    The August 2016 issue of the Australasian Journal of Dermatology included a variety of articles covering topics such as the use of daylight photodynamic therapy for actinic keratoses, determinants of melanoma progression, and challenges in managing mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome. Original research explored the adequacy of patch testing in Australia, pharmacists' knowledge of topical corticosteroids, and the efficacy of air-fluidised beds for toxic epidermal necrolysis. Case reports and small case series addressed issues like allergic contact dermatitis to hair dyes, treatment of notalgia paraesthetica, and the association of seborrhoeic dermatitis with progressive cicatricial alopecia. The journal also featured a longitudinal study on the quality of life improvements in psoriasis patients on biologics and a case-control study on the association between androgenetic alopecia and insulin resistance.
