Dermatomyositis: Diagnosis and treatment
The second article in this continuing medical education series reviews the initial evaluation of patients with suspected dermatomyositis (DM), the relevant work-up for malignancy and interstitial lung disease once a diagnosis of DM is made, and treatment recommendations for patients with DM based on disease severity, the presence of systemic symptoms, and myositis-specific antibody (MSA) profiles. This review emphasizes the emerging role of MSAs in the diagnosis of DM and highlights how MSAs can be used to guide the appropriate work-up for malignancy and interstitial lung disease.

Hidradenitis suppurativa
The treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) has remained challenging because of the many knowledge gaps regarding etiology. However, recent studies into the pathogenesis of HS have enabled the investigation of newer therapies. The second article in this continuing medical education series reviews the evidence for established therapies for HS, including anti-inflammatories, antibiotics, and surgery. New and emerging therapies that specifically target cytokines involved in HS pathogenesis will be covered.

Vulvar diseases
The most problematic vulvovaginal conditions are familiar to dermatologists but may exhibit distinct clinical features or medication management because of the anatomic location. The second article in this continuing medical education series focuses on management pearls for treating vulvar diseases. We highlight key conditions, such as lichen sclerosus, erosive lichen planus, and vulvodynia. In addition, we review conditions that dermatologists may be less familiar with, such as plasma cell vulvitis, desquamative inflammatory vaginitis, vulvar aphthae, and low estrogen states.

Technological advances for the detection of melanoma
The growth of molecular technologies analyzing skin cells and inherited genetic variations has the potential to address current gaps in both diagnostic accuracy and prognostication in patients with melanoma or in individuals who are at risk for developing melanoma. In the second article in this continuing medical education series, novel molecular technologies are reviewed. These have been developed as adjunct tools for melanoma management and include the Pigmented Lesion Assay, myPath Melanoma, and DecisionDx-Melanoma tests, and genetic testing in patients with a strong familial melanoma history.

Prurigo nodularis
(PN) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by intensely pruritic, hyperkeratotic nodules that favor the extensor surfaces of the extremities and the trunk. In addition to its significant impact on quality of life, many patients with PN are recalcitrant to therapy because there are currently no therapies approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. In the first article of this 2-part continuing medical education series, we describe the broader epidemiology, patient demographics, physical examination findings, and symptoms to aid in the timely recognition and diagnosis of PN.

Reflectance confocal microscopy
(RCM) is a high-resolution, noninvasive tool that is currently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for obtaining and interpreting images of the skin and cutaneous neoplasms with the goal of decreasing unnecessary biopsy procedures in patients with benign lesions. The second article in this continuing medical education series focuses on identifying key criteria for the diagnosis of common skin cancers —melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma.

Subepithelial autoimmune blistering dermatoses: Clinical features and diagnosis
Subepithelial autoimmune blistering dermatoses are a group of rare skin disorders that are characterized by the disruption of the dermal-epidermal junction through the action of autoantibodies. The third article in this continuing medical education series explores the background, epidemiology, clinical features, and diagnostic criteria of each of the major subepithelial autoimmune blistering dermatoses, including bullous pemphigoid, pemphigoid gestationis, lichen planus pemphigoides, mucous membrane pemphigoid, linear IgA bullous dermatosis, and dermatitis herpetiformis.

Emerging therapeutics in the management of connective tissue disease. Part II: Dermatomyositis and scleroderma
The management of connective tissue diseases is dramatically evolving with the advent of biologics and novel oral systemic therapeutics. Despite involvement in the care of these complex patients, there is a knowledge gap in the field of dermatology regarding these emerging agents. The second article in this continuing medical education series discusses new and emerging therapeutics for dermatomyositis and scleroderma that target cells, intracellular signaling pathways, and cytokines.

32652 Using shared decision-making communication strategies to improve outcomes for patients with atopic dermatitis: Results of a national scope continuing medical education initiative
An online national-scope 1-credit continuing medical education (CME) activity targeted at primary care clinicians, pediatricians, dermatologists, and allergists focused on educating as many clinicians as possible on what shared decision-making (SDM) is and how it can improve outcomes in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD). It also encouraged providers to share National Eczema Association ’s patient platform, EczemaWise, with as many patients as possible. The activity, available through three of the largest CME distribution channels in the United States, included video vignettes with examples of effective communication a...

Racial and ethnic health disparities in dermatology in the United States. Part 2: Disease-specific epidemiology, characteristics, management, and outcomes
Racial and ethnic disparities in dermatology negatively affect outcomes such as mortality and quality of life. Dermatologists and dermatologic surgeons should be familiar with disease-specific inequities that may influence their practice. The second article in this 2-part continuing medical education series highlights gaps in frequency, clinical presentation, management, and outcomes by race and ethnicity. We review cutaneous malignancies including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, Merkel cell carcinoma, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, and inflammatory disorders includ...

Erythromelalgia. Part I: Pathogenesis, clinical features, evaluation, and complications
Erythromelalgia is a rare pain disorder that is underrecognized and difficult-to-treat. It is characterized by episodes of extremity erythema and pain that can be disabling; it may be genetic, related to an underlying systemic disease, or idiopathic. Considering the prominent cutaneous features characteristic of the condition, dermatologists can play an important role in early recognition and limitation of morbidity. The first article in this 2-part continuing medical education series reviews the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, evaluation, and complications.
