In Episode 32 of Derms and Conditions, our host James Q. Del Rosso, DO, chats with Brad P. Glick, DO, MPH, the residency program director at Larkin Palm Springs in Miami. Dr. Glick and Dr. Del Rosso discuss the advantages of topical therapies and their pivotal role in managing chronic diseases, even in the setting of significant advances in targeted systemic therapy. Dr. Glick emphasizes that the adjunctive use of topical and systemic therapies is key to obtaining and maintaining clearance. 

Next, they discuss the new combination of betamethasone dipropionate and calcipotriene cream and the unique formulation used to deliver the two very different medications effectively and synergistically. 

Finally, Dr. Glick weighs in on the age-old debate: New York or Chicago-style pizza? You've got to hear this!
