Asking about Acne: A Palpable and Poignant Patient Perspective

As the most common inflammatory skin disease, Acne Vulgaris is unavoidable in our line of work. By default, we have to be Princes/Princesses of Pimples, though fortunately we have a plethora of options to pick this often chronic disease apart. That said, while the disease is so common, it is uncommon to appreciate the unique journey of each of the 50+ million individuals impacted. Cue the patient. JDD podcast host Dr. Adam Friedman, for a JDD podcast first, is joined by his long standing and self proclaimed favorite patient Melba Melton, attorney extraordinaire specializing in government ethics in Washington, DC. Tune in to listen to her experiences, but also to appreciate the importance of listening to your patient, making yourself accessible, and having an awesome time along the way. If you pick one podcast to peruse, please hit play on this papulopustular party.
