The Oscars of dermatology are happening this weekend, and you know these cysts pick the worst times to appear! For those deep, painful, huge monster cysts, I give myself a dilute cortisone shot—just a tiny, superficial injection that works like MAGIC ✨ In 24-48 hours, it shrinks down, preventing it from getting bigger and leaving a scar. No access to a derm? Here’s what I recommend instead: ✔️ Hydrocolloid pimple patches to help absorb fluid ✔️ Stick to your acne routine (keep using your actives!) ❌ NO squeezing or popping—that only makes it worse! An intralesional cortisone shot isn’t an everyday acne fix, but for those last-minute pimple emergencies, it’s a game-changer 🚨 #acne #acnetreatment #cysticacne #acneskincare #acneskin #acnefighter #skincaretips #dermapproved

1 I’m a 37-year-old dermatologist, mom of two, business owner, and content creator and I’m not ashamed to admit that some days I feel like I’m barely holding it all together. 2 Mom guilt is real. I constantly wonder if I’m spending enough time with my kids while growing my career. 3 Imposter syndrome still creeps in. Even after years in medicine, I sometimes question if I belong in the spaces I’ve worked so hard to be in. 4 Self-care feels impossible some days. Everything and everyone else seems more urgent. 5 I feel pressure to look a certain way and have glowing skin all the time because I am a dermatologist. That stress alone adds to my never-ending skin issues. 6 The older I get, the more I learn to trust in God and lean on my faith because so much is out of our control. 2025 is shaping up to be a shocker of a year so far, and one thing is clear. God works in unexpected ways and has a much bigger and grander plan ahead than anything I could have imagined. Comment ❤️ if any of this resonates with you.

If you think the SPF in your foundation is enough… I have news for you 😬. You need 2-3 finger lengths of sunscreen for full protection, and yes, you should reapply every 2 hours. Be honest—are you wearing enough SPF? Drop a 🧴 if you are, or a 😬 if you need to do better! #SPFIsLife #SunscreenEveryDay #teawithmd

Minoxidil shedding? Don’t freak out! 🚨 Seeing more hair fall after starting minoxidil is actually a good thing—it’s just your old, resting hairs making way for stronger, healthier new growth. Stay consistent, and you’ll see the baby hairs coming in soon! Warning: this medication is toxic for dogs and cats so please wash your hands after handling. #HairGrowth #Minoxidil #HairShedding #HairLoss #HealthyHair #ScalpCare #teawithmd

This skincare product is so viral my friend had to go to 10 pharmacies in Korea just to find it! 😱 Rejuvenex Cream is packed with PDRN (salmon DNA)—an ingredient known for boosting collagen, accelerating repair, and reducing inflammation. You’ve seen those PDRN injections all over social media, right? Painful but supposedly worth it for that glow! This tube is tiny (10g), so I’ll be using it on my most wrinkly, sunken areas and testing it out as a derm. Will it live up to the hype? Stay tuned. Would you try this? 👀 #RejuvenexCream #PDRN #ViralSkincare #KBeauty #DermTips #teawithmd

Let’s revisit UV exposure in the plane with greater detail ✈️ 2 important findings: 1️⃣ Pilots flying for 56.6 minutes at 30 000 feet in the air receive the same amount of UV-A as going in a tanning bed for 20 minutes. These levels can be even higher when flying over reflective cloud layers and snow fields. (PMID: 25517516) 2️⃣ Pilots and cabin crew have approximately 2x the incidence of melanoma compared with the general population. (PMID: 25188246; my med school classmate and previous mentor/research PI from Stanford published this paper!) So do you need to be worried about UVA exposure on the plane ✈️ These are my takeaways: ➡️ cockpit exposure is much greater than the exposure you get sitting in your airplane seat so those risks are not directly applicable to your seat. HOWEVER… ➡️ if you are sitting window seat just close your window or if you plan to keep the window open the whole time, then wear sunscreen. ➡️ wear sunscreen anyways because you had to drive to the airport right? So unless you’re flying at night you’re probably getting uv exposure at some point or other My question is who gets to determine whether the window is open or closed? Would you feel comfortable asking your neighbor to keep the window closed if you’re not sitting window? I tend to not ask…so sunscreen it is (but y’all know I wear spf every single day anyways) #skincancer #spf #sunscreen
