In this episode of the EADV Podcast, Dr. Sarah Walsh is joined by Dr. Saskia Oro (Henri Mondor Hospital, Paris) and Dr. Emmanuel Contassot (University of Basel) to mark the launch of the new EADV CARD-EM Task Force. The conversation opens with the newly published European expert consensus on the diagnosis and management of acute generalised exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), including how to identify severe cases and when oral corticosteroids are warranted over topical treatment. They go on to discuss the allergological work-up for AGEP, including patch testing and lymphocyte transformation tests, and the underlying immunology: Dr. Contassot's research showing that IL-36 and an innate immune pathway, rather than T cells alone, help drive the pustules seen in AGEP. The conversation then turns to epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN), covering recent research into the roles of macrophages, dendritic cells and IL-33 in disease progression, and what these findings could mean for the field's first targeted therapies. The episode closes by looking at the long-term impact of SJS/TEN on survivors, drawing on a 2023 Delphi consensus on managing post-acute sequelae and a patient cohort study, both of which point to the same conclusion: the physical and psychological consequences of these diseases can last for decades, and patients need ongoing, multidisciplinary support long after the acute phase has passed.   References: AGEP European Expert Consensus (2024) Tetart F, Walsh S, Milpied B, et al.

In this episode of the EADV Podcast, held on behalf of the EADV Melanoma Task Force, Prof. Monika Arenbergerova is joined by Prof. Zoe Apalla and Prof. Aimilios Lallas to discuss the central role dermoscopy continues to play in melanoma diagnosis. The conversation opens with the newly published International Dermoscopy Society consensus recommendations for the management of lentigo maligna, exploring how dermoscopy and reflectance confocal microscopy guide diagnosis, lesion mapping, and monitoring of treatments such as topical immunotherapy alongside surgery. Together, they discuss the drivers behind melanoma's rising global incidence, striking differences in incidence and access to care across regions, and practical advice for clinicians building their dermoscopy skills, including the common pitfalls facing young dermatologists. The conversation also touches on how AI-powered digital biomarkers build on dermoscopy to help predict prognosis, and how each guest weighs sensitivity against specificity when deciding whether to biopsy. The episode closes with both speakers agreeing on what matters most for improving outcomes: faster access to specialists and earlier diagnosis of melanoma.   References: International Dermoscopy Society Consensus Recommendations for the Management of Lentigo Maligna (2026) Forsea AM, et al.

In this episode of the EADV Podcast, Prof. Michela Starace, Chair of the EADV Hair Diseases Task Force, is joined by Task Force Co-Chairs Prof. Alexander Katoulis and Dr. Matilde Iorizzo to discuss current perspectives on scarring alopecias and the challenges of diagnosis and management. The conversation explores the relationship between lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia, highlighting ongoing debates around their classification, clinical presentation, and treatment approaches. The speakers also discuss the value of trichoscopy in everyday practice, the importance of early recognition of inflammatory activity, and the role of consensus-driven guidance in supporting clinicians faced with complex cases. Looking ahead, the experts examine emerging therapeutic strategies, including the potential role of JAK inhibitors, while reflecting on the need for further evidence and long-term data. The episode highlights the importance of recognising the emotional and psychosocial impact of hair disorders, while encouraging clinicians to adopt a patient-centred approach to care. Through practical insights, shared experiences, and discussion of emerging developments, the speakers underline the value of education, collaboration, and empathy in improving outcomes for people living with alopecia and other hair diseases.

In this special Pride Month episode of the EADV Podcast, Dr. Tiago Matos and Prof. Myrto Trakatelli explore why inclusion, visibility, and affirming care matter in dermatology and venereology today more than ever. Through an open and honest conversation, they discuss how everyday clinical interactions, communication, and representation can directly influence patient trust, healthcare access, and long-term outcomes for LGBTQI+ communities. From creating safer consultation spaces to recognising unconscious bias and improving medical education, the speakers reflect on the responsibility healthcare professionals have in delivering truly patient-centred care. The discussion also highlights the importance of allyship, empathy, and visibility in helping patients feel seen, respected, and supported throughout their healthcare journey. This episode highlights the value of honesty, vulnerability, and allyship in medicine, while encouraging healthcare professionals to create safer and more welcoming environments for every patient. A thoughtful discussion on representation, education, and the human side of dermatological and venereological care.

In this episode of the EADV Podcast, Dr. Antonio Torrelo speaks with Dr. Andrea Diociaiuti, contributor to the recent JEACP Special issue on cutaneous mosaicism, to explore one of the most fascinating concepts in dermatology and genetics. Together, they discuss how mosaicism shapes the skin, the clinical patterns that help physicians recognise these conditions, and how advances in genetic sequencing are transforming diagnosis and patient care. The conversation also delves into the broader implications of mosaicism beyond the skin, the importance of careful clinical observation, and the increasing potential of precision medicine and targeted therapies. This episode offers listeners an accessible and forward-looking overview of a rapidly evolving field that is changing the way dermatologists understand genetics, skin biology, and personalised medicine.   Read the Special Issue: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/27686566/2025/4/3
