Panelists discuss how they incorporate both steroids and nonsteroidals from the initial visit by limiting steroid use to 1 to 2 weeks followed by long-term nonsteroidal maintenance, while noting the need for more vehicle formulations and lower age indications to better serve younger patients with limited treatment options.

Panelists discuss how postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) from acne requires simultaneous treatment of both the underlying acne and the resulting pigmentation using retinoids as first-line therapy, salicylic acid for exfoliation, and newer cosmeceuticals that can be tolerated even during isotretinoin therapy, emphasizing that treating pigmentation alone without addressing active acne is ineffective.

Panelists discuss how chemical peel selection must consider Fitzpatrick skin type with superficial peels safe for all patients while medium-depth peels require careful application in darker skin, and how treatment adherence is affected by multiple factors including application frequency, cost burden, insurance coverage limitations, and the need to manage patient expectations while accounting for concurrent use of social media–influenced products.

Panelists discuss how the current topical standard of care has evolved from traditional topical steroids developed in the 1960s to include newer nonsteroidal options like ruxolitinib (Janus kinase [JAK] inhibitor), roflumilast (phosphodiesterase-4 [PDE4] inhibitor), and tapinarof (aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonist), with steroids now serving as bridge treatments rather than long-term maintenance therapy.

Panelists discuss how atopic dermatitis presents differently across pediatric age groups. Infants show lesions on cheeks and extensor surfaces, whereas older children develop more typical flexural patterns. They also discuss how the condition significantly impacts the quality of life for patients and caregivers through sleep disruption, school performance issues, and ongoing parental stress.
