Summer Sun-Safe Tips Ã¢Ëœâ‚¬Ã¯¸

It’s time to dig out your swimsuit and shelve your sweaters: Summer is official here! We hope you have all sorts of fun plans for the season, like visiting the beach, strolling through a state fair, or taking a hike in nature. We have just one piece of advice: Make sure that you’re taking care of your skin as you enjoy the summer sun. Below are a few everyday tips for lowering your risk of sunburn and skin cancer.

Ã°Å¸â€˜â€™ Wear a hat: A hat with a brim will keep sunlight from hitting your face directly, helping you to avoid UV damage. The wider the brim, the better!

Ã°Å¸â€˜â€¢ Cover up when you can: If you can comfortably wear long sleeves or long pants, the fabric will help to keep your skin from burning in the sun.

Ã¢Ëœâ€šÃ¯¸ Pack a parasol: When you’re walking through an area without much shade cover, bring your own shade! If you want to be extra careful, choose a parasol with a UPF value. UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection FactorÃ¢â‚¬â€like SPF, but for fabric. Parasols (and clothes) with a UPF value are proven to screen out harmful UV rays.

Ã°Å¸â€˜§ Slather on sunscreen: Sometimes, you can’t avoid the sun hitting your skin. You might not always want to avoid it! Just cover any exposed skin in sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. If you need to stock up, you’re in luck: We’re selling some of our favorite, dermatologist-recommended sunscreen brands at 20% off.

However you choose to protect your skin, we hope it helps you enjoy the season. If you have any concerns, or if you want a personalized plan for your skin health, just make an appointment with us. Happy summer!

Yours in good health,

Your West Dermatology Team

Are Sunscreen Chemicals Dangerous? Ã¢Ëœâ‚¬Ã¯¸Ã¢Ëœ Ã¯¸

Are Sunscreen Chemicals Dangerous? Ã¢Ëœâ‚¬Ã¯¸Ã¢Ëœ Ã¯¸

May 22, 2019

Home » Page 31

Since CNN published a news story about sunscreen earlier this month, there’s been a lot of buzz in the media and we have been receiving a ton of questions. In a nutshell, the story says that the four main chemicals used in chemical sunscreensÃ¢â‚¬â€avobenzone, oxybenzone, ecamsule, and octocryleneÃ¢â‚¬â€require more research before the FDA can label them “safe and effective.” The story also summarizes a new study showing that these chemicals absorb into the bloodstream at high levels, which has triggered a government safety investigation.

That all sounds pretty scary, but rest assured that in reality, sun protection isn’t as risky as it may seem. There’s no conclusive proof that sunscreen chemicals harm the body after they are absorbed.

“These ingredients have been used for decades without any reported internal side effects in humans,” says Dr. Jessica Riley, a dermatologist at our Encinitas and San Clemente clinics. Plus, the participants in the research study applied about twice as much sunscreen as people do in the real world, so the results they saw probably wouldn’t resemble those of a regular sunscreen user.

On the other hand, these chemicals haven’t been deemed innocent, either. “For a long time, no one thought that smoking was bad for you until it was scientifically proven,” says Dr. Riley. To be as safe as possible, use physical sunscreen, the kind that relies on zinc or titanium dioxide to deflect the sun’s rays. Dr. Riley always recommends that pregnant women and children use these kinds of sunscreens, which (as an added bonus) are the most effective.

Better yet, depend on something other than sunscreen for your main source of protection. “The first line of sun defense should be protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses, and sunscreen should be the last line,” says Dr. Riley.

The important thing is that you don’t let stories like these scare you away from sunscreen altogether. UV rays are inarguably dangerous and, unlike sunscreen, are proven to cause skin cancer, which is the most common cancer in the US. Choose a method of sun protection that feels right for you and stick to it! If you have any questions about how to keep your skin safe, from the sun or anything else, just make an appointment and we will talk you through it.

We even sell recommended sunscreen brands in our clinic (at 20% off this month!). See you in the sunscreen aisle!

The 10-minute, non-invasive melanoma test Ã°Å¸Å¡«Ã¢Å“â€šÃ¯¸

The 10-minute, non-invasive melanoma test Ã°Å¸Å¡«Ã¢Å“â€šÃ¯¸

April 29, 2019

Getting a skin spot checked is easy and painless, but some patients have to endure a little discomfort if their spot looks suspicious. That’s because, to check for skin cancer, our dermatologists have typically had to cut away a small skin sample, which makes some patients anxious. Thanks to a new technology, all that’s changing. We’re proud to use the new Pigmented Lesion Assay (PLA) test, which takes just minutes and doesn’t require any cutting of the skin.

