As people grow older, their skin changes in many ways. It becomes thinner, weaker, and slower to repair itself after injury. Cuts, scrapes, burns, and surgical wounds often take much longer to heal in older adults than in younger people. Slow wound healing can increase the risk of infections, pain, and serious medical complications, especially […] The post New Drug Can Help Older Skin Stay Younge…

Nature Communications, Published online: 13 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-72376-x Here, the authors show that bacteria release immunosuppressive lipopeptides that suppress eczema and may serve as a potential therapy. This activity is independent of toll-like receptor signalling but involves gasdermin D-induced release of IL-33.

BackgroundTripterygium hypoglaucum (H. Lév.) Hutch. (THH) exerts anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects against psoriasis. However, the extent to which and the mechanisms by which it ameliorates psoriasis-like dermatitis through modulation of the gut microbiota-metabolite axis remain unclear.MethodsThis study investigated the therapeutic effects and underlying mechanisms of THH in a muri…

Nature Communications, Published online: 11 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-72720-1 Skin lesions are common manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Here, the authors present a spatial transcriptomic atlas of lesional skin from patients with lupus and identify an acute inflammatory signature in SLE, contrasting with chronic damage in tertiary lymphoid structures in discoid lupus.

Beauty products have never been more advanced. But as people layer them up, experts have seen a rise in perioral dermatitis. What is the too-much-skincare rash, and what can you do about it? It often starts innocuously: a small cluster of spots around the mouth, easily dismissed as a hormonal breakout or a reaction to something you have eaten. But this is how perioral dermatitis shows up – quietl…

New research from the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences provides evidence that sensitive skin syndrome (SSS) is biologically distinct from rosacea, helping clarify a long-standing debate in dermatology and potentially guiding more targeted treatment approaches.

IntroductionAtopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by immune dysregulation, impaired epidermal barrier function, and recurrent episodes of itching and inflammation. Emerging evidence suggests that skin-resident microbiota influence host immune responses and may modulate AD pathogenesis. Here, we investigated the anti-inflammatory, barrier-restoring, and neuro…

Psoriasis is a long-term skin condition that affects millions of people around the world. It causes red, dry, and scaly patches on the skin that can be itchy or even painful. These patches often appear on the elbows, knees, scalp, and back, but they can show up anywhere on the body. Although psoriasis is not […] The post Blood pressure drugs may increase risk of this skin disease appeared first o…

A newly identified brain–immune connection suggests stress may directly amplify skin inflammation through targeted cellular signaling. Psychological stress has long been blamed for making eczema worse, but the biological link has been hard to pin down. New research now traces that connection to a brain-to-skin signaling route that appears to intensify inflammation by directing nerve [...]

You'll have some redness and swelling. You may also experience itching or stinging for a few days after the procedure. Depending on the treatment, some people may have what looks like a severe sunburn. The s…
