Dermsquared The leading platform built by dermatologists for dermatologists to elevate patient care

05/28/2026

Oral isotretinoin has been in use for decades, but many of the questions around dosing, duration, and relapse still come back to the basics.

In this solo โ€œSpilling the Teaโ€ episode of Tea with Dr. D, James Q. Del Rosso, DO, revisits isotretinoin through a longitudinal lens, connecting what we learned early on to how we approach treatment today.

He touches on:
-Why cumulative exposure, not just daily dose, matters for durability nd treatment response
-Why cumulative exposure, not just daily dose, matters for durability
-How lab monitoring has shifted in recent years planning
-How lab monitoring has shifted in recent years

When is the right time to refer for Mohs, and what happens in the gap?โ€‹

โ€‹

As systemic options expand, referral timing and coordination are taking on a bigger role in outcomes.โ€‹

Between scheduling delays, evolving lesions, and shifting treatment plans, the โ€œin-betweenโ€ period often requires active management from both dermatology and Mohs teams.โ€‹

In this Topical Conversations episode, Aaron Farberg, MD, and George Monks, MD, discuss how clinicians are approaching that window in real-world practice, including where systemic therapy may fit.โ€‹

May 24 is Global Actinic Keratosis Day โ€” an excellent moment to ask the harder question: are we treating lesions, or are we treating the field?

Most of us know the answer. The challenge is building a plan patients will actually follow.

๐ŸŽง Ep. 13, The Spot Check โ€” Field Therapy & the Bigger Picture of AK Care

David Seiter, NP, brings the kind of clinical realism this topic needs. Inside the episode:

Choosing the right topical for the right patient: matching agent to skin type, lifestyle, and tolerance threshold
Pre-treatment counseling that sets expectations and protects adherence through the downtime
Where Polypodium leucotomos and nicotinamide actually fit into long-term prevention (and where they don't)
Building a maintenance framework patients return to, not one they retreat from

Hosted by Jamie Restivo, MPAS, PA-C.

Seiter's approach won't change what you prescribe. It'll change how you frame the entire conversation around it.

May 24 is Global Actinic Keratosis Day โ€” and if you're in derm, you know AKs aren't a lesion problem. They're a field, adherence, and follow-through problem.

Patients who progress are usually not those who never received treatment. They're the ones who got treated once, didn't tolerate it, and never came back.

That's where this episode comes in.

๐ŸŽง Ep. 8, The Spot Check โ€” Let There Be Light: Integrating PDT into Clinical Practice for AKs

Fabrizio Galimberti, MD, PhD, delivers one of the most practice-ready PDT conversations we've recorded.

Inside:
-Patient selection criteria that predict response and tolerability
-Incubation optimization: what the literature supports vs. what actually works in clinic
-Painless PDT protocols and why they're changing adherence rates
-Scheduling and workflow pearls that make PDT sustainable in a high-volume practice

Hosted by Jamie Restivo, MPAS, PA-C.

If PDT is already in your toolkit, Galimberti will sharpen it. If it isn't yet, this is the episode that gets you there.

The bottle of fish oil on the nightstand. The "clean" moisturizer swapped in last week. The Reddit thread your patient read at 2 a.m. before their appointment.

Integrative dermatology isn't coming - it's already in the exam room. The only variable is whether your patients are getting guidance from you or from an algorithm.

In this episode of The Spot Check, Lauren Stewart, PA-C, joins Jamie Restivo, PA-C, for an honest, clinically grounded conversation on what integrative dermatology really is (a step back, not a step away from conventional care), and how to weave it into the way you already practice.

Inside the episode:
Why you have to "put the fire out first" before integrative tools can do their job
What Stewart actually recommends for atopic dermatitis: ceramides, sunflower and coconut oils, hypochlorous acid, probiotics, topical B12
Quick-hit considerations for psoriasis, acne, HS, AKs, molluscum, and warts
How to evaluate a therapy when the evidence isn't airtight

You don't have to become an integrative specialist. You just have to be the most trusted voice in the conversation your patients are already having.
