An expert discusses the benefits and risks of topical corticosteroids (TCS) and calcineurin inhibitors in atopic dermatitis (AD) treatment, highlighting patient concerns about long-term adverse effects and withdrawal, while emphasizing emerging nonsteroidal therapies as promising safer alternatives for personalized care.

An expert discusses the shift from reactive to proactive treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD), emphasizing personalized care and the growing role of advanced nonsteroidal topicals—such as PDE4 and JAK inhibitors—alongside updated guidelines aimed at improving clinician awareness and patient outcomes.

An expert discusses practical strategies for assessing atopic dermatitis severity, highlighting simple yet effective tools such as the Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) scale, palm-based body surface area (BSA) estimation, and the Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) to guide personalized treatment and improve symptom tracking in routine clinical care.

An expert discusses the formal diagnostic criteria and diverse clinical presentations of atopic dermatitis, emphasizing patient-centered assessment, challenges in distinguishing it from similar conditions, and the critical role of education and skin care in effective management, particularly in primary care settings.

A panelist discusses that the intranasal epinephrine device causes only mild, expected adverse effects such as nasal discomfort and headache, avoids injection-related risks, demonstrates rapid symptom improvement in pediatric food challenge studies, and offers practical advantages such as higher heat tolerance for storage and a longer shelf life compared with traditional autoinjectors.

Panelists discuss billing and coding procedures for skin scanning devices, focusing on the use of unlisted Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) 99 codes with proper documentation and modifiers, the importance of clear communication with billing teams, available educational resources to aid primary care settings, and operational considerations including scope-of-practice variations for device use among clinical staff.

Panelists discuss that decisions to forgo biopsy often weigh patient risk and lesion characteristics with noninvasive tools offering valuable reassurance; while familiarity with artificial intelligence (AI) aids varies, these technologies—used judiciously and alongside clinical expertise—can boost diagnostic confidence, though limitations and integration challenges remain.
