Several studies have shown an association of acne vulgaris with depression and anxiety, but a quantitative review has not yet been conducted. ⋯ Because of an increased risk for depression and anxiety, clinicians should pursue aggressive treatment of acne and consider psychiatric screening or referrals.

Review Meta AnalysisThe association of indoor tanning and melanoma in adults: systematic review and meta-analysis.
Tanning beds are associated with increased risk of melanoma. ⋯ Using tanning beds is associated with a subsequent melanoma diagnosis. Exposure from more than 10 tanning sessions is most strongly associated and there was no statistically significant difference in this association before and after 2000, suggesting that newer tanning technology is not safer than older models.

Review Multicenter Study Meta Analysis Comparative StudyA systematic review of clinical trials of treatments for the congenital ichthyoses, excluding ichthyosis vulgaris.
The ichthyoses comprise a group of inherited disorders of keratinization. Because of the need for lifelong treatment, it is important that therapies are beneficial, safe, and well tolerated. ⋯ Topical treatments including emollients, calcipotriol ointment, and liarozole cream seem to have therapeutic benefit and a good safety profile, although the use of topical calcipotriol is limited by a maximum weekly dose of 100 g. The advantage of oral liarozole over acitretin is uncertain. Multicenter trials comparing oral and topical interventions and evaluation of long-term outcomes are needed.
