Abstract Background Over time human skin thins and loses elasticity, and topical treatments attempt to reverse this process. Objectives Assess the efficacy of TransFORM Body Treatment (TFB) in skin rejuvenation compared to a bland moisturizer on the extensor and volar forearms. Methods Blinded participants were given two products to apply on the designated forearms with follow-up at 4, 8 and 12 weeks. Measurements included skin thickness, photography, dermatopathology, cutaneous elasticity by two separate devices, and patient reported outcomes. All were compared to baseline. Results Change in roughness: extensor -0.09 mm for bland moisturizer and -0.26 mm for TFB (P = 0.174); volar 0.01mm for bland moisturizer and -0.23 mm for TFB (P = 0.004). Change in recoil velocity: volar -56 degree/s for bland moisturizer and -24 degree/s for TFB (p = 0.61); extensor -95 degree/s for bland moisturizer and -63 degree/s for TFB (p = 0.57). Change in retraction speed: volar -3.25 ms for bland moisturizer and -20.08 ms for TFB (p = 0.33); extensor -2.17 ms for bland moisturizer and -10.83 ms for TFB (p = 0.66). Histology: TFB showed an increase in mucopolysaccharide content, new collagen and increase in elastin fibers in the papillary dermis. Change in Rao-Goldman score: volar -0.17 for bland moisturizer and -0.33 for TFB (p = 0.25); extensor -0.08 for bland moisturizer and -0.17 for TFB (p = 0.36). Conclusions Histology showed production of new collagen and elastin. Quantification of changes using skin thickness, skin retraction speed and skin recoil velocity showed trends that agree with the visual data.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> The International Dermatology Outcome Measures (IDEOM) initiative is a non-profit organization that aims to develop evidence-based outcome measurements to evaluate the impact of treatments for patients with dermatological disease. IDEOM includes all key stakeholders in dermatology (patient, physician, industry, insurer, and government) during the process of developing such outcome measurements. <b><i>Summary:</i></b> Here, we provide an update of IDEOM activities that were presented at the 2020 IDEOM Virtual Annual Meeting (October 23–24, 2020). During the meeting, multiple IDEOM workgroups (psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, hidradenitis suppurativa, acne, pyoderma gangrenosum, and actinic keratosis) shared their progress to date, as well as future directions in developing and validating Patient-Reported Outcome Measures. Updates on demonstrating efficacy in clinicals trials by the US Food and Drug Administration are also summarized. <b><i>Key Messages:</i></b> In this report, we summarize the work presented by each IDEOM workgroup (psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, hidradenitis suppurativa, acne, pyoderma gangrenosum, and actinic keratosis) at the 2020 IDEOM Virtual Annual Meeting.

<p>Ingenol mebutate (IM) was recently introduced for the treatment of actinic keratosis (AK). It is considered a safe and effective treatment in spite of local reactions frequently reported. These reactions may consist of erythema, flaking, crusting, swelling, vesicles and erosions, and would usually spontaneously recede within 20–30 days. We reported a case of a patient affected by multiple actinic keratosis of the scalp treated with IM. The patient reported a severe reaction that was not solved in two months. We decided to treat the reaction with photodynamic therapy and aminolevulinic acid. This treatment was demonstrated to be effective in solving this severe side effect.</p>
