Nowadays, scientific journals plays a big role in displaying the growth in scientific fields. It functions as a media between researchers and readers, to deliver the outcome of a research.

Berkala Ilmu Kesehatan Kulit dan Kelamin (BIKKK) was first published in August 9th, 1989 by Department/Functional Medical Staff Dermatovenereology of the Faculty of Medicine, Airlangga University - Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Surabaya.

For more than 30 years, BIKKK has been consistently releasing issues every 4 months, with articles encompassing a variety of topics in Dermatovenereology. At first, BIKKK serve as a platform for the staff and residents of Department/Functional Medical Staff Dermatovenereology of the Faculty of Medicine, Airlangga University - Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Surabaya to publish their internal reports and cases. As time went by, it has transformed and broadened its scope, receiving articles from the external parts, but still focusing on the field of Dermatovenereology.

Since 2014, BIKKK has changed it's title to "BIKKK, Berkala Ilmu Kesehatan Kulit dan Kelamin Periodical of Dermatology and Venereology". This abbreviation is intended for the publication to be more internationally acknowledged, and providing an easier way for researchers to cite the journal.
