Seemingly out of nowhere you’ve developed a red, scaly rash. How many possible diagnoses could there be?
Literally hundreds.
The cause of red, scaly rashes are one of the trickiest issues to diagnose. In fact, the red scaly rashes in the photos below look fairly similar, but are dramatically different diagnoses ranging from fungal infections to skin cancer.
In our dermatology textbooks, it’s called papulosquamous disorder — and it’s a 20... 
Do you have brown spots on your skin?
If you’re like most people, your answer is “yes.”
You either have freckles, moles, birthmarks, or a combination of all three. We don’t think much about them. They’re just a part of the state of our skin. We assume if it was cancer, it would look like it.

Thin skin is a common effect of sun exposure and aging, but we can always work toward preventing further damage. Here’s your guide to understanding your skin’s t... 
Men, how often do you think about skin care?

Why is dry skin so prevalent among men? Because most men forget to moisturize. And advertising doesn’t help. Skin care products for men are only recently hitting the market, while many products still target women.
But in reality, men’s and women’s skin are ... 
Want to revive dull skin, remove impurities, and minimize your pores – all with one simple product? Of course you do! But contrary to what advertising claims, those aren’t the real effects of exfoliators and scrubs.
Exfoliators in almost every product line boast of how they banish dead skin, dirt, oil, and impurities, but they fail to mention that scrubs harm your skin more than they help.
