  • What vitamin should I take for hair loss?

    Vitamins can definitely play a role in hair health. My favorite over the counter vitamins are Viviscal and Nutrafol. Keep in mind there are many reasons a person may experience hair loss. It is best to see a dermatologist for proper evaluation. Vitamins alone may not be enough. A dermatologist will be able to determine if hair loss is genetic or due to an underlying medical condition.

  • Will hair grow back after a fungal infection?

    Tinea capitis is the clinical term for a fungal infection involving the scalp. Typically, if the fungus is adequately treated the hair will grow back. In rare cases, the fungus can get down into the hair follicles and cause enough inflammation that scarring occurs. Unfortunately, that may lead to permanent hair loss. READ MORE

  • How do you kill fungus in your nail?

    If only a few nails are involved, a topical antifungal treatment will likely be enough to clear it. If the nail fungus is chronic or involves several nails, a prescription oral antifungal medication is probably necessary to get rid of it. For best results, see a dermatologist to guide you in the right direction. READ MORE

  • How to treat ringworm?

    Ring worm can be a frustrating thing to get rid of. First off, it is important to make sure you actually have ring worm. A dermatologist can usually make this diagnosis clinically, however, sometimes a skin culture or biopsy is necessary. The Ketoconazol cream is usually enough to clear minor fungal infections (ring worm). The Clobetasol cream is a steroid. A steroid cream can actually make fungal infections worse. If the fungal infection has not cleared after two months, you need to see a dermatologist. READ MORE

  • How long do you leave glycolic acid on your face?

    Glycolic acid peels should only be applied by a licensed professional. The length of time left on the skin depends on the strength of the glycolic peel. It typically ranges between 1-5 minutes. If left on too long you risk burns, redness, pigment changes, blisters or scarring. Contact your local board certified dermatologist for treatment. READ MORE

  • Why has a line appeared on my fingernail?

    A pigmented streak in the nail is something termed longitudinal melanonychia. This is fairly common in darker skin types. Other causes include trauma, medication side effects, inflammatory skin conditions or malignant tumors. Although this is usually benign, evaluation by a board certified dermatologist is best. This is especially important if the pigment is new, changing in color, size, shape, or spreading into the surrounding skin. READ MORE

  • How do I stop my face from being so oily?

    You can reduce oil production by cleansing the skin with a wash containing salicylic acid, glycolic acid or even benzoyl peroxide if acne is an issue. Toners, blotting pads and facial masks may also be useful. If skin is extremely oily, prescription retinoids are often required. You should see a board certified dermatologist to fully examine your skin and come up with a game plan. I hope that helps! READ MORE
