In this episode of Derms and Conditions, our host, James Q. Del Rosso, DO, is joined by April Armstrong, MD, MPH, and David Cohen, MD, MPH, live at Winter Clinical Hawaii 2024 to review highlights from the conference.

The group reviews guidelines for atopic dermatitis and effective therapies like omalizumab and oral antihistamines for chronic spontaneous urticaria and secukinumab for hidradenitis suppurativa, as well as the need to improve outdated clinical guidance in the US. 

Together, they examine the evolving role of artificial intelligence in dermatology and underscore the importance of practitioner well-being. From new therapies to new indications, tune in to hear a poignant analysis of key themes from the meeting this year.
