“Our patients hate these marks. They hate them more than they hated their acne to begin with.” — Hilary Baldwin, MD, FAAD
Don’t miss this insightful interview on the pigmentary impact of acne, conducted by Next Steps in Derm in partnership with Skin of Color Update. Dr. Baldwin reviews how her management of acne and post‑inflammatory pigmentary changes has evolved. She shares practical, clinic-ready guidance including:
- Whether to take an acne‑first approach or treat acne and hyperpigmentation simultaneously
- Why “scars” is often the wrong term for certain post‑acne pigmentary changes
- How she safely incorporates new over‑the‑counter topicals into patients’ routines to address pigmentary alteration
If you treat acne in patients with skin of color (or anyone troubled by persistent pigmentation), join us in Chicago June 6 and 7 for the Pigmentary Disorders Exchange Symposium. Sessions will address the pigmentary sequelae of inflammatory skin conditions, including acne and atopic dermatitis, as well as the latest in the management of pigmentary conditions, including melasma and vitiligo.
