These therapies treat conditions such as atopic dermatitis, hidradenitis suppurativa, prurigo nodularis, molluscum contagiosum, and alopecia areata, among others. Some of these advancements converge dermatology with rheumatology, gastroenterology, and oncology, which continue to transform therapy for patients with multiple diseases.Conclusion This paper provides a comprehensive overview of these developments and their implications for clinical practice.
