Key Points

This research investigates the paradoxical effect of JAK inhibitors leading to acne in dermatological treatments.
Examined patients undergoing treatment with JAK inhibitors for atopic dermatitis and alopecia areata.
Analyzed skin reactions and inflammatory responses associated with these drugs.
Studied the mechanistic pathways contributing to acne development.
Patients treated with JAK inhibitors exhibited a significant increase in acne incidence.
Inflammatory pathways were activated, suggesting a complex relationship between JAK inhibition and acne development.
Findings may influence treatment protocols for patients receiving JAK inhibitors.
