Vitiligo and alopecia areata present unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, as well as profound psychosocial impacts on patients. This 1-hour webinar will review key clinical features and diagnostic clues to distinguish these disorders from their mimickers, outline evidence-based treatment approaches, and highlight emerging therapies.

2. Differentiate these disorders from their key clinical mimickers using history, exam, and diagnostic tools.

3. Develop treatment plans for vitiligo and alopecia areata.

4. Counsel patients effectively about prognosis, treatment expectations, and emerging therapies.

5.  Learn about the impact of advocacy and legislation on clinical outcomes, including patient access to medications, treatment adherence, disease progression, and overall quality of life.
