The short slide show above offers a selection of 5 that received top ratings from the audience in attendance. Others that were also popular:
Cheri Frey, MD: For an itch without a rash: Mix a 50 mL bottle of clobetasol 0.05% solution into a 1 lb jar of pramoxine containing bland moisturizer; apply nightly
Clay J Cockerel, MD: Many site-specific nevi have “atypical” features seen in “dysplastic” nevi (DN) but they are not truly DN in many cases and are not usually associated with an increased risk of melanoma
Mark Lebwohl, MD: Look into discount pharmacies for reduced prices on biologic topicals: CVS price for roflumilast cream $926.44; Manhattan Apotheco price $0 to 35
Neal Bhatia, MD: Schedule every AK patient for PDT twice a year, especially around the time changes, avoiding vacations, photography required times of year and social events; and, make every Friday PDT day, even if there in only 1 patient
Cheri Frey, MD: Intralesional triamcinolone may or may not be beneficial for treating acute hidradenitis suppurativa A; to help manage discomfort during the procedure, dilute the triamcinolone with bupivacaine – takes 1 to 17 minutes to take effect but can last up to 9 hours