The test takes skin cell samples with four adhesive patches, each one roughly the size of a quarter, which then go to a lab. The PLA rules out melanoma with 99% accuracy, and better yet, makes a lot of formerly routine surgeries unnecessary.

Best of all, it could lead to improved long-terms outcomes for melanoma sufferers. Using the PLA means that dermatologists can direct more time and resources toward patients with malignant growths, and the PLA removes a psychological barrier to getting tested in the first place. Early-stage melanoma is far more treatable than late-stage, so the decision to get tested early could save a life.

“The DermTech Adhesive Skin technology really has been a game-changer in my clinical dermatology practice,” says Dr. Stacey Tompkins in our La Jolla office. “I now can offer my patients the latest, cutting-edge tests to help determine if a mole is at risk for being or turning into a malignant melanoma. With four simple tape applications to the mole, the DermTech assay can tell us if a pigmented lesion is at low, moderate or high risk for being malignant by looking at certain high risk genetic markers. There is no cutting of the skin involved. This is such a tremendous boon for patients, as we can now assess a pigmented growth without having to cut the patient to obtain tissue. Many of my patients have been biopsied traditionally so many times, they are thrilled now to have this option.”

With the PLA, getting precise, cell-level data is as easy as a DNA ancestry kit, but in our case, we’re getting information to protect patients’ lives.

Dr. Brook Brouha recently had a young female patient with a mildly suspicious lesion on the back of her neck. “Given the age of the patient I’m not sure I would have done an invasive biopsy on this lesion. Since I have the non-invasive PLA test in my office, I chose to do that first. The test came back highly suggestive of Melanoma… Having the PLA gave me an additional option to obtain objective information to guide my clinical treatment decision!”

If you think you might be a candidate for the test, or if you have a child or needle-phobic person in the family, just make an appointment with one of our board-certified dermatologists. We’ll get you answers as quickly and painlessly as possible.

Why does our skin age? Ã°Å¸â€˜µÃ°Å¸â€˜´

Why does our skin age? Ã°Å¸â€˜µÃ°Å¸â€˜´

April 23, 2019

Your skin probably doesn’t look the same as it did 15 years ago. (If it does, please share your secrets!) Both your DNA and external factors, like UV exposure, diet, exercise and your favorite sleeping position, determine how you age. As the years pass, the skin tends to get looser, dryer, and less even-looking for everyone.

Now for the good newsÃ¢â‚¬â€you can keep up a youthful look with smart daily choices and non-invasive procedures. Keep scrolling to read about some of the most common signs of aging and how you can turn them around.

Sun Exposure: Ã¢Ëœâ‚¬Ã¯¸

THE CAUSE: Daily sun exposure

THE RESULT: UV rays break down collagen and elastin, which form the flexible tissue under the skin’s surface. When that connective tissue breaks down, the skin gets weaker and less elastic, and that’s a recipe for sagging and wrinkles. Making matters worse, UV rays also damage skin at a DNA level which can leave dark spots and cause the development of skin cancer.

THE FIX: Sunscreen with an SPF of 30+ limits your UV exposure and prevents sun damage before it starts. We sell dermatologist-recommended brands in all our offices! If you’re already seeing sun damage, chemical peels or a variety of lasers including IPL photofacials can help reverse it with minimal downtime.

Facial Expressions: Ã°Å¸Ëœâ€˜

THE CAUSE: Repetitive facial expressions and your chosen sleeping position

THE RESULT: As the skin ages, it naturally grows less flexible. When it folds or creasesÃ¢â‚¬â€maybe because you’re smiling, frowning, or resting against a pillowÃ¢â‚¬â€it eventually stops snapping back as easily. Over time, those folds and creases become permanent.

THE FIX: Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or the new Jeuveau relaxes facial muscles, keeping them from bunching skin together and creating creases. That relaxed appearance smooths existing wrinkles and helps prevent new ones from forming.

Loss of Collagen: Ã°Å¸Å’Å

THE CAUSE: Natural loss of collagen and hyaluronic acid

THE RESULT: When your skin ages, it holds less of these substances, resulting in a drier texture and a thinned out look.

THE FIX: Dermal fillers like Restylane or Juvederm family or Belotero can re-infuse the skin with hyaluronic acid, which leads to a firmer and smoother appearance.

Want to get closer to the fountain of youth? If you’re searching for the best anti-aging strategy for you, we’re here to help. Make an appointment and we’ll keep your skin looking its best for years to come.

