Chronicles of A.I. Pospelov Moscow Society of Dermatovenerologists and Cosmetologists (MSDС, founded on October 4, 1891). MSDС Bulletin No. 1163

On May 16, 2025, the 1163^rd meeting of the A.I. Pospelov Moscow Society of Dermatovenerologists and Cosmetologists was held. The physical meeting was held at the President Hotel (24 Bolshaya Yakimanka Street) as part of the 42nd International Rakhmanov Research-to-Practice Conference. A total of 68 participants attended. Two physicians from private esthetic medicine clinics in Moscow applied for membership in the A.I. Pospelov Moscow Society of Dermatovenerologists and Cosmetologists.

Two reports were presented during the clinical part of the meeting: on polypharmacy-induced toxic epidermal necrolysis and on diagnostic errors in pyoderma gangrenosum. Both reports were presented by researchers from Sechenov University. The first report discussed a clinical case of toxic epidermal necrolysis in a 63-year-old female patient. The condition was likely induced by an antipsychotic agent. During therapy, the patient developed eczema herpeticum. Timely treatment with adequate doses of systemic glucocorticoids and corrective therapy enabled saving the patient’s life. The second report addressed diagnostic challenges in pyoderma gangrenosum. To effectively treat ulcerative pyoderma gangrenosum in a 57-year-old patient, prednisolone therapy in combination with azathioprine and fluconazole was used.

The scientific part of the meeting began with a report on the potential applications of intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy. According to the reporter’s extensive clinical experience, IPL therapy is beneficial in the majority of cases, despite differences in the pathogenesis of skin inflammation in various disorders.

Furthermore, a report on the advantages of 595 nm yellow dye laser in the treatment of warts, including recurrent ones, was presented. The development of cosmeceuticals under the Dr. Sechenov brand for the prevention of vitiligo and atopic dermatitis was discussed, considering the consistently high prevalence of autoimmune diseases in Russia.
