In Episode 19 of Derms and Conditions, our host James Q. Del Rosso, DO speaks with David Cohen, MD, MPH and April Armstrong, MD, MPH in front of a live audience during the 2022 Winter Clinical Dermatology Conference from Koloa, Hawaii. Dr. Del Rosso asks his two guests what they thought were the highlights from the many great lectures delivered at this meeting.

Dr. Cohen discusses updates in the treatment of Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria and specifically mentions the use of omalizumab. Dr. Armstrong highlights a new cream based formulation of calcipotriene-betamethasone and two new non-steroidal topical options for the treatment of psoriasis in the pipeline. Dr. Armstrong also highlights pearls from Dr. Kirby's lecture on HS including the use of antibiotics and proper injections techniques for steroids.

The episode ends with Dr. Cohen's discussion of the allergen of the year and Dr. Armstrong's discussion on the use of oral minoxidil in the treatment of hair loss.
