Dr. Jaher expressed particular excitement about the conference’s focus on biologics, JAK inhibitors, and new medications for autoimmune diseases. This includes conditions like vitiligo, alopecia, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and urticaria, all of which significantly impact patients’ quality of life. She underscored the importance of staying current on these topics to improve patient care

Dr. Jaher recommended a broad audience, including medical students, nurses specializing in dermatology, and residents, in addition to dermatologists and aesthetics professionals. She also pointed out the value of inviting laser technicians for the aesthetic component, emphasizing the importance of a collaborative approach among all professionals involved in skin care.

Sharing advice for general skin care, Dr. Jaher stressed the importance of knowing one’s skin type. She recommended at least one consultation with a dermatologist to accurately identify skin type, which then guides the selection of appropriate skincare products for a healthy and fresh appearance.

Dr. Jaher expressed her love for her job, particularly the communication and education aspects with patients. She believes that building strong relationships and thoroughly educating patients about their condition and treatment leads to better compliance and positive outcomes.

Finally, Dr. Jaher discussed her particular interest in treating challenging conditions like hidradenitis suppurativa, a severe autoimmune disease characterized by recurrent, painful abscesses and nodules in various body areas. She described the profound negative impact this condition has on patients’ lives and urged early consultation with a dermatologist if symptoms like recurrent abscesses or nodules appear in specific areas (armpits, under breasts, groin, buttocks, inner thighs) more than six times in six months. Treatment varies by severity, ranging from topical and systemic antibiotics to biologics, and often requires a multidisciplinary approach involving psychiatrists and surgeons.
