Dermoscopy: Integral in diagnosis of pigmented lesions in children
Melanoma is rare among pediatric patients, but it does occur. And the best way to determine whether to excise a lesion on a young patient is by using dermoscopy, according to Robert Johr, M.D., a dermatologist who practices in Boca Raton, Fla.
The FDA approval, based on 36-week data from the phase 3 BRAVE-AA-PEDS trial, extends baricitinib access to patients as young as 12 years old with severe alopecia areata.
