- Abstract
The author argues in favor of dermatoepidemiology that aims to improve people's understanding of skin diseases, has clinical relevance and/or improves patient care and/or disease prevention. Topics discussed include the upside and downside of the hypothesis-generating aspect of epidemiological studies, the impact of the digital revolution on epidemiology, and the role of epidemiology in reporting and interpreting observational research. The future challenges for dermatoepidemiology are cited.
