This week’s episode focuses on three of the most common viral conditions seen in clinical practice: herpes simplex virus (HSV), varicella-zoster virus (VZV), and warts. We break down how these conditions present in real patients, how to differentiate similar-looking eruptions, and how to approach evaluation and treatment with confidence. You’ll also hear practical tips for patient communication—especially for diagnoses that carry stigma, anxiety, or lots of misconceptions.
