Track: Geriatric Dermatology

Geriatric dermatology addresses the unique challenges of skin health in older adults, where age‑related changes, comorbidities, and fragility of the skin create complex clinical scenarios. With populations worldwide living longer, dermatologists are increasingly confronted with conditions such as chronic ulcers, pruritus, xerosis, and malignancies in elderly patients. These disorders not only affect physical health but also significantly impact quality of life, independence, and psychosocial wellbeing. This session will emphasize tailored management strategies, preventive care, and innovations that enhance outcomes for aging populations.

Overview:

The session will provide a comprehensive exploration of dermatologic conditions in older adults, highlighting both common age‑related changes and serious disorders requiring specialized care. Faculty will discuss chronic wounds, geriatric pruritus, xerosis, and malignancies, alongside strategies for integrating dermatologic care into broader geriatric medicine. Special emphasis will be placed on multidisciplinary collaboration, patient safety, and the role of emerging therapies in improving skin health in elderly populations.

Key Topics:

Skin aging and fragility – Clinical features of thinning skin, reduced elasticity, and impaired barrier function.
Chronic ulcers and wound care – Evidence‑based approaches to diabetic, venous, and pressure ulcers in elderly patients.
Geriatric pruritus and xerosis – Recognition and management of common age‑related symptoms.
Malignancies in elderly populations – Diagnosis and treatment of skin cancers in older adults.
Multimorbidity and dermatologic care – Integrating dermatology into comprehensive geriatric management.

Learning Objectives:

Recognize age‑related changes in skin structure and function.
Diagnose and manage chronic ulcers and wounds in elderly patients.
Address pruritus and xerosis with evidence‑based interventions.
Apply tailored strategies for skin cancer management in older adults.
Integrate dermatologic care into multidisciplinary geriatric practice.
