ABOUT

DermDigest is a dermatology education blog dedicated to helping the public understand their skin, hair, and nail health with clear, evidence-based information. Our mission is to make dermatology accessible—breaking down complex conditions, treatments, and emerging research into content that empowers readers to make informed decisions about their health.

​

All articles on DermDigest are written by pre-medical students participating in Docera, a physician-led medical education program. Through Docera, our writers receive structured training in clinical reasoning, medical writing, and dermatology fundamentals. Every article is reviewed and edited by licensed physicians to ensure accuracy, clarity, and high educational value.

​

We believe that great education comes from collaboration—students bring curiosity and fresh perspective, and doctors ensure each piece meets the highest standard of medical reliability. Together, we aim to create a trusted resource for anyone looking to better understand dermatology.
