Dispelling the Mystery of Demodex
By Neal Bhatia, M.D., and James Q. Del Rosso, D.O., F.A.O.C.D.
As clinicians on the frontlines, we hear many of the same questions you likely hear from your patients. The purpose of this column is to give you answers, which are backed by research, to common questions concerning acne and rosacea.
By Benjamin Barankin, M.D.
In dermatology, we are fortunate to have many of our profession’s innovators and great teachers still among us. This column was created so that we may gain insight from these practitioners and learn more about them. Some are bright stars in our special universe — others unsung heroes. All of these colleagues have much to share from wisdom to humor to insights into dermatology and life.

Clinical Tips
By Benjamin Barankin, M.D., Section Editor
As dermatologists we all have our individual styles of practice and favorite areas of dermatology on which we prefer to focus. But we all share one thing in common: We have a strong desire to improve our skills. Getting input from colleagues can help us achieve this goal, and it is why this column was created. This column will highlight a wide range of pearls from practicing dermatologists — everything from a better way to perform a clinical procedure to a more effective method for communicating with patients to advice for improving an office function.
