We’ve all heard the term “athlete’s foot,” but do you actually know what it is?
Athlete’s foot is a fungal infection on the feet. Think of mold growing on your foot (that’s the basic concept!) and just as mold continues to spread unless you treat it correctly, athlete’s foot continues to grow on your skin.
As the fungus grows, it causes a scaly dermatitis that can itch, sting, and burn. If left untreated, this fungal skin infection ... 
We’ve all had our share of whiteheads and blackheads.
They seem to pop up out of nowhere, leaving us struggling to make them disappear as quickly as they arrived – but it’s usually not quite that easy. No one wants them, but until you understand what causes whiteheads and blackheads, it’s hard to know how to treat them.
What are whiteheads and what makes them different than blackheads or other types of acne?
More importantly, how do we...

Do you miss your youthful look?
Sure, you’ve learned some tricks of the trade in the hair and makeup department over the past 20 years, but there’s only so much you can do at home to turn back the clock.
For a while, good concealer and over-the-counter creams did the trick. But now you find yourself wondering how to make your eyes look younger since these products no longer seem to help.
If you look in the mirror and can’t help but notic... 
A non-healing wound can be devastating.
The pain is intense, and the wound is gaping, not to mention, it’s interfering with your life. You can’t work and interact like normal. The pain, appearance, and care of the ulcer is just too much.
Maybe you’ve sought treatment — but it’s just not working.
And when an ulcer isn’t responding to therapy, it may be time to explore the possibility of a less common cause of your non-healing ulcera... 
If you are losing your eyebrows, sideburns, or front hairline, you may be dealing with more than just an age-dependent hair loss. You could be facing a dermatological condition called frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA).
Never heard of it? Neither had dermatologists 25 years ago. Many doctors today still mistakenly assume people are facing patterned baldness when they see frontotemporal hair loss, but recent studies are granting us more insight into wh...

It was first developed to treat non-melanoma skin cancers but is now used to remove many types of skin cancer. Many surgeons are even using Mohs surgery for melanoma. It’s highly effective, tissue-sparing, and offers a quick recovery with excellent cosmetic results.
If you (or someone you care about) is considering Mohs surgery, here’s what you need to know about how ... 
Hair loss doesn’t just happen to older people. Hair loss doesn’t just happen to men, either. Despite our stereotypes, hair loss affects people of all ages. We see it in everyone, from teenage boys and girls to elderly men and women. Most patients come to us once they notice shedding. Their baseline hair growth just can’t keep up with the amount of shedding they’re having. Their hair keeps falling out, but there’s not enough to replace it. No... 
Most people are unfamiliar with the different types of skin cancer. We may confuse basal, squamous, and melanoma thinking of them as variations of the same disease — but they’re not. In dermatology, we’re constantly asked questions like, “Will this basal cell turn into melanoma?” As far as skin cancers go, basal cell carcinoma and melanoma are polar opposites.
Whether you’re dealing with a recent skin cancer diagnosis for yourself or s...
