## Resource

New research reveals a severe shortage of dermatologists in regional Queensland, leaving patients with skin conditions to travel long distances for care. The lack of specialized care is impacting health and well-being, with general practitioners stepping up but not enough for severe or rare skin issues. Officials are working on recruitment and telehealth solutions, but for now, many patients face long journeys and difficult choices in managing their skin health.
