Send us a textPhysician Associate Christi Froiland spent a decade as an athletic trainer in the lower 48 before she went to PA school. She then returned to her hometown of Anchorage where she has practiced at both a dermatology clinic and an urgent care for over 18 years. She has also served for the last decade as the PA representative to the Alaska State Medical Association (ASMA). Outside of the legislature I, too, am a PA, and I know Christi through our professional organization the Alaska Academy of Physician Assistants. Our American professional organization (AAPA) has officially changed the name of our profession to Physician Associates. Alaska PAs have voted to officially change our name to physician associates as well, but the name change has not happened at the regulatory or statutory level yet. The PA profession in Alaska needs modernizing beyond a name change, and although we do not speak about it directly, we will reference Senate Bill 89 sponsored by Sen. Löki Tobin, which would modernize Alaska laws governing PAs.

In this special Derms and Conditions episode recorded live at Fall Clinical 2025, host James Q. Del Rosso, DO, is joined by April Armstrong, MD, MPH, and David Cohen, MD, to share highlights and clinical takeaways from this year's meeting. Dr Armstrong kicks off with updates in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), noting the field's rapid progress with 3 FDA-approved therapies (adalimumab, secukinumab, and bimekizumab), emerging 3-year data for bimekizumab, and exciting new agents such as oral povorcitinib and topical ruxolitinib. She shares learnings on the importance of proactive flare management plans and setting realistic patient expectations, particularly regarding scarring and lymphedema. Dr Cohen and Dr Del Rosso echo the importance of reengaging patients with longstanding HS and highlight the promise of JAK inhibition in this complex disease. The discussion shifts to chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), where Dr Cohen spotlights remibrutinib, a twice-daily oral Bruton kinase inhibitor delivering rapid results sometimes within 1 to 2 weeks and potentially enabling dermatologists to manage CSU more directly. Dr Armstrong adds that dupilumab now offers another trusted option for CSU, with a head-to-head trial versus remibrutinib on the horizon. For chronic hand eczema (CHE), they discuss the paradigm-shifting approval of delgocitinib cream, a topical pan-JAK inhibitor effective across CHE subtypes and free of boxed warnings. They note strong data for pain and itch reduction and its potential to mitigate chronic steroid reliance. The episode closes with emerging oral psoriasis therapies, including 5-year deucravacitinib safety data and radiographic progression inhibition shown with guselkumab. Looking ahead, they predict major advances by 2026 in TYK2 inhibitors, OX40-targeted therapies, and personalized molecular profiling for atopic dermatitis. Tune in to the full episode for expert perspectives straight from the Fall Clinical stage!

Atopic dermatitis, a form of eczema, is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory skin disorder that often begins in childhood but can affect people of all ages. Other eczematous dermatoses include seborrheic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, juvenile plantar dermatosis, and stasis dermatitis. Atopic dermatitis is one of the most common skin conditions in the developed world, typically affecting up to 20% of children and 5-10% of adults. Patients usually present with severe pruritus (itchiness) and dry, inflamed patches of skin. Common sites include the face and extensor surfaces in infants, and flexural areas — like the elbows and knees — in older children and adults. Atopic dermatitis is often associated with other allergic conditions like asthma and allergic rhinitis — what we call the “atopic triad.” These conditions should also be considered when diagnosing someone with atopic dermatitis. PathophysiologyAtopic dermatitis is believed to occur due to a combination of genetic, immune, and environmental factors. A major component is a defective skin barrier, often linked to mutations in the filaggrin gene. This allows irritants, allergens, and microbes to penetrate the skin more easily, triggering inflammation.Differential DiagnosisAtopic dermatitis can sometimes mimic other skin conditions, so it's important to keep a differential in mind: -Contact dermatitis – triggered by allergens or irritants; often limited to the area of exposure but also tends to be very itchy. -Seborrheic dermatitis – greasy scales, typically on the scalp, eyebrows, and nasolabial folds -Psoriasis – well-demarcated plaques with silvery scales; sometimes found in similar areas of the body as eczema. -Tinea (fungal infections) – ring-shaped lesions with active, scaly borders -Important to note that treatment of tinea with topical steroids can make the rash much worse. -Scabies – intense itching, especially at night, with burrows between fingers. Ruling out these conditions helps guide the right treatment and prevent chronic mismanagement. As a recap our main differential diagnosis: contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, tinea, and scabies.The treatment cornerstone: Moisturizers The most important daily treatment for atopic dermatitis is regular moisturizing. Moisturizers repair the skin barrier, reduce water loss, and protect against irritants. They should be applied at least twice daily, ideally right after bathing while the skin is still damp (within 3 minutes is most ideal). Use greasy ointments or thick creams rather than lotions — think products with ceramides or glycerin (hydrates and protects skin). It is best to choose ointments or creams without additives, perfumes or fragrances. Greasier ointments are the preferred vessel; however, patient compliance may be less as they may be unpleasant to some.Bleach Baths For patients with frequent skin infections or severe eczema, dilute