August 2025 in “Indian Dermatology Online Journal” Erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp (EPDS) is a rare condition affecting mainly the elderly, characterized by pustular, crusted lesions leading to scarring alopecia. This case study reports a 65-year-old male with EPDS, presenting with scalp erosions and pustules following minor trauma. Diagnosis was confirmed through clinical examination and histopathology, revealing neutrophil-rich inflammation and fibrosis. Treatment with high-potency topical corticosteroids resulted in significant improvement, though scarring alopecia persisted. EPDS is often underdiagnosed due to its similarity to other conditions, but early recognition and treatment are crucial to prevent permanent alopecia. The study emphasizes the importance of gentle scalp care and protection from trauma and sun exposure.

December 2025 in “Materials Technology” The study successfully engineered an asymmetric poly(L-lactic acid)/gelatin bioscaffold for skin repair, demonstrating its potential for epidermal–dermal regeneration. The scaffold was fabricated using electrospinning techniques and stabilized with genipin cross-linking, resulting in a structure with continuous core–shell fibers and an interconnected nanofibrous network. The scaffold exhibited skin-relevant mechanical properties and controlled hydration, with differential wettability between its components. In vitro tests showed that NIH 3T3 fibroblasts proliferated well and achieved approximately 95% scratch closure within 48 hours on the scaffold. These findings suggest that the genipin-stabilized scaffold is a promising candidate for skin repair applications, with potential for integrated sensing or drug delivery.
