Melanoma Signs & Prevention
Melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer, but early detection significantly improves outcomes. It can develop in existing moles or appear as a new growth.
Key Facts:
- Use the ABCDE rule to monitor moles: Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, Diameter (>6mm), Evolving.
- Regular self-exams and annual professional skin checks are crucial for prevention.
- Daily broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen and sun-protective clothing are your best defense.
Acne Causes & Treatments
Acne is a common skin condition affecting people of all ages, caused by clogged hair follicles, excess oil, bacteria, and inflammation.
Treatment Options:
- Topical treatments: retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, and antibiotics to reduce bacteria and inflammation.
- Oral medications: antibiotics, hormonal therapies, or isotretinoin for severe cases.
- In-office procedures: chemical peels, laser therapy, and extraction to improve skin texture and clarity.
Eczema Triggers & Care Tips
Eczema (atopic dermatitis) causes inflamed, itchy, and cracked skin. It's a chronic condition that often flares in response to specific triggers.
Management Strategies:
- Identify and avoid triggers: common ones include harsh soaps, wool fabrics, stress, and certain foods.
- Maintain a consistent moisturizing routine with fragrance-free, hypoallergenic creams or ointments.
- Prescription topical steroids or newer non-steroidal options can control inflammation during flare-ups.
