In a strategic collaboration designed to amplify thought leadership and advance pediatric dermatology, the Society for Pediatric Dermatology (SPD), the nation’s only organization specifically dedicated to the field of children’s skin, hair, and nail disorders, and Dermatology Times, the leading clinical voice in dermatology, announce the official launch of the Don’t Be Rash® podcast.

Originally released as a year-long, St. Luke’s University Health Network-sponsored initiative, Don’t Be Rash® has evolved as a fully supported, multimedia production presented by Dermatology Times in collaboration with SPD. The podcast features pediatric dermatologists, general dermatologists, pediatricians, and cross-disciplinary experts discussing practical approaches to diagnosing and managing childhood skin disorders, emerging trends, and prevention strategies.

“This collaboration is about more than a podcast, it’s about putting pediatric dermatology on the center stage,” said Dr. Krakowski. “By partnering with SPD and Dermatology Times, we’re creating a platform where leaders in our field can share insights, challenge thinking, and inspire the next generation. At the same time, we want parents and caregivers to feel empowered to understand their child’s skin, know when to seek care, and separate common myths from real concerns.  No Insta-influencers or self-appointed TikTok experts here – just a renowned team of trusted, board-certified skin specialists!”

Designed to engage seasoned clinicians, trainees, and patients alike, Don’t Be Rash® combines high-level discussion with actionable takeaways. A recurring segment, “Skin-tuition,” will spotlight concise clinical pearls and practical strategies that clinicians can integrate into everyday practice and that families can use in their daily lives.

The collaboration also creates new opportunities for dermatologists to elevate their professional visibility. Featured guests will benefit from promotion across SPD and Dermatology Times digital channels, including web, social media, newsletter, and podcast visibility, expanding reach beyond traditional academic forums.

“This is an invitation to our colleagues and to our patients and their families,” Dr. Krakowski added. “If you are passionate about a particular skin condition, advancing research, mentoring young physicians, improving patient outcomes, or just happen to have a topic you want covered in more detail, then this is your platform. Together, we can amplify the authority and impact of pediatric dermatology nationwide – and beyond!”
