Black tumors are a frequent reason for consultation in dermatological practice. Every dermatologist's main concern is to rule out cutaneous melanoma. We propose a hybrid simulation scenario for dermatology residents, with the objectives of dermoscopically diagnosing melanoma among other pigmented skin lesions, and then announcing the diagnostic suspicion to the simulated patient.A hybrid simulator consisting of a mannequin torso bearing pigmented skin lesions and a simulated patient was set up in the simulation room. A digital dermoscope and a computer were required. The target audience consists of 4 dermatology residents.The clinical situation presented is that of a patient consulting for the modification of one of the pigmented lesions he has on his back. After welcoming the patient, the learner examines the pigmented lesions on a mannequin's torso, and interprets aloud the corresponding dermoscopic image, which he or she visualizes on a computer screen. During the debriefing, the trainer discusses the various stages of the scenario, using Contextualization-Decontextualization-Recontextualization loops.

Vulvodynia is a painful genital syndrome that occurs in 7% to 8% of women. Although common, most practitioners find it difficult to diagnose and treat. They have a multifactorial origin. A woman's vulvodynia may reveal psychosexual problems, relating to herself, her partner or the relationship within the couple. Such patients require a multidisciplinary approach involving dermatologist, psychiatrist and psychologist. The dermatologist should communicate effectively with his or her patients about their sexual problems, identify the etiology of these problems and manage them appropriately. Effective doctor-patient communication considerably improves patients' quality of life. In the management of these disorders, a simple and effective treatment is sex education, as ignorance of the sexual response cycle and SR is common in the majority of these patients.
