<bold>Objectives:</bold> To identify the dermatological system drugs that may be prescribed by Chinese dermatological nurses through expert consensus.
<bold>Methods:</bold> A 2-round study, consisting of 32 medical and nursing experts, was conducted using the Delphi method from September 2019 to June 2020. Microsoft Excel 2019 and IBM SPSS Ver. 22 were used to analyze the results of the consultations.
<bold>Results:</bold> A total of 63 drugs across 13 categories were identified as relevant to Chinese nurses working in dermatological departments.

<bold>Conclusions:</bold> This expert consensus determines the prescription drugs that may be prescribed by dermatology nurses in China, which can be used as the key content of prescription drug training for dermatology nurses in future.
