I've been having trouble getting my residency research project published. Since I don't feel like arguing with reviewer #2 anymore, I figured I'd just tweet it! More people will probably see my work this way anyway ...

1st, thanks to @HeidiJacobe for all of her help with this project.
And for an abstract in twitter form:
tl;dr ➡️ there's a lot of bogus derm content on twitter, but the most popular misinformation often isn't addressed by the @AADskin's tweets or online patient info articles.

Per request of @GoodishIntent (and many others!), let’s talk about TOPICAL RETINOIDS.
#dermatology #dermtwitter #medtwitter
I’ve briefly discussed some of the mechanisms behind topical retinoids before, so this thread will focus on their practical use.
Describing rashes can be hard. I get it. You got like 1 lecture about it in med school and then us snooty dermatologists sneer when we get consulted for a "petechial rash" that's actually just crusted excoriations.
So, here's a refresher on describing rashes.

First of all, why does it even matter? Why can't you just call it a rashy rash and refer to derm?
Well, skin disease is common. Dermatologists are not. If you're in an area with limited access to derm, building a correct ddx for skin disease relies on an accurate description.
