According to an editorial, this study calls attention to prescribing habits, which, left unchecked, would have this speciality continuing to prescribe more oral antibiotics per clinician than practitioners in any other medical discipline. It adds that on a positive note, overall antibiotic prescribing rates among dermatologists did decrease by 36.6%. However, there were increases in short-term antibiotic use related to surgical procedures and cysts and there is still room to continue to improve in prescribing of long-term antibiotics for conditions such as acne, rosacea, and hidradenitis suppurativa.
