- Abstract
This article discusses the lack of training and education on menopause care for dermatologists. While dermatologists frequently encounter skin-related symptoms associated with menopause, such as hair loss and acne, there is a noticeable gap in their training regarding menopause. Dermatology textbooks and educational materials often overlook menopause and fail to provide comprehensive information on menopausal symptoms and treatment options. The article emphasizes the need for updated terminology, enhanced education, and interdisciplinary care to bridge the knowledge gap and provide better care for women going through menopause. The UK has made progress in addressing this issue, but more work is needed globally.
