New molecularly targeted therapeutics are changing dermatologic therapy. JAK-STAT is an intracellular signaling pathway upon which many different pro-inflammatory signaling pathways converge. Numerous inflammatory dermatoses are driven by soluble inflammatory mediators which rely on JAK-STAT signaling, and inhibition of this pathway using JAK inhibitors may be a useful therapeutic strategy for these diseases. There is growing evidence that JAK inhibitors are efficacious in atopic dermatitis, alopecia areata, psoriasis, and vitiligo. Additional evidence suggests that JAK inhibition may be broadly useful in dermatology, with early reports of efficacy in several other conditions. JAK inhibitors can be administered orally or used topically and represent a promising new class of medications. The use of JAK inhibitors in dermatology is reviewed here.
