How many times has a patient asked you whether the potato chips or Hershey bar he ate earlier in the week were the culprits behind his latest acne breakout? Or, maybe your rosacea patient heard that certain supplements would clear her skin overnight.
If you’re like most dermatologists, you routinely get asked these types of questions. To answer them practically and with consideration to the latest research, we have created a new column titled, “Acne & Rosacea: Just the Facts.”
Armed with Answers
This new column, which debuts in this issue on page 22, aims to help dermatologists answer common questions that patients have about acne and rosacea based on what the latest research shows. This month’s column will be authored by Jonette Keri, M.D., Ph.D.
Dr. Keri is Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Dermatology and Cutaneous Surgery at the University of Miami. She’s also the Chief of Dermatology at the Miami Veterans Administration Medical Center.
James Q. Del Rosso, D.O., F.A.O.C.D., a Clinical Assistant Pro-fessor in the Depart-ment of Dermatology at the University of Nevada School of Medicine in Las Vegas, will also contribute to this column. Dr. Del Rosso is a frequent contributor to Skin & Aging,
and he authors the quarterly column “Pharmacotherapy Update.”
On the Front Lines
Dr. Keri has recently returned to academia full time after being in private practice for the last 4 years.
She explains, “I had really never left academia and worked a few clinics a week at the University of Miami all the while doing 20 hours a week of private practice.” However, Dr. Keri goes on to explain, “after 4 years, I missed the academic environment, and Dr. Schachner [Professor and Chairman of the Depart-ment of Dermatology at the University of Miami] needed some help at the Miami
VA, where I was already helping out one morning a week, so he approached me to return full-time.
“I truly enjoy the camaraderie of my fellow colleagues, and it is this that I’d missed most in private practice. Al-though I loved working solo, it is through my work as a member of a faculty that I have truly become a better ‘private practitioner’.”
We welcome the authors of this new column, and we look forward to your comments.
Transplant Patients and Non-melanoma Skin Cancers
Also in this month’s issue, Dr. Del Rosso has written about a survey he conducted with organ transplant patients to gauge the level of education they received about their increased risk for developing non-melanoma skin cancers.
In this month’s “Pharmacotherapy Update,” which begins on page 62, read about his findings. Also, please take a moment to have your transplant patients fill out the survey we’ve provided on page 65, so that more information can be gathered about this important issue.
