Atopic dermatitis (AD) is among the nuts and bolts of any dermatology practice, and as such, gets its time in the spotlight at SDEF’s Annual Hawaii Dermatology Seminar.

This year, SDEF celebrates 41 years of educating dermatologists with the latest in dermatology, featuring presentations from experts on topics ranging from AD treatments and skin cancer chemoprevention to botulinum toxin injections and fillers.
