DermPA™ Spotlight

SDPA Statement on Topical Steroids

The Society of Dermatology Physician Assistants (SDPA) recognizes emerging evidence on potential adverse effects associated with prolonged topical corticosteroid use in managing chronic inflammatory dermatoses. These findings highlight the need for vigilant treatment planning to mitigate long-term risks. To prioritize patient safety and optimize outcomes, the SDPA advocates for routine assessment of cumulative steroid exposure as a cornerstone of patient care.

SDPA Member Spotlight - JAMES WORRY

I love dermatology because I am a visual person. I love the attention to detail and recognizing subtle differences in presentation of rashes or lesions.