bleach baths can be a game-changer. How to do it? Use ¼ to ½ cup of household bleach in a full standard bathtub of water (about 40 gallons) and soak for 10 minutes, twice a week. This helps reduce bacterial colonization — particularly Staphylococcus aureus — which commonly worsens eczema. After the bath, pat the skin dry and immediately apply a moisturizer (within 3 minutes). Bleach baths are endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Dermatology as an adjunctive treatment for atopic dermatitis, especially in patients with moderate to severe disease and frequent bacterial infections, but the evidence for their efficacy is mixed, and further well-designed studies are needed.Medical Treatments-Topical corticosteroids: When moisturizers alone aren't enough, we move to anti-inflammatory therapy. Topical corticosteroids are the first-line treatment for flares. Some studies suggest that a short burst of a high-potency topical corticosteroid to rapidly control active disease, followed by a quick taper in potency, is most effective, whereas others use the lowest-potency agent thought to be needed and adjust upward only if this fails. Common steroids used are hydrocortisone (low potency), triamcinolone (medium potency), or betamethasone (high potency). -High-potency steroids should never be applied to sensitive skin like the face. With short-term use of lower-potency steroids, there is a low likelihood of skin atrophy but use for more than 6 months is linked with greater levels of skin thinning -Wet wrap therapy: Wet wrap therapy improves absorption of topic steroid. Apply a topical steroid, then layer a wet dressing and then a dry dressing over the top of that. This can be beneficial in providing both relief of symptoms and prevention of itching. In pediatric patients it is called “daddy's socks therapy” because large socks may be used to cover the arms of kids.-Topical calcineurin inhibitors — like tacrolimus — are great alternatives for sensitive areas or for maintenance once inflammation is under control. They may burn upon application which can scare patients away from their use.-PO antihistamines can help with itching, especially at night, but they don't treat inflammation itself.-Systemic therapies, like dupilumab (Dupixent®), an IL-4 receptor antagonist, are reserved for moderate to severe cases unresponsive to topical therapy. This is a great time to refer to your local dermatologist for management! Many of the newer treatments are highly effective but can require more frequent monitoring.Recent Research One recent study is the 2024 Cochrane network meta-analysis comparing effectiveness of topical anti-inflammatory treatments for eczema that was recently published in the AFP Journal in July of 2025.Here are the highlights:-Over 291 RCTs with ~45,846 participants were included. -The analysis ranked potent topical corticosteroids, JAK inhibitors (for example ruxolitinib (Opzelura® 1.5 %), and tacrolimus 0.1 % among the most effective for reducing signs and symptoms of eczema. -In contrast, PDE-4 inhibitors [like crisaborole (Eucrisa®) 2 %] were among the least effective in this comparison. -Regarding side effects: tacrolimus and crisaborole were more likely to cause burning or stinging at the application site; corticosteroids were less likely in the short term to cause local irritation.-Long-term outcomes regarding effectiveness or safety of treatments for eczema were not addressed by the review because they are rarely reported.”-Another insight from this study is considering cost when initiating treatment. Most topical steroids are significantly more cost effective than JAK inhibitors or calcineurin inhibitors so it may be best to start with a cheaper solution in an uninsured patient considering their relative effectiveness. Additional Tips & Lifestyle -Keep baths and showers short and in lukewarm water.-Avoid harsh soaps and detergents — use gentle, fragrance-free cleansers.-Wear soft cotton clothing instead of wool or synthetics.-Identify and avoid triggers — common ones include stress, sweating, allergens, and certain foods (especially in kids).-Ice packs can help reduce itching and relieve any burning sensation.-Keep fingernails short, especially in children, help cause less trauma to the skin from repeated itching. Living with eczema Many celebrities like Kerry Washington, Jessica Simpson, Kelly Rowland, Brad Pitt and Kristen Bell have spoken out about their lives with eczema. They have shared personal stories about how they were diagnosed, what treatment works for them, and the general impact it has had on their lives and mental health. I feel like it can be so important for celebrities to speak out about their lives with certain conditions because it helps to normalize the condition, raise awareness of the struggles, and encourages more open dialogue.It is important to remember that for patients living with eczema, the persistent itch-scratch cycle can be very distressing, causing patients to struggle with their sleep and day-to-day activities. Anxiety and depression are common in patients with eczema so as physicians it is vital to monitor for signs of distress. Support groups can be incredibly helpful for patients [National Eczema Association]If you are interested in providing additional information to your patients or getting this for yourself, you can find more resources on altogethereczema.org or nationaleczema.org. Key Takeaways Atopic dermatitis is chronic but manageable. Moisturizers are the foundation of treatment. Topical steroids and calcineurin inhibitors control inflammation. Bleach baths help reduce bacterial load and flare severity. Always rule out other skin conditions to ensure appropriate management. Atopic dermatitis can be managed by the primary care physician but in certain cases (cases refractory to standard topical treatment, recurrent infections, etc.), a referral to dermatology can be especially helpful.Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser.

