An early episode on dermatology showcased the podiatrist Belinda Longhurst. That instance of PodChatLive surprised the hosts because they weren't that specifically considering the subject, however it earned so much attention it is more or less the most looked at and most listened to episode that they have done. It opened the hosts eyes towards doing more episodes on ideas that will not always be of most interest for them, however do draw in a broad audience. In this stream on dermatology numerous subjects were talked about such as the latest for the treatment of the really frequent problems seen in podiatry practice such as onychomycosis and plantar verrucae were discussed. They also discussed the amount of pseudoscience within dermatology in podiatry there was and how traditionally used methods such as aqueous cream as well as tea tree oil obviously have no place in any way in present day evidence informed practice. That did amaze lots of listeners, judging by the feedback on Facebook. The episode also included plenty of excellent clinical pearls like a listing for spotting cancerous lesions on the skin, how the lions share of what looks like it's anhidrosis almost certainly fungal and even more!
