  • Better Croissants, Stranger Drugs

    October 30, 2026 · 34 min

    EADV serves up better croissants—and a packed menu of new mechanisms. The Derms dig into injectable RNA for BCC, a possible anti-scarring angle in HS, a TYK2 showdown, and an alopecia treatment that may keep working after treatment ends.

  • The Fast and the Urticarious

    October 27, 2026 · 24 min

    Dr. Jason Hawkes makes the case for putting speed first when choosing an advanced treatment for CSU. Remibrutinib works fast—but can he convince the Derms that fast is reason enough to put it first?

  • High D, Low Certainty

    October 23, 2026 · 32 min

    The Derms size up high-dose vitamin D, a head-to-head lichen planus trial, and whether contact dermatitis testing is overcalling the culprit.

  • Custom Shots and Drug Cocktails

    October 16, 2026 · 29 min

    The Derms question treatment monogamy: a personalized melanoma vaccine joins forces with immunotherapy, while dual therapy takes on refractory HS and AD.

  • AI Crosses the Prescription Line

    October 9, 2026 · 37 min

    In Utah, AI is getting its hands on the prescription pad—starting with topical acne treatment. The Derms grill Nolla’s CEO on the big questions: Who catches the misses, and is this better access or the beginning of the robot takeover?

  • The Goldilocks Biologic

    October 5, 2026 · 16 min

    Dr. Steve Daveluy makes the case that Cosentyx is the “just right” first biologic for HS—but not every Derm is ready to move past TNFs. Durability, infection risk, IBD, and insurance all enter the argument.

  • Tiny Vesicles, Big Claims

    October 2, 2026 · 37 min

    Exosomes may be real science, but the marketing has sprinted miles ahead of the data. The Derms dig into their promise for burns and epidermolysis bullosa—and why that pricey cosmetic vial may not contain what it claims.

  • Cuts, Switches, and Eight Extra Hairs

    September 25, 2026 · 28 min

    Three papers, three practical questions: Who really needs antibiotics before derm surgery? What comes after an AD drug fails? And does taking oral minoxidil in the morning actually grow more hair—or just raise more eyebrows?

  • Blood, Sweat, and Hives

    September 22, 2026 · 19 min

    Dr. Marc Serota makes the case for targeted lab testing in CSU—but the Derms worry it may open a can of worms. The Chronic Urticaria Index gets a closer look, shotgun allergy panels get nowhere—but does he convince the Derms?

  • Paging Dr. Telederm

    September 18, 2026 · 38 min

    After 70,000 virtual consults, Dr. Joe English knows what a photo can—and can’t—tell you. He joins the Derms to talk diagnostic curveballs, hospital saves, and bringing dermatology where there’s no dermatologist in sight.

  • Tregs, Tape, and Tresses

    September 11, 2026 · 29 min

    Three papers, three very different reactions: a Treg-boosting AD drug that may be too clever for its own good, a Steri-Strip trick you can use tomorrow, and Rinvoq alopecia data that have the Derms calling game changer.

  • Don’t Wait for the Tunnels

    September 8, 2026 · 18 min

    Convince the Derms on Drugs makes its debut with Dr. Christopher Sayed making the case for earlier systemic treatment in HS. Can he convince the Derms to act before recurring lesions become tunnels, scars, and damage no medication can undo?

About the show

Derms on Drugs is where cutting-edge dermatology meets mediocre comedy. Each week three dermatologists – Matt Zirwas, Laura Ferris and Tim Patton – discuss, debate, and dissect the hottest topics in dermatology. It's everything you need to know to be on the cutting-edge of dermatology and it’ll be the most fun you’ve ever had while actually learning something useful. Derms on Drugs is produced by Scholars in Medicine, an online educational platform (scholarsinmedicine.com) exclusively for healthcare professionals of all levels of experience and education.
