Sue guides viewers on how to identify the underlying causes and use both visual and cytological exams to select appropriate topical treatments. She also covers treatment strategies for generalised allergic skin disease, discusses the role of steroids, and showcases different cases to highlight the importance of multi-modal therapy.
