BACKGROUND: For sufficient treatment of patients with chronic inflammatory skin diseases, new concepts need to be established and biomarkers must be identified. OBJECTIVE: Presentation of new markers, their quality and implications for the clinical daily routine. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This article presents a discussion of basic research and a review of current achievements of personalized medicine in the area of chronic inflammatory skin diseases. RESULTS: Promising biomarker for the various entities of chronic inflammatory skin diseases have been proposed; however, they need to be prospectively validated and translated into affordable and feasible tests. CONCLUSION: There is still a long way to go to establish personalized medicine in the field of chronic inflammatory skin diseases and its success is dependent on multicenter collaboration to validate and implement novel biomarkers.      «
