as excisional biopsies without the use of advanced imaging, has decreased. - Local and Regional Dermatological Issues:
There has been a waning interest in region-specific dermatological issues, particularly those that do not have a significant impact on broader public health or clinical practice. - Aging Skin Research:
While still relevant, the focus on dermatological issues specifically related to aging skin appears to be less emphasized compared to more urgent and emerging dermatological conditions.
