Who Runs the Vulva? A Dermatologist-Gynecologist Smackdown
Let’s talk about vulvas, baby! In this laugh-and-learn episode of Labia Logic, we’re diving deep (pun very much intended) into a part of women’s health that too often gets glossed over—vulvar dermatology.
Dr. Melissa Mausker joins Drs. Ashley Fuller and Meredith McClure for this episode to chat all about what it means to specialize in vulvar dermatology, why collaboration between dermatologists and gynecologists is so crucial, and how education and mentorship are shaping the future of this often-overlooked field. Dr. Mausker’s resident Krsitin Schiele, MD joins for part of the conversation too. She chimes in on beginning her career in dermatology and the importance of mentorship within the field.
It’s not just about itching and burning (though yes, we cover that too)—it’s about building a better understanding of the skin below the belt and breaking down the taboo around vulvar health. Expect practical tips, empowering insights, and knowing which vulvar care products make the expert-approved cut.
