Dr. Pamela Figueroa explains why getting tattoos does not cure psoriasis. She clarifies that, due to the Koebner phenomenon, microtraumas like tattoos can trigger and reproduce the dermatosis on affected skin.

Pigmentary disorders such as melasma and vitiligo have a visible effect on people's appearance, impacting their self-esteem and social relationships.
A comprehensive, individualized and innovative treatment, focused on the patient's characteristics and considering the impact of the skin condition on their daily life, can provide these patients with promising solutions.

This video looks at the circadian rhythm of the skin and how chronodisruption affects its functions. It explores the circadian behaviour of the different skin layers and highlights the complexity of the skin, with multiple circadian clocks in its structures. Despite advances, a thorough understanding of the optical properties of skin layers and the impact of skin appendages is still lacking. Disruption of circadian cycles can accelerate skin ageing and aggravate the symptoms of various pathologies.

This video explores the role of circadian rhythm in various skin diseases, such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. It discusses how circadian cycles influence the pathogenesis of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis symptoms, such as pruritus and sleep disturbances, due to an imbalance in melatonin levels. Sleep difficulties in patients with these conditions are highlighted, underlining that a better understanding of the circadian rhythms of the skin may improve the treatment of these pathologies.
