Week 21 of Derm Boot Camp focuses on disorders of pigmentation and the clinical reasoning behind diagnosing and managing them. This episode covers vitiligo, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation, and other disturbances of pigmentation, with an emphasis on pathophysiology, visual recognition, and patient counseling.

We also discuss phototherapy when to use it, how it works, and where it fits into treatment plans—along with practical considerations for setting expectations and improving patient experience. This episode is designed to help learners confidently differentiate pigmentation disorders and understand evidence-based management approaches in real-world dermatologic practice.

A must-listen for anyone building a strong foundation in dermatology
