    A useful new dermatology reading list is not the same thing as a treatment plan, especially when the headlines arrive without results.

    Key takeaways

    • A journal headline is not a personal treatment recommendation.
    • Article type matters when you judge the strength of a claim.
    • Do not change prescriptions or laboratory monitoring from a listing alone.
    • Confirm South African approval, availability, cost and medical-aid cover locally.
    • Use relevant research to ask your clinician better questions.
