Allergic contact dermatitis ranks as the sixth most prevalent diagnosis encountered in dermatology clinics. Nonetheless, it frequently goes unnoticed owing to inadequate patch testing and a diminished sense of suspicion. In this podcast, JiaDe (Jeff) Yu, MD, aims to present distinctive instances of allergic contact dermatitis categorized by region while examining look-alike conditions that share similar presentations.
By the conclusion of this podcast, participants will have the capacity to:
