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).

If you (or someone you care about) is considering Mohs surgery, here’s what you need to know about how ... 
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... 
Squamous cell carcinoma is the second most common skin cancer. Think of it as the middle child of skin cancers — it’s not the same as basal cell carcinoma (the most common), and it’s not as unpredictable as melanoma (the third most common). In fact, a lot of people gloss over it altogether.
But squamous cell carcinoma is nothing to ignore. In fact, the more you know about it, the better your chances of preventing and treating it.

What do you think of when you hear about melanoma?For most people, assumptions about melanoma are bleak, to say the least. As the third most common skin cancer, melanoma can be scary for the layperson because of the grim prognosis it often carries. Melanoma accounts for about 1% of all skin cancers but causes the majority of skin cancer deaths. And the rates of melanoma are rising.
