Abstract
Clinical practice guidelines are the most important and valid guidelines for treatment of diseases, and are developed through experts consensus on a subject, considering the highest available evidence (systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and randomized controlled trials). We briefly review the latest evidence-based guidelines for the treatment of two common diseases of acne (provided by European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology) and androgenetic alopecia (provided by German Society of Dermatology).

Abstract
Background and Aim: Vitiligo is an skin condition that results in the skin depigmentation. The implementation of a basal cell layer suspension is a novel treatment in cases with recalcitrant vitiligo. In this study, the efficacy of topical calcipotriol on the implementation site with basal cell layer suspension versus basal cell layer suspension application alone was compared.
Methods: In this randomized, controlled clinical trial, 20 patients with recalcitrant vitiligo were randomly allocated in two 10-patient groups, undergoing the implementation of basal cell layer suspension alone (controls) or along with daily application of topical calcipotriol (intervention group). Results and possible complications were compared between the two groups 6 months after initiation of the treatment.
Results: Six months after initiation of the study, 2 patients (20%) in the control group had poor responses, and 8 patients (80%) had moderate/good responses. In the intervention group, 1 patient (10%) showed poor response, and 9 patients (90%) showed moderate/good responses (P>0.05). Complications were trivial and self-limiting.
Conclusion: Although topical application of calcipotriol did not signigicantly change the primary outcome of the study, it was associated with better results and no major side effects.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Dermatophytoses are the infections caused by the fungi that are capable to invade and multiply within keratinized tissues such as the skin, hair and nails. Topical azoles are considered the first-line treatment in dermatophytosis, but systemic therapy may also be required in some cases. Fungal skin infections have become more common in recent years, and injudicious use of conventional drugs has led to emergence of resistant species. This study compared the therapeutic effects of topical colloidal silver with topical clotrimazole in the treatment of tinea capitis and tinea corporis.
Methods: In this double blind, non-randomized clinical trial, 40 patients with tinea capitis and tinea corporis were allocated into two groups, receiving either topical colloidal silver or topical clotrimazole, twice daily for at least 4 weeks. Systemic antifungals were also administreerd if needed. The response to treatment (negative KOH smear and resolved symptoms) was compared between the two groups at the end of the treatment period.
Results: The mean response time was 5.26±1.56 (range: 3-8) weeks in colloidal silver receivers and 5.00±2.20 (range: 3-12) weeks in the clotrimazole group (P=0.67). The response rates were 84.2% in the topical colloidal silver group, and 90.0% in the topical clotrimazole group (P=0.66). None of the patients experienced a side effect.
Conclusion: Topical colloidal silver may be as effective and safe as topical clotrimazole in patients with tinea capitis and tinea corporis. Further studies with larger sample sizes are recommended.

Abstract
Iranian traditional medicine (ITM) scholars have explained the structure and function of each organ based on clinical observations and past experiences. The skin is especially important due to apparent clinical manifestations serving as a convenient diagnosis tool. This study was aimed to evaluate the anatomy and physiology of the skin as presented in ITM School and compare with conventional medicine. Relevant keywords were searched in ITM reference books, Google scholar, PubMed, and Scopus. After extracting the data, the results were classified in terms of concepts and tables.
ITM scholars believe the embryonic origin of skin is similar to nervous tissue. In their view, the skin has a moderate temperament, and is a combination of fibers, nerve ends, muscles and vessels. Among the most important functions of the skin is the sense of touch, body temperature regulation, and excretion of wastes.
In conventional medicine, the skin consists of epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis layers. The embryonic origin of epidermis is the ectoderm. Protection and body temperature regulation, sensory activities, gas exchange, absorption of ultraviolet rays and disposal of excess body electrolytes are considered as the most important skin functions.
Overview of fetal origin, structure and function of the skin between these two schools of medicine interpreted in many ways, revealed many similarities.

Abstract
The skin is the largest organ of the human body, the first protective barrier of the body and one of the important excretory organs. In conventional medicine, there is great focus on skin rashes to help to diagnose the internal illnesses. Persian medical scholars have also studied a wide range of internal disorders by examining skin manifestations. The aim of this study is to investigate the etiology and semiology of various skin rashes and manifestations from Persian and conventional medicine viewpoints, and to clarify similarities and differences between them. For this purpose data corresponding with key words was extracted from reference books and then relevant scientific databases including Google scholar, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and reliable sources like Janquira histology, Habif and Savin's dermatology books were examined. An overview of the cutaneous rash and diseases, revealed that in many cases, these two schools of medicine are not comparable. However, in some cases, such as etiology, description, clinical signs, diagnosis, etc., serious similarities in topic of rashes, skin manifestations and chronic diseases are mentioned in the overview of this two medical schools.
