Connect the Dots: What Is That Spot?
Melanoma awareness has increased over the last 10-15 years, and patients are paying attention to their “spots.” But what are all the spots that can develop on the skin? Can you name that spot? During this session, attendees will be shown the most frequent benign lesions and “spots” seen during a routine skin exam. Treatments, procedures, and techniques to remove the “spots” will also be reviewed and discussed.
Bippity Boppity Boo Get Me Ready for My Zoom! (Rx=0.50)
Since the pandemic, many of our patients have spent enormous amounts of time on Zoom calls looking at themselves. This session will review the most common rashes and complaints a dermatologist will see on patients’ faces. But, most importantly, the treatments used to clear their faces will be detailed to have our patients “zoom” ready. Now, let’s not forget the number one thing our patients notice…. wrinkles. We will discuss the treatment of neurotoxins that help keep our patients looking youthful and refreshed. Conditions such as acne, rosacea, perioral dermatitis, Seborrheic dermatitis, pityriasis alba, and lupus will be discussed. The number one cosmetic procedure, injection of neurotoxins, will also be detailed.
The Three S’s of Dermatology: Skin Cancer, Sunshine, & Sunscreen (Rx=0.50)
I live in Florida, the sunshine state, and the majority of Floridians love the sun. But what can the sun cause…skin cancer! The diagnosis and management of actinic keratoses, SCC, BCC, and melanoma will be reviewed, discussing surgical and topical options for patients. A summary of the effects of UV radiation on the skin will be discussed, along with a deeper dive into sunscreen. Is sunscreen safe? The questionable myths about sunscreen use and applications will be answered and outlined.
Tinea or Not? (Rx=0.50)
Test your skills in identifying ringworm on the skin. This is a case-based presentation. Participants will be shown pictures of two rashes, one a tinea and the other a non-tinea rash. I will review the clinical presentation of cutaneous tinea infections and the common rashes mistaken for tinea. Common Tinea infections reviewed; Tinea Corporis, Tinea Manun, Tinea Faciei, Tinea Versicolor, Tinea Unguium, Intertrigo, Tinea Capitis, Tinea Crusis, and Tinea Incognito. Treatment options for tinea will be reviewed and detailed.
What Is That Itch? (Rx=0.50)
The first question we ask a patient with a rash is if it itches. The next question our patient asks is, what is causing that itch? This session will review the common dermatological conditions that commonly cause itch and drive our patients madly insane with that itch. The presentation of rashes includes Lichen Planus, Scabies, Dermatitis Herpetiformis, Atopic Dermatitis, Bullous Pemphigoid, Urticaria, ID reaction, Stasis Dermatitis, Prurigo Nodularis, and Transient Acantholytic Dermatosis.

Dermspeak Jeopardy-Style: Review the Lingo of Lesions & Rashes
This fast-paced game show version of visual diagnosis will help set the stage for a day of reviewing dermatologic conditions. By reviewing lesion morphology and distribution patterns, participants will be able to sharpen their skills and gain confidence in making these important diagnoses. Case presentations will stimulate discussion along with hundreds of interesting dermatologic images to assist in disease recognition. Don’t miss this opportunity to refine your ability to quickly and confidently diagnose dermatologic disease and have some fun as you start your day.
Tackling Topical Therapies & Routine Skin Care (Rx=0.50)
“If it is wet, dry it; if it is dry, wet it; and if you don’t know what to do, put a steroid on it.” Dermatologic pharmacology is not so simple. Many topical medications are utilized in primary care to manage conditions ranging from xerosis to contact dermatitis to cutaneous infections. The proper preparation, amount, and duration of therapy should be considered to be used most effectively. This presentation will help the primary care provider make sense of the various commonly prescribed topical medications, including topical corticosteroids, anti-infective agents, emollients, and several new agents that have recently become available. Medication dosing and safety will be addressed, as well as pearls and practical pointers for the most effective use of these products. Learn the what, when, and how of dermatologic pharmacology. This session will conclude with practical tips for taking care of the skin, from cleansing to moisturizing and skin cancer prevention.
Bites, Stings, & Other Itchy Things (Rx=0.50)
Something stings you, you rub against a plant, you take a new medication, you use a new product…you get a rash, and it itches. When an allergen is responsible for triggering the immune system, an allergic skin condition is a result. Allergy-mediated skin manifestations can be superficial, like contact dermatitis or urticaria, or can lead to more systemic reactions, such as toxic epidermal necrolysis or anaphylaxis. Participants in this session will review the common skin findings in several allergic and pruritic conditions and the diagnostic testing and management strategies that will improve the skin’s look and potentially save lives.
An Update on Skin & Soft Tissue Infections (Rx=0.50)
The skin is a great line of defense, but it is not always perfect at keeping out microbial invaders. When microbes invade, infection ensues. The epidemiology and clinical presentations of common skin infections, including tinea (capitis, corporis, pedis, cruris, unguium), HPV, molluscum, cellulitis, and abscesses, will be reviewed in this session. The differential diagnosis and methods for confirming diagnosis based on clinical presentation will be discussed and recommended treatment options for each type of infection will be specified.
Inside Out – Dermatologic Manifestations of Systemic Disease
There are many clues that rashes and lesions can give us to rheumatologic, renal, endocrine, and even malignant conditions. Our job is to recognize the signs that make us dig deeper for the diagnosis. Cases and images will ensure you feel confident that you will not miss these important internal medicine manifestations. This session will confirm the saying, “It’s more than skin deep.”

Red & Bumpy & Dry Oh My! (Rx=0.50)
What’s on their face? What to do when it’s not just acne. This session will cover the diagnosis and treatment of frequently seen facial conditions, including acne, rosacea, cysts, and facial dermatosis. In addition, pityriasis alba, perioral, lid, lip, and seborrheic dermatitis will also be reviewed.
It’s Not Just a Base Tan
What are the long-term consequences of baby oil, tanning beds, and a lack of SPF? You guessed it…skin cancer! It’s the most common cancer in the US, and statistics show that 1 in 5 will develop skin cancer in their lifetime. This session will look at the most common skin cancers, and a few must not miss diagnoses. We’ll review actinic keratosis, BCC/SCC, Melanoma, Extramammary Paget disease, and CTCL.
But, Is It Contagious? (Rx=0.50)
Contagious or not?! Does your patient need to avoid friends, family, or sexual partners? This session will look at common skin conditions patients present with and frequently wonder if they are contagious. Pityriasis Rosea, Condyloma, Zoster, Herpes, Hidradenitis Suppurativa, and plant dermatitis will be reviewed.
I’ll Take Spots for 400
This session will look at common and not-so-common skin spots to help aid you in their diagnosis, treatment and refer to dermatology as warranted. This lecture will focus on identifying and treating benign lesions, including hemangiomas, SKs, LPLKs, Molluscum, Warts, Nevi, acrochordons, café o lait, and blue nevi.
Let’s Make a Rash Decision (Rx=0.50)
It’s Friday at five, and your patient is red and itchy. What do you do? When, what, and where do you put that steroid? This session will look at the diagnosis and treatment of several common rashes and skin conditions to help relieve your patient and get you to happy hour on time. This session will include irritant and allergic contact dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, tinea infection, scabies, drug eruptions, and life-threatening rashes. We will also review the basics of steroid use, including what, when, and where to use it.
