In July 2019, several studies were discussed regarding skin, eye, and other problems. The anti-interleukin 4 receptor antagonist dupilumab, used for treating moderate to severe atopic eczema, was found to cause conjunctivitis in about 10% of patients. A large study in France found that 50% of people reported having 'sensitive eyes', with the majority being women, and 18% reported 'sensitive eyelids', with triggers including sun, dust, dry air, or computer work. A South Korean study with 188 volunteers found a significant association between exposure to fine particles (PM2.5) and the wrinkle index for facial skin. A study from the USA and Canada involving 762 male participants found no measurable effect on libido or other sexual life parameters by use of finasteride, a drug used for treating androgenetic alopecia. Lastly, the article discussed the role of dermatologists in documenting signs of torture on the skin, particularly in refugee populations.
