It's time for another "A Word from Your Derm" featuring Dr. Purser.
“Vitiligo is an autoimmune condition where the skin’s pigment-making cells (melanocytes) are being inappropriately damaged by a person’s own immune system. To treat, we typically use topical anti-inflammatories to calm down this immune response.”
It is important to remember that you do NOT have to treat vitiligo and that all skin is beautiful - but if you wish to treat it, there are many options. π«Ά

Have you ever heard of Vitiligo?
Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes the loss of pigment-producing cells in the skin, resulting in lighter patches of skin and hair. It can affect people of ALL ages, skin types, and ethnic backgrounds.
While vitiligo isn't contagious or life-threatening, it can have a significant emotional & social impact on those living with the condition.
This month, we're sharing facts, treatment options, and resources to help increase understanding and awareness of vitiligo. π«Ά

Better late than never, right? It’s been a ~busy~ month with transitioning to our new Electronic Medical Record system (thank you for your patience everyone!) but we had to still honor our May Employee of the Month, Megan! She makes great connections with patients, is a very fast learner (which will bode well for her in PA school) & is always a positive team member. Thank you for all you do, Megan!

A little prep goes a long way before your skin check!
Bring your history, your questions, and any concerns you want to discuss during the exam. Wear something easy to change out of, remove makeup if you’d like a facial exam, and know that you’ll ALWAYS have a safe space here to talk openly with your provider. π«ΆπΌ

Some types of Rosacea respond best to oral medications, while others improve most with laser treatments. That’s why a thorough exam is important to determine your specific subtype and create the most effective treatment plan. β€οΈ

Rosacea is more than just redness - it’s a chronic condition that can look different for everyone. Check out some quick facts about this condition!

It's time for A Word from Your Derm, this time from Dr. Brown!
"Many patients with rosacea deal with a burning or stinging sensation on their face. To combat this, use cold water when cleansing, paired with a cleanser that has no fragrance or harsh ingredients. Vanicream is my favorite!"
Let’s break down the 4 main types of rosacea! Not all “redness” is the same, and treatment really depends on what you’re actually dealing with.β€
Type 1:
This one shows up as persistent redness with visible tiny blood vessels. Patients often notice flushing that comes and goes at first, then sticks around for awhile.
Type 2:
The most common type - and the one people mistake for acne. You’ll see redness plus bumps (papules and pustules), but without the blackheads you’d expect with acne.
Type 3:
Less common, but more advanced. This type causes thickened, uneven, oily skin - most often on the nose (rhinophyma). It’s seen more frequently in older men.
Type 4:
This affects the eyes rather than the skin. Think dryness, irritation, a gritty or burning sensation, and sometimes swelling of the eyelids. It can show up alone or alongside skin symptoms.
This is why a proper evaluation with your dermatologist matters - because each subtype is treated differently. For example, oral medications aren’t very helpful for Type 1 since the issue is dilated blood vessels, not inflammation. On the contrary, creams aren't very helpful for Type 3 since the issue is thickened skin, rather than pustules.

Today is National Sibling Day!
One of our fav studies relevant to Dermatology is the "Twin Study" . Led by Dr. Guyuron in 2009, this study analyzed the effects of lifestyle choices on the aging process, providing evidence of how even with identical DNA, differences in sun exposure can lead to *significant* changes in the skin.
These changes aren't just cosmetic, but reveal a deeper level of sun damage that leads to skin cancer.
TAG YOUR SIBLING IN THE COMMENTS TO REMIND THEM TO WEAR SUNSCREEN π§΄πβ

April is Rosacea Awareness Month! β€οΈπ©·
Rosacea isn’t just “sensitive” or "red" skin. It’s a CHRONIC & frustrating condition that causes redness, flushing, visible and even sometimes broken blood vessels, and breakouts that look like acne.
Throughout this month, we're going to share info on different types of rosacea, things that tend to trigger rosacea, & all the different treatment options.

Happy First Day of Spring! πΈπΌπ
You might be spring cleaning your home - why not spring clean your skincare routine too? Here are a few reminders to keep your skin healthy this spring.
π· Re-apply sunscreen every 2 hours. Warmer weather = more time outdoors & more opportunity for sun damage to accumulate.
π· Simplify your routine. Less is almost always more when it comes to skincare. A 10-step skincare routine is not necessary for results.
π· Be consistent. Treating skin concerns like acne, rosacea, or pigmentation takes time - many treatments work best when used regularly.
π· Choose gentle products. We always recommend avoiding harsh formulas and fragranced skincare items.
