Who We Are
Dermatology Reports was established in 2018 by a team of dermatology professionals, medical writers, and patient advocates who recognized a critical need for accessible, accurate skin health information online. While dermatological knowledge has advanced dramatically in recent decades, much of this expertise remains locked behind paywalls, buried in academic journals, or diluted into oversimplified advice that fails to help patients make truly informed decisions.
Our platform bridges this gap, translating complex dermatological science into clear, actionable guidance that patients can use to understand their skin conditions, evaluate their treatment options, and have more productive conversations with their healthcare providers. We serve hundreds of thousands of readers each month who rely on our content for guidance on everything from common concerns like acne and skin tags to more complex conditions requiring specialist care.
Our Medical Review Process
Every article published on Dermatology Reports undergoes a rigorous review process that begins with research by our medical writing team and concludes with review by qualified dermatology professionals. Our reviewers include board-certified dermatologists, dermatology nurses, and other skin health specialists who evaluate our content for clinical accuracy, completeness, and alignment with current evidence-based practice guidelines.
We clearly indicate when content has been medically reviewed and by whom, and we include the date of the most recent review so readers can assess the currency of the information. We update our content regularly to reflect new research findings, updated clinical guidelines, and emerging treatment options.
Our Commitment to Independence
Dermatology Reports maintains strict independence from commercial interests in the dermatology and skincare industries. We do not accept payment from pharmaceutical companies, skincare brands, medical device manufacturers, or other commercial entities to influence our editorial content. When we discuss specific products or treatments, our assessments are based on clinical evidence and our independent evaluation, not commercial relationships.
We believe that patients deserve unbiased information that serves their health interests, not the commercial interests of product manufacturers or healthcare providers with financial conflicts of interest. This commitment to independence is the foundation of the trust our readers place in us.
Our Editorial Team
Our editorial team includes medical writers with advanced degrees in biomedical sciences, journalism, and public health, as well as practicing dermatologists and dermatology nurses who contribute their clinical expertise to our content. Our team members have published in peer-reviewed journals, contributed to patient education materials for major medical centers, and worked with patient advocacy organizations to improve health literacy in dermatology.
We also maintain relationships with academic dermatology departments and professional organizations including the American Academy of Dermatology, which help us stay current with the latest research and clinical developments in the field.
A Note on Medical Advice
While we strive to provide the most accurate and comprehensive skin health information available, the content on Dermatology Reports is intended for educational purposes and should not be construed as medical advice. Every individual's skin is unique, and conditions that appear similar can have different causes and require different treatments. We strongly encourage all readers to consult with a qualified healthcare provider for diagnosis and treatment of any skin condition.
Our goal is to help you become a more informed patient — one who understands your condition, knows the right questions to ask your doctor, and can participate actively in decisions about your care. We believe that informed patients achieve better health outcomes, and we are committed to providing the information that makes that possible.
