In this episode of the Physician Assistant Exam Review Podcast, we walk through five derm vignettes that show up on high‑stakes exams: melasma, alopecia areata vs telogen effluvium, onychomycosis, paronychia/felon, vitiligo, acanthosis nigricans, and stasis dermatitis.

Instead of memorizing another list, you'll learn how to recognize the patterns in the question stem, how to organize these conditions while you study, and how to avoid the thinking traps that quietly cost you points. If you're working hard but your scores aren't reflecting it, this is how you turn effort into exam points.
