    TLDR Prednisone has risks for lupus patients, isotretinoin is safe for mental health, transplant patients risk skin cancer, and various treatments are effective for specific skin conditions.
    The document reviewed various dermatological topics, highlighting key findings and treatments. Long-term prednisone therapy in systemic lupus erythematosus posed significant risks, while isotretinoin was not linked to psychiatric disorders. Organ transplant recipients had a higher risk of non-melanoma skin cancer. IFN-a2a was effective for Behcet's disease, and oral terbinafine was suitable for elderly toenail onychomycosis patients. Photodynamic therapy showed promise, and intradermal botulinum toxin A was effective for severe axillary hyperhidrosis. Liposuction provided physical and psychological benefits, and intense pulsed light treatments were effective for skin rejuvenation. The document also noted the need for standardized protocols in atopic dermatitis and highlighted the potential of new antiangiogenic therapies in wound healing.
