[Biologics in skin diseases other than psoriasis].
Psoriasis is the only disease in dermatology where biologics have been studied in placebo controlled trials. However, drugs have been used for several other indications in dermatology, e.g. pyoderma gangrenosum and pemphigus. We give a brief overview of the indications for biologics in skin diseases.
