    Introduction: Adult female acne is a chronic condition that significantly impacts quality of life. The content on social media can influence patients perception of their disease and serve as a channel through which they may seek or obtain treatment options. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the impact of social media usage habits on treatment decisions among adult female acne patients. Methods: A cross-sectional, multicenter survey study involved 358 females aged 25 or above, diagnosed with acne. Sociodemographic data were collected, and social media behavior, treatment choices, outcomes, and motivation were explored. Results: Among 358 participants, 95.3% used at least 1 social media platform;72.1% sought acne information online. Top platforms used to seek acne information were Google (75.6%), Instagram (72.3%), YouTube (60%), and TikTok (29.4%). For advice, 67.4% consulted doctor accounts, 53.5% non-medical influencers, 53.5% patient accounts, and 36.1% product promotion accounts. Commonly followed advice included skincare products (88%), dietary changes (42.3%), home remedies (38.8%), exercise (30.3%), topical medications (25.2%), and dietary supplements (17.4%). Notably, 20.9% were willing to alter prescribed treatment by their physician for acne based on social media advice. Patient motivations included quick information access (84.1%) and difficulty in securing dermatologist appointments (54.3%). Conclusions: The study reveals widespread social media use among adult female acne patients, highlighting concerns about potentially misleading information. Dermatologists can enhance the impact of social media by providing reliable sources for patients.

    Successful infliximab treatment in siblings with netherton syndrome: unveiling a novel SPINK5 gene variant and literature review
    (Wiley, 2024) Salıcı, Nazmiye Selin; Özcanlı, Adil; Rasulova, Günel; Başak, Ayşe Nazlı; Tekgül, Şeyma; Vural, Seçil; Koç University Research Center for Translational Medicine (KUTTAM) / Koç Üniversitesi Translasyonel Tıp Araştırma Merkezi (KUTTAM); School of Medicine; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; Koç University Hospital
    Netherton syndrome (NS) is a rare autosomal recessive genodermatosis. In this article, we present two siblings with NS who harbour a novel variant in the SPINK5 gene and were treated with infliximab infusions. Both patients exhibited the characteristic clinical triad of NS, and their whole exome sequencing analysis revealed a homozygous variant, c.1820+53G>A, in the SPINK5 gene. Notably, this is the first documented instance of homozygosity for this particular variant. Despite the absence of a specific treatment, both patients achieved total clearance of the skin lesions, and a significant decrease in total IgE levels was documented.
