Skin disorders and skin cancer encompass the spectrum of cutaneous disease, from inflammatory and infectious conditions to malignant transformation of skin cells. Skin cancer, the most common human malignancy, arises largely from cumulative ultraviolet damage and includes basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma, the last being the most aggressive owing to its metastatic potential. Diagnosis and management draw on dermoscopy, histopathology, photoprotection, topical and procedural therapies, and, for advanced disease, immunotherapies that release checkpoint inhibition. Beyond malignancy, dermatology addresses actinic keratosis as a precancerous lesion, contact hypersensitivity, drug- and corticosteroid-related cutaneous effects, and microbial skin infections. Research in this area examines fractionated laser microporation combined with topical imiquimod for actinic keratosis and basal cell carcinoma, programmed cell death protein-1 blockade for melanoma, pharmacodynamic modeling of sunscreens and sun protection factor, transdermal penetration enhancement, contact allergy, oral lichen planus, and topical-corticosteroid complications. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research on cutaneous oncology, photoprotection and ultraviolet-related injury, dermatologic therapeutics, drug delivery through skin, and the diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory, infectious, and neoplastic skin conditions.
