Derms on Drugs

Dr. Marc Serota makes the case for targeted lab testing in CSU—but the Derms worry it may open a can of worms. The Chronic Urticaria Index gets a closer look, shotgun allergy panels get nowhere—but does he convince the Derms?

After 70,000 virtual consults, Dr. Joe English knows what a photo can—and can’t—tell you. He joins the Derms to talk diagnostic curveballs, hospital saves, and bringing dermatology where there’s no dermatologist in sight.

Three papers, three very different reactions: a Treg-boosting AD drug that may be too clever for its own good, a Steri-Strip trick you can use tomorrow, and Rinvoq alopecia data that have the Derms calling game changer.

Convince the Derms on Drugs makes its debut with Dr. Christopher Sayed making the case for earlier systemic treatment in HS. Can he convince the Derms to act before recurring lesions become tunnels, scars, and damage no medication can undo?

Patch first or treat first? The Hamann brothers join the Derms to tackle mystery dermatitis, questionable allergens, wet wraps, hand eczema—and why the answer may be hiding in your patient’s shampoo.
