Got a persistent dry patch, flaky scalp, or a rash that pops up with minimal sun? It might be more than just skin deep—it could be tied to an autoimmune condition! When dermatologists and rheumatologists work together, they can provide better care, treating both the skin and any other health issues tied to autoimmune conditions. This teamwork is especially helpful in managing conditions like lupus, psoriasis, or dermatomyositis, where the immune system affects the skin and other organs.

Tune in to this week’s podcast with @drbrittanypanico to learn about autoimmune conditions, their skin manifestations, how to choose between a dermatologist and rheumatologist, and the latest on treatment options.

(7:10) Understanding Autoimmune Conditions

(16:07) All About Lupus

(29:35) The Significance of a Positive ANA Test

(33:39) Top 3 Tips for People with Autoimmune Conditions
