We are practicing in the Golden Age of Dermatology! With a plethora of treatment choices available, we can now address life-changing skin conditions such as alopecia areata, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis, even in our younger patients. The ability to communicate effectively and comprehensively about these conditions, their treatments, and the safety considerations of these treatments is a crucial skill, particularly when treating children.  Listen to this podcast and learn to engage in these discussions confidently!

By the conclusion of this podcast, participants will be able to:

• Recognize and discuss treatment alternatives for alopecia areata in children, and adeptly communicate these options to parents.
