Aging is associated with significant changes to skin structure and function, which lead to distinct clinical needs in geriatric dermatology patients. By understanding the relationship between altered skin function with aging and the clinical implications for geriatric dermatology patients, dermatologists can guide a preventative regimen and manage age-related skin pathology. The second article of this 2-part continuing medical education series reviews the most common conditions affecting geriatric dermatology patients and specific treatment considerations with a focus on the impact of age-related skin barrier dysfunction.
