Derms on Drugs

PsA: The Derm Version

Psoriatic arthritis usually gets explained in a way that makes derms want to leave the room. Not this episode. Drs. Zirwas, Ferris, and Patton are joined by double-boarded rheum-derm expert Dr. Saakshi Khattri for a practical, entertaining deep dive into recognizing PsA and making smarter treatment decisions — without the rheumatology overload.

Sunscreen Heresy & Other Hot Takes

This week’s Derms on Drugs is a classic six-pack episode. From cutting-edge CTCL therapies to biologic safety data and the growing world of oral photoprotection, the group covers the studies worth knowing—plus a few opinions spicy enough to start a conference hallway argument.

Steroids, Estrogen & Other Bad Decisions

This week on Derms on Drugs, the gang goes deep into vulvar dermatology with double-boarded derm/OB-GYN expert Dr. Kelly Tyler. From lichen sclerosus and recurrent candidiasis to estrogen, lasers, PRP, and the wildly overmarketed “Mona Lisa” treatments, they they break down what helps, what doesn’t, and what’s probably paying for someone’s boat. Equal parts practical pearls and inappropriate laughter — exactly how medical education should be.

Pick Your Own Treatment Adventure

This week’s Derms on Drugs is a 6-pack that covers a little bit of everything and somehow lands on: just do what you want. From a randomized trial showing eczema doesn’t care how often you shower to wild dupilumab data—plus a heating pad “treatment” that might actually work and a new JAK/TYK2 raising eyebrows—this one is equal parts useful, questionable, and predictably unpredictable.

Regenerative Derm: Baloney or Breakthrough?

Feeling a little worn down by Friday? A bit… degenerated, perhaps? This week’s Derms on Drugs goes off the beaten path and into the world of regenerative dermatology, where the line between legit science and “sounds like a scam” gets… blurry. With guest Dr. Amanda Hill, the team tackles hormones, skin aging, and whether we’re actually regenerating tissue—or just getting better at marketing it. From estrogen myths (and what we got very wrong) to PRP, exosomes, and the truth about “bioidentical” everything, this one separates hype from what might actually matter—and calls out a lot of nonsense along the way.
