Treatment of atopic dermatitis has changed dramatically in the biologic era. But even with better therapies, patients often need more support for itch, flares, barrier dysfunction, sleep disruption, and the daily burden of living with AD. In Part 1 of this Topical Conversations miniseries, Cynthia Trickett, MPAS, PA-C, and Peter Lio, MD, open with a practical look at integrative care in atopic dermatitis. As a leading expert in the field, Dr. Lio says it’s about “taking the best of both worlds and putting them together in a coordinated way.” The conversation moves through the pathogenic pillars of AD and where complementary strategies may fit alongside topical therapies, systemic agents, and biologics. Impactful on its own, Part 1 also lays the foundation for deeper dives in Parts 2 and 3. Don’t miss it: https://bit.ly/3SObnzd #TopicalConversations #Dermsquared #Dermatology #AtopicDermatitis

For all the precision isotretinoin demands, one of the hardest parts is knowing when a course is actually done. But as John Barbieri, MD, MBA, reminds us in this episode of The Spot Check, the real endpoint is both more human and more clinical than that. “The goal is to try to achieve a long-term remission of acne and get long-term clearance,” he says. The challenge is getting patients to a high enough cumulative dose to make that likely, without pushing past what they need or what they can tolerate. In part one of this Acne Awareness Month series, Jamie Restivo, PA-C, and Dr. Barbieri get into the details that change how isotretinoin is prescribed and counseled in practice: treatment endpoints, recurrence risk, once-daily dosing, absorption, micronized formulations, omega-3s, antihistamines, and the expectation setting that can make the course feel less mysterious for patients. Clearance is the milestone, and remission is the strategy.