Sign up for the FREE Live Webinar: Get Off the ‘Hot Girl' Hamster Wheel You've done all the ‘right' things: invested in quality skincare, followed the routines, even cleaned up your diet, yet your skin still doesn't look as vibrant as it used to. What if the culprit isn't just age, but inflammaging? In this week's episode, Dr. Mary Alice Mina sits down with Dr. Orie Achonwa, a physician and wellness expert, to break down the science and soul of inflammation, aging, and the modern lifestyle that's accelerating both. Together, they explore how chronic stress, sleep deprivation, processed foods, and our ‘always-on' digital lives silently inflame the body, and how this shows up on your skin. Dr. Orie blends her background in holistic health and dermatology to reveal how small, intentional changes can restore balance, vitality, and radiance from the inside out. Key Takeaways: ✓ Inflammaging is real: Chronic, low-grade inflammation accelerates visible signs of aging like fine lines, dullness, and loss of elasticity. ✓ Your skin is an organ of reflection, not just protection. It mirrors your stress, sleep, diet, and emotional well-being. ✓ Sleep is skincare. When cortisol stays high, your barrier weakens and hydration drops, leading to faster aging. ✓ Balanced blood sugar = better collagen. Spikes in glucose cause glycation, which stiffens and weakens skin proteins. ✓ Think beyond “anti-aging.” The goal is to nourish your body with protein, vitamin C, and colorful, whole foods. ✓ You don't need expensive supplements or extreme routines. Small, consistent lifestyle shifts calm inflammation from the inside out. Tune in to hear Dr. Mary Alice Mina and Dr. Orie Achonwa discuss the hidden link between inflammation and aging, and how you can nurture your skin through balance, rest, and nourishment! Dr. Orie Achonwa is a dermatology research-scientist, award-winning skincare formulator, and has been a wellness coach to corporate elite, entertainers, and a diplomat for over a decade. Named a Healthcare Innovator by UnitedHealthcare and Female Founder to Watch by Thrive Global, she's presented her original research on anti-inflammatory modalities for improving the skin barrier at national conferences including the Integrative Dermatology Symposium and Florida Academy of Dermatology. She's the founder of PhytoRadiance™ and creator of Radiance Protocol™ — a science-driven, lifestyle-based system that helps people address the root causes of skin aging through nervous system regulation, gut health, and hormonal balance.

The intent of this episode is to identify potential connections between psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, and how targeted treatments have changed the outlook for management of psoriatic disease. This episode is sponsored by Novartis. Timestamps: (0:41) Intro to Psoriasis Uncovered and guest welcome dermatologist Dr. Robert Kalb and rheumatologist Dr. Sergio Schwartzman who are both involved in clinical care and research of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. (1:15) Current known pro-inflammatory cytokines and cells found in psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. (5:33) Types of psoriasis that may lead to a higher risk of developing psoriatic arthritis. (9:33) Common triggers for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis that could cause flares of the disease. (12:59) Key factors that are considered when choosing a treatment plan for any individual with psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis. (18:04) What treatment remission means for psoriasis. (19:36) Use of minimal disease activity (MDA) in psoriatic arthritis and what it means.
