Since this is not a common situation, it’s hard to know but…….. here are some things to think about. Some people are irritated by or mildly allergic to chemicals in...
There really isn’t a good answer for this because there is no data on it. But, from a common sense approach, your best bet is to get skin exams regularly...
You didn’t mention your age but you bring up a good point and I would like to emphasize it again for everyone. If you have specific spots that are red,...
Thank you for writing this. You did exactly the right thing!! There are brown spots that can be melanomas or lentigo maligna or “pre melanomas” – also called dysplastic nevi. I just...

One of the best investments in your skin is your daily skincare. Why? Because you can prevent many problems with blotchy skin color, lack of glow, texture, some types of acne, and fine lines with good skincare products. You can also correct some of these problems with effective skincare products. Great skincare is often more expensive because quality ingredients are expensive. Some companies spend on research/development which benefits all of us and adds to the cost. Are they worth it? In general - yes! I have handpicked some of what I consider to be the best skin care products, and offer them for sale on SkinTour's shop. This is based on my team and I's testing and research at our clinic. Many of the products are in my own regimen. What could be better than using skin care products a dermatologist uses?!
