High D, Low Certainty

2026/10/23

The Derms size up high-dose vitamin D, a head-to-head lichen planus trial, and whether contact dermatitis testing is overcalling the culprit.

Custom Shots and Drug Cocktails

2026/10/16

The Derms question treatment monogamy: a personalized melanoma vaccine joins forces with immunotherapy, while dual therapy takes on refractory HS and AD.

AI Crosses the Prescription Line

2026/10/09

In Utah, AI is getting its hands on the prescription pad—starting with topical acne treatment. The Derms grill Nolla’s CEO on the big questions: Who catches the misses, and is this better access or the beginning of the robot takeover?

The Goldilocks Biologic

2026/10/05

Dr. Steve Daveluy makes the case that Cosentyx is the “just right” first biologic for HS—but not every Derm is ready to move past TNFs. Durability, infection risk, IBD, and insurance all enter the argument.

Tiny Vesicles, Big Claims

2026/10/02

Exosomes may be real science, but the marketing has sprinted miles ahead of the data. The Derms dig into their promise for burns and epidermolysis bullosa—and why that pricey cosmetic vial may not contain what it claims.

Cuts, Switches, and Eight Extra Hairs

2026/09/25

Three papers, three practical questions: Who really needs antibiotics before derm surgery? What comes after an AD drug fails? And does taking oral minoxidil in the morning actually grow more hair—or just raise more eyebrows?

Blood, Sweat, and Hives

2026/09/22

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?

Paging Dr. Telederm

2026/09/18

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.

Tregs, Tape, and Tresses

2026/09/11

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.

Don’t Wait for the Tunnels

2026/09/08

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 Me If You Can

2026/09/04

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.

The Clot Thickens

2026/08/28

Three papers, three plot twists: new HS data that underwhelm on paper, a transected melanoma that may not need a sentinel node, and a possible explanation for why JAK clot risk may depend on the disease.

The Long and Short of Male Genital Disease

2026/08/21

Male genital disease expert Dr. Christopher Bunker joins the Derms for the penis episode no one else was brave enough to make. Lichen sclerosus, circumcision, penile cancer—and one diagnosis he says doesn’t exist—are all on the table.

Three Sheets to Tofa

2026/08/14

The Derms debut a shorter format with three papers and one newly dirt-cheap drug: generic tofacitinib. The safety, the risks, and the practicalities—right down to getting it for just $25 a month.

Creams, Screams, and Measles

2026/08/07

Pediatric dermatology legend Dr. Sheila Fallon Friedlander joins the Derms to sort through the new topical “Goldilocks” problem, take the sting out of Dupixent injections, and make the case for treating molluscum sooner. Plus, how to recognize measles—and why its most frightening complication may not appear for years.