Yours in good health (and good looks),

How to protect your skin against itchy, sneezy allergy season Ã¢Ëœâ‚¬Ã¯¸Ã°Å¸Å’·Ã°Å¸¤§

How to protect your skin against itchy, sneezy allergy season Ã¢Ëœâ‚¬Ã¯¸Ã°Å¸Å’·Ã°Å¸¤§

For some people, spring weather means travelling with Kleenex at all times. Seasonal allergies can be a bear, and they don’t just affect your nose and sinuses – they affect your skin, too. Below, we’ve explained a few skin problems that seasonal allergies can cause, so you can stay prepared, plus how to solve them.

Dark circles: Seasonal allergies can mean more fluid in the veins, which shows through the skin under the eyes as dark circles. Though dark circles aren’t uncomfortable, some people combat them with under-eye creams containing caffeine or cover them up with cosmetic concealers. We love Sente’s Illumine Eye Cream or Colorescience Total Eye.

Puffy eyes: If you’re allergic to pollen or mold, your eyes may become irritated, water, and puff up in the spring. Lessen the swelling by taking antihistamines, wearing a cold compress, or (even though it’s no fun) spending time indoors.

Aggravated eczema: Those with eczema are extra vulnerable to itchy, irritated skin during allergy season, and annoyingly, scratching only makes symptoms worse! We recommend that people with eczema stock up on SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Masque or Pomega Healing cream, which will alleviate the irritation.

Red nose: Nasal congestion and sneezing are maybe the best-known allergy symptoms. Those symptoms can affect your skin, too, if you rub your runny nose, which will make the area red, flaky, and sore. To bring down the redness, choose your tissues carefully and pick a brand with added lotion or calming ingredients. Then, apply a non-irritating moisturizer to the area to soothe the inflamed skin. We recommend Calecim’s Recovery Night Complex.

Whatever seasonal allergy symptoms you may have, we’re here to answer questions, look at anything concerning, and above all, help you live more comfortably. Enjoy the brighter days, and come see us when you need us.

Yours in good health,

How To Choose The Right Dermatologist for Your Chronic Skin Condition

How To Choose The Right Dermatologist for Your Chronic Skin Condition

March 15, 2019

Is it a rash? A bad breakout? Or are you developing a persistent skin problem that is affecting your health, comfort and self-confidence? Chronic skin conditions such as psoriasis, rosacea, acne and eczema can be painful and debilitating. While a general practitioner may be able to diagnose your skin problem, only the expertise and experience of a dermatologist can diagnose, comprehensively relieve symptoms, treat the specific skin condition and provide overall care for the body’s largest organ.

However, it can be stressful trying to find the right dermatologist. Here are tips on selecting the right dermatologist Ã¢â‚¬â€œso you get the healthcare you need, and the medical attention you deserve.

Seek Medical Dermatologist Referrals in Hillcrest

Ask your primary care doctor for a list of dermatologists to help narrow down your options. Also ask family, friends and other healthcare practitioners for recommendations. Once you’ve come up with a list, call each dermatologist’s office. Schedule a consult appointment so you can meet and interview the dermatologist.

Do Your Homework on San Diego Medical Dermatologists

Be proactive and take time to read the bios or profiles of dermatologists. Bios present overviews of their education, memberships and achievements Ã¢â‚¬â€œall relevant information for a potential patient like you. As for credentials, board certification is a key factor to consider. As well as whether the practice accepts your medical insurance.

Also take time to research the practice as a whole. Read patient satisfaction surveys which ask people about their experiences when it comes to scheduling appointments, staff friendliness and waiting time. Reviews on Google can be helpful too. All these testimonials from past and current patients could help you decide whether to move forward with a dermatologist or not.

Assess How the Doctor Communicates With You

You should be able to comfortably hold a conversation with your dermatologist. Carefully observe how a doctor responds to your questions.

Is he or she confident?
Are all your questions welcomed?
Do you feel engaged when being spoken to?

A good dermatologist should show interest in getting to know you, while respecting your decisions. And keep in mind that being able to employ an effective communication style could help lead to faster recovery.

Location, Location, Location

When you live in a big city, location is key. If you’re searching for a medical dermatologist in San Diego for instance, you’ll need to find a clinic that is easily accessible to you without a lot of travel time. Additionally, don’t underestimate the importance of having available parking at your dermatologist’s office. Luckily, West Dermatology has 3 locations in San Diego: Hillcrest, La Jolla/UTC, and Encinitas.

Treating Chronic Skin Conditions with a Medical Dermatologist in San Diego

Chronic skin conditions make up 31% of all dermatology visits annually. Whether you have a serious skin condition or perhaps, you’ve found an irregularity after doing a skin self-check, choosing a dermatologist is a crucial, as well as personal decision. We hope these tips help you make an informed decision on finding the right practitioner.
