In this episode of PeDRA Pearls , Jenn Dawson talks with Colleen Cotton, MD, and Dawn Eichenfield, MD, PhD, leaders of PeDRA’s Acne and Hidradenitis Suppurativa Focus Study Group, about the evolving research landscape for pediatric acne and HS. Together, they discuss the importance of early recognition and referral, patient-centered research, pediatric-specific outcomes, and emerging areas of study, including post-isotretinoin care, stigma, laser hair removal, GLP-1 receptor agonists, hormonal therapies, and gender-affirming care.
