New Articles on causes and treatments for AKs, Melasma, Atopic Derm, Acne, Grover's and Contact Derm.  But you can't always believe what you read in a journal, and even when you can it doesn't mean it's going to help your patients.  So, sit back, relax and join the Derms on Drugs to separate fact from fiction.

• A systemic option for patients with tons of actinic keratoses all over their body?  If it sounds too good to be true it probably is, right?
• Botox for melasma.  Can you see the difference?  Can the Derms on Drugs?
• New "Real World" data says Dupixent doesn't help 85% of patients.  Are the authors living in the "Real World"?
• Hormonal IUDs cause acne - Fact, fiction or the jury is still out?
• Grover's Disease (aka transient acantholytic dermatosis) isn't always so transient.  Do we finally have a breakthrough?
• Positive Patch Tests in Kids - do they actually get better or is it just sending us down a rabbit hole?

Derms on Drugs is brought to you by Scholars in Medicine.
