Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mastering the Skin Biopsy: Dermpath Insights, CTCL & Tricky Diagnoses with Dr John Griffin
Q: What are some of the core fundamentals you wish every clinician kept top of mind before picking up that biopsy blade?
Key points include visualizing where the pathology is in the tissue, choosing the appropriate biopsy type and ensuring adequate tissue—balancing depth and quantity—to get reliable results, and considering separate samples when a lesion appears heterogeneous to capture all possible processes.
The Magic of Patient Adherence: Nudges, Behavioral Economics, and Habits with Dr Steve Feldman
Q: What role does accountability play in adherence, and how can clinicians implement it?
Accountability is central; establish regular touchpoints, set expectations for follow-up, and use reminders or staff outreach to maintain ongoing engagement with the patient.
Sunscreen Pearls: Practical Counseling Tips for Everyday Dermatology Practice
Q: What is the practical difference between mineral and chemical sunscreens, and why are many products now hybrid?
Minerals reflect UV rays and can leave a white cast, while chemicals absorb UV and convert it to heat; hybrids use both to achieve broad-spectrum protection with better aesthetics and less visible residue, often enabling lower mineral load for better appearance.
Sunscreen Pearls: Practical Counseling Tips for Everyday Dermatology Practice
Q: How do you interpret water-resistance claims and their testing?
Water-resistance is regulated and validated through a whirlpool protocol that simulates swimming and towel-drying to determine how much sunscreen remains on the skin, guiding whether a product is labeled as 40 or 80 minutes.
Sunscreen Pearls: Practical Counseling Tips for Everyday Dermatology Practice
Q: What does 'sensitive skin' on a sunscreen label actually mean?
It's mainly marketing with no regulatory standard; there are no ingredients mandated to be avoided or included for this label, though brands may test products on sensitive-skin panels to ensure broader tolerability.
