EP 55: Derm Confessions — The Weirdest Things We've Seen in Practice — Part 1 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every dermatologist has stories they can't tell at dinner. This is that episode. Dr. Dustin Portela and Austin Lee set aside the science and spend an episode doing something different: sharing the cases that stuck with them, the moments they didn't see coming, and a few things patients put on their skin that genuinely defy explanation. No personally identifying details. No punching down. Just two clinicians who have spent a combined two decades in exam rooms and have earned the right to say what
EP 54: Ozempic Face — What GLP-1 Drugs Do to Your Skin, Hair and Appearance (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The weight is coming off. But something else is changing too, and nobody warned you about it. GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy have reshaped the conversation around weight loss in a way that nothing has in decades. What that conversation often leaves out is what happens to the face, the hair, and the skin in the process. Dr. Dustin Portela and Austin Lee are seeing it in clinic every week now, often from patients who never connected their new medication to what they are seein
EP 53: Derm Myth Court: Tanning for Vitamin D? Oily Skin Doesn't Need Moisturizer? — Part 2 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some skincare myths are easy to knock down. The ones in this episode are trickier, because the prosecution actually has a case. Round two of Derm Myth Court brings three myths that feel more defensible than last week's, which makes them more dangerous. Dr. Dustin Portela and Austin Lee trade sides again, and the debate format earns its keep here because at least one of these arguments is genuinely contested. The vitamin D and sun exposure debate is the most substantive of the three. Yes, UVB exp
EP 52: Derm Myth Court: Does Sunscreen Cause Cancer? Beef Tallow? Lemon Juice for Acne? — Part 1 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some skincare myths are easy to dismiss. Others are built on just enough real science to sound credible, and those are the ones that spread. For the first episode of Derm Myth Court, Dr. Dustin Portela and Austin Lee take three of the most persistent myths in dermatology and put them on trial. The format is simple: one host argues in favor of the myth, the other defends against it, and then the actual science delivers the verdict. It is more entertaining than a lecture and more useful than a scr
Featured Episode: A Medicare Proposal Could Change How You Receive Care — Here's What You Can Do (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most people don't follow healthcare policy. But this one is worth your attention, and the window to do something about it closes September 14th. A new CMS proposal, if passed, would cut reimbursement by 50 percent any time a doctor performs a procedure on the same day as an office visit. On paper, it sounds like a billing technicality. In practice, it means that if your dermatologist finds a suspicious mole during a routine skin check, many practices would no longer be able to biopsy it that sam
