This study is looking at how a process called angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) plays a role in various skin diseases like port wine stains, rosacea, and psoriasis. Researchers believe that in many skin conditions, there's an increase in factors that promote new blood vessel growth. To understand this better, they will analyze skin tissue samples, either new ones or those already collected. These samples will be checked for markers related to angiogenesis. Some samples may also undergo genetic testing to explore the underlying molecular reasons for these changes. The goal is to identify factors in these skin diseases. You can participate if you are 16 years or older and are willing to have a skin biopsy. The study aims to include 85 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design

This is an observational study, meaning researchers will collect and analyze existing or newly collected skin tissue samples. It is not a treatment study.

What's involved

You would need to be willing to have a skin biopsy. Researchers may also use discarded skin tissue from surgical or biopsy procedures.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Factors in dermatologic diseases will be measured for up to 4 weeks.
