CO: CAROLINE ASTRID, MD

During medical school, I learned that dermatology is not only about what is more commonly portrayed on social media, but the majority of dermatology is medicine. There is a lot of medicine in dermatology. There are certain life-threatening emergencies, like SJS/TEN, flares in chronic recidive diseases like psoriasis and infectious diseases. Even a newly discovered disease in late 2019, COVID-19 has dermatologic manifestations. Chronic skin diseases also can affect the patients’ quality of life.

By joining Dermapamine I hope to learn more about dermatovenereology together with medical doctors who share the same vision and also our Derm Supervisors who are constantly guiding us in providing more reliable and trustworthy writings on Dermapamine’s Instagram page and website.
