description Dermatologists prescribe teratogenic or potentially teratogenic medications to treat a variety of skin diseases, including spironolactone for hormonal dysregulation in hidradenitis suppurativa or isotretinoin for severe acne.

A lack of knowledge regarding emergency contraceptive options may represent a practice gap for dermatologists.
