Ethics of selling skin care.
One of the most controversial topics surrounding the practice of dermatology is in-office dispensing of nonprescription skin care products by dermatologists. The controversy is not new, with legitimate arguments debated for and against it. The ongoing debate will continue, emotionally charged and with sharply demarcated battle lines, but without the promise of ever reaching a consensus. Regardless of one's position, the objective is to develop strategies to improve the practice of dermatology and the welfare of patients.
