Each year, there are >27 million visits to dermatologists and >5 million new skin cancers diagnosed, most in older adults. While there are many skin conditions that are common in both younger and older adults, there are certain important principles that make geriatric dermatology different from general dermatology. Taken together these principles can guide clinicians in making appropriate treatment decisions for skin diseases that are more likely to help older patients and improve their quality of life. With limited literature, these principles should be the backbone of decision making.
