Introduction: Psoriasis (PSO) and atopic dermatitis (AD) have traditionally been considered distinct diseases, respectively, mediated by T-helper 1 (Th1) and the T-helper 2 (Th2) immune pathway. In recent years, there has been a growing body of evidence highlighting an overlap between the two conditions, such as Asian AD, pediatric PSO, or “psoriasis dermatitis/PSOREMA”. Moreover, psoriasis dermatitis can be induced by therapeutic interventions. For instance, anti-IL-4/IL-13 monoclonal antibodies, commonly used to treat AD, can induce psoriasiform reactions by inhibiting the Th2 pathway, thereby unmasking Th1/Th17-driven PSO. Conversely, anti-TNFα and anti-IL-17 therapies, effective for PSO, may induce eczematous reactions promoting a switch toward Th2-driven inflammation. Janus Kinase Inhibitors (JAK-i) and IL-23 antagonists may represent valid therapeutic options for managing psoriasis dermatitis. JAK-i exert broader immunomodulatory effects, inhibiting both Th1 and Th2 pathways; however, they require careful monitoring due to potential adverse events. In contrast, IL-23 antagonists specifically suppress the IL-23/IL-17 axis inhibiting the p19 subunit of IL-23 and could represent a safer option for patients with psoriasis dermatitis. Materials and Methods/Results: We present a series of five cases of psoriasis dermatitis, including both patients who had the condition from the onset and those who developed it during treatment, with tailored therapeutic strategies based on individual patient profiles, comorbidities, and the specific characteristics of their overlapping disease presentation. Conclusion: JAK-i and IL-23 antagonists are both valid therapeutic options for managing psoriasis dermatitis, but with different immunomodulatory effects and safety profiles. Future research should focus on a better understanding of the immune pathway and identifying specific biomarkers of psoriasis dermatitis, to optimize therapeutic strategies.

General practitioners play a crucial role in the early detection and prevention of cutaneous melanoma. However, structured training on skin cancer diagnosis and management is often lacking. This narrative review aims to map the current educational interventions for general practitioners focused on melanoma, assess their methodological approaches and outcomes, and explore the contribution of e-learning and telemedicine in medical education. A comprehensive literature search identified 54 relevant studies published between 1 January 1995 and 31 December 2024. Data were extracted and categorized by topics covered, training methodology, interactivity, and clinical outcomes. Training programs varied widely in duration, delivery, and content. Interventions that integrated dermoscopy and interactive methodologies demonstrated improved diagnostic accuracy and clinical impact. E-learning, particularly asynchronous models, emerged as a flexible and effective modality, although few studies evaluated long-term retention or clinical practice changes. Educational programs tailored to general practitioners and enriched with dermoscopy and telemedicine tools show promise in improving melanoma detection and care. Structured, interactive, and blended/hybrid learning models should be prioritized to support effective primary and secondary prevention.
