Data Driven Dealings for Disabling Dysfunctional Diabetic (epi)Dermal Disorders

Sometimes the most common and obvious problems fall through the cracks. Focusing in a bit, the management of diabetes associated with xerosis, hyperkeratosis, foot syndrome, all which could lead to more complicated and disabling dermatologic disease, has not received the consensus statement for prevention and management it deserves…until now. JDD Podcast host Dr. Adam Friedman reviews the gap filling evidence based algorithm with lead author Dr. Robert Kirsner, Chairman and the endowed Harvey Blank Professor in the Dr. Phillip Frost Dermatology in the Department of Dermatology and Cutaneous Surgery and Professor of Public Health Sciences at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
