In case you’re wondering — YES, you spray it directly on your face. Afrin nasal spray can help reduce redness, but the effects are TEMPORARY. This works for FLUSHING of the face, which means fluctuations in redness associated with stress/heat/sun/alcohol or other triggers. This does NOT work well for fixed blood vessels on the skin or for other types of rosacea such as papulopustular or rhinophymatous. Again, NOT meant for daily application. Best saved for weddings and parties and special events when you really need to look less flushed. If this helps one person, then my work here is not in vein (yes that’s a pun.) #rosacea #Afrin #rhofade #oxymetazoline #rednessrelief #rednessrelief #flushed #reduceredness #treatredness #rosaceatreatment #sunscreen #skincare #skincareroutine #skincaresteps #dermatology #dermatologist #boardcertified #shorts

This video explains the THREE main reasons why your own internet research may cause more harm than good. I address common problems and pitfalls with finding accurate medical answers online. I discuss medical search engines such as PubMed, problems with getting past research paywalls, and the overwhelming task of translating medical jargon. ?? PubMed: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ ??

A board-certified dermatologist explains the EVIDENCE behind lanolin for the skin, specifically pertaining to lanolin allergies. I explain why the American Contact Dermatitis Society has flagged lanolin for its potential to cause allergic contact dermatitis. I dive into the STUDY that led to this decision, and whether or not their results should be taken at face value… or with a grain of salt. I also explore other common skin allergies, such as nickel allergy and fragrance allergy. In this video, you will learn where lanolin comes from and why it is a popular additive in topical skincare products. After watching this video, you will be able to decide for yourself if you should AVOID lanolin, or if it is safe for the general population. I discuss my recommendations regarding lanolin for the skin based on my research. All evidence. No gimmicks. ?? Hypomanic Edge (book): https://geni.us/HypomanicEdge ??

A board-certified dermatologist explains the relationship between food allergies and eczema (atopic dermatitis). I uncover the common misconceptions about food allergies and how they relate to a compromised skin barrier as seen in eczema. I explore how our immune system differentiates between food (good guy) and pathogens (bad guys). I walk through the cause of food allergies and how food allergies such as peanut allergies start. I review some of the common food allergens and allergy-prone foods. I discuss allergy prevention strategies such as early introduction of common allergens. Finally, I offer some recommended early introduction products that may help prevent allergies in kids. ?? Early Allergen Introduction (Solid Foods): https://geni.us/AllergensSolidFoods ??

A board-certified dermatologist discusses psoriasis treatment in five steps. I condense years worth of studying and clinical experience to create a simplified psoriasis treatment algorithm. I discuss topical steroids as well as steroid alternatives such as calcipotriene, tacrolimus, and tapinarof. I review local corticosteroid injections and ultraviolet light treatments. I also explain various oral medications used for psoriasis and their general side effects. I include a special note on prednisone and its specific precautions. I explain the numerous biologic medications for psoriasis treatment and how they act differently on our immune system. Biologics discussed include Humira (adalimumab), Enbrel (etanercept), Cimzia (certolizumab), Remicade (infliximab), Stelara (ustekinumab), Skyrizi (risankizumab), Tremfya (guselkumab), Ilumya (tildrakizumab), Taltz (ixekizumab), Cosentyx (secukinumab), and Siliq (brodalumab). Finally, I conclude with a Pro Tip that is crucial to know before initiating treatment. This Pro Tip is often missed by patients and dermatologists alike. Shampoos for psoriasis are NOT discussed in this video. ?? This video is not sponsored. ?? Disclaimer: This video does not constitute personal medical advice.

A board-certified dermatologist discusses the 3 most common nail mistakes patients make that can damage their nails. As a dermatologist who has trained under world renowned hair and nail experts, I teach the tips and tricks of nail health that often go overlooked. Even many dermatologists do not have sufficient nail experience to guide their recommendations. I discuss the critical components of the nail unit including the nail matrix, the nail bed, and the nail plate. I explain how these areas can become damaged, and the consequences of each. I briefly discuss nail infections (paronychia) and nail bed scarring. This video does NOT discuss medications, vitamins, or supplements for nail health. Look out for an upcoming video on that topic! ?? Some images were obtained from DermNet (https://dermnetnz.org/topics/habit-tic-deformity) ?? This video is not sponsored. ??
