Men’s engagement with primary care services is critically in addressing men’s health disparities. Evidence highlights those men, particularly those of working age, use primary care services significantly less frequently than women. This under use has profound implications, contributing to delayed diagnoses or missed opportunities for early intervention in critical conditions such as hypertension, diabetes and mental health disorders. The reluctance to seek care may stem from various factors, including cultural norms around masculinity, work-related time constraints and a lack of awareness or prioritisation of health. Addressing these barriers is essential to improve men’s health outcomes and reduce preventable morbidity and mortality.

This presentation will look at recognition, differential diagnosis and management of six common facial skin conditions. Firstly, we will look at assessment in dermatology, clinical history and examination for recognition and diagnosis of facial skin conditions. Differential diagnosis and facial skin conditions discussed will include acne, rosacea, perioral dermatitis, seborrhoeic dermatitis, contact dermatitis and lupus erythematous. We will look at evidence-based management and holistic patient support, including quality of life issues and when patients should be referred to dermatology. This will be an interactive case-based learning presentation.
