Join us as Dr. Volkman shares her unexpected journey from aspiring gynecologist to a pediatric dermatologist, driven by the unmet needs she witnessed during her medical rotations.

    Discover how skin conditions, often dismissed as mere cosmetic issues, can profoundly affect a child's self-esteem and mental well-being. Dr. Volkman sheds light on the social stigmatization and bullying that children with visible skin conditions endure and emphasizes the importance of addressing these issues with sensitivity and understanding.

    We also explore the controversial perceptions around acne treatments, the influence of social media on skincare routines, and practical advice for parents supporting their children through skin struggles. Tune in to learn how dermatology goes beyond the skin, touching lives in ways that are often overlooked.
