Side effect jiu-jitsu.

Jiu-jitsu, a martial art form originally developed by the samurai class in seventeenth century Japan, is often translated to “gentle art” or “to conquer by yielding” (1–2). Jiu-jitsu relies not on weapons or brute strength, but the manipulation of an opponent’s force and anatomy against himself. An opponent is disarmed quietly, often with no awareness of the attack, as the power of jiu-jitsu lies in its subtle nature. Dermatologists may adopt the same tenets of jiu-jitsu, utilizing the side effects of commonly prescribed medications to promote patient adherence, improve overall treatment outcome, and successfully grapple with skin diseases.
