Episode 100! Trust, Compassion and Dermatitis Artefacta: Lessons from Dr. Marcelo Nico
<p>“Most dermatologists hate to see these patients. But we must not hate to see them because they need help—and they need the dermatologist.”</p><p>— Dr. Marcelo Nico</p><p></p><p>In this 100th episode of JCMS Author Interviews, host Dr. Kirk Barber reflects on a milestone for the podcast before welcoming Dr. Marcelo Nico, Associate Professor of Dermatology at the University of São Paulo and a leading expert in psychodermatology.</p><p>Over the past 100 episodes, JCMS Author Interviews has connected listeners with authors, researchers, and clinicians from around the world, bringing the pages of the Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery to life through conversations that advance dermatologic knowledge and patient care.

Along the way, Dr. Nico offers practical lessons for clinicians navigating some of dermatology’s most challenging patient encounters.</p><p>Dr. Marcelo Nico is Associate Professor of Dermatology at the Medical School of the University of São Paulo in Brazil. His work focuses on inflammatory and autoimmune skin diseases, oral mucosal disorders, and psychodermatology.</p><p>Dr. Barber and his guests do not receive any financial reimbursement for the production of this podcast.</p><p>For more great CDA podcasts <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/dermalogues-the-dermatology-residents-podcast-with/id1457844673">check out Dermalogues</a>, our Residents podcast hosted by Dr Kerri Purdy.</p><p>To learn more about the work of the Canadian Dermatology Association, please visit our website at <a href="dermatology.ca">dermatology.ca</a></p><p>This podcast is produced by David McGuffin and Graham McGuffin of <a href="ExploreProductions.ca">ExploreProductions.ca</a></p>

Episode 99: Supporting Patients Beyond the Clinic - The Vulvar Quality of Life Index with Dr. Marlene Dytoc
<p>How can dermatologists better understand—and improve—the lived experience of patients with vulvar disease?</p><p>In this episode of JCMS Author Interviews, Dr. Kirk Barber speaks with Dr. Marlene Dytoc about her article, <a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/12034754251347552">Evaluating the Impact of the Vulvar Quality of Life Index for New Patient Dermatology Assessments</a>, in the Jan/Feb 2026 issue of the JCMS. Together, they explore how the <a>Vulvar Quality of Life Index (VQLI)</a> helps capture the often-overlooked burden of vulvar conditions and can strengthen communication between physicians and patients.</p><p>The conversation also highlights the surprising impact of expert-led virtual support groups for patients with lichen sclerosus. Dr. Dytoc discusses how peer support, education, and structured quality-of-life assessments can improve patient confidence, satisfaction, and disease management—often after just a single session.</p><p>Looking ahead, she shares new research examining diagnostic delays in lichen sclerosus and the factors that may contribute to missed or delayed diagnoses, including stigma, examination gaps, and limited awareness among both patients and clinicians.</p><p>Dr. Barber and his guests do not receive any financial reimbursement for the production of this podcast.</p><p>For more great CDA podcasts check out <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/dermalogues-the-dermatology-residents-podcast-with/id1457844673">Dermalogues</a>, our Residents podcast hosted by Dr Kerri Purdy.</p><p>To learn more about the work of the Canadian Dermatology Association, please visit our website at <a href="dermatology.ca">dermatology.ca</a></p><p>This podcast is produced by David McGuffin and Graham McGuffin of <a href="ExploreProductions.ca">ExploreProductions.ca</a></p><p>Guest Bio</p><p>Dr. Marlene Dytoc is a Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of Alberta and Medical Director of the University of Alberta’s Vulvar Dermatology, Occupational Hand Eczema, and Psychodermatology Clinics.
