Riverchase Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery

Did you know sun exposure can trigger melasma because the pigment-producing cells in the skin (melanocytes) are stimulated by ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun?

Melasma is a skin condition causing dark patches, primarily affecting women. While the exact cause is unknown, it's more common in people with darker skin tones due to increased pigment production. Sun exposure is a major trigger, often causing melasma to return after treatment.

Actor Woody McClain recently shared his struggles with the skin condition and stated “I developed melasma in college from excessive sun exposure. Sunscreen wasn’t a priority back then as everyone believed we didn’t require it. Managing melasma typically involves using sunscreen daily, wearing protective clothing, avoiding sun exposure during peak hours, and using skincare products containing ingredients like hydroquinone, retinoids, or vitamin C.

Treating melasma often requires a comprehensive and professional approach. Call you preferred Riverchase Dermatology Provider at (800) 591-3376 or schedule your appointment online at www.riverchasedermatology.com/locations/

Cystic Acne 👀 Why you should see your dermatologist?

Cystic acne is the most severe form of acne, characterized by large, painful bumps that develop deep under the skin. It develops when clogged pores become infected and inflamed.

Causes 👉 Excess oil, dead skin cells, bacteria and hormones, genetics.

Symptoms 👉 Large, tender, and pus-filled bumps that occur deep within the skin. These bumps can be red and inflamed

Cystic acne can be quite persistent and lead to scarring if not treated properly. Our dermatologists can help! We'll diagnose your acne and create a personalized treatment plan to get you back to glowing skin

It's Acne Awareness Month! While acne is super common, it can still be frustrating. But there are steps you can take to manage it! Here are 5️⃣ tips to get you started:

💧 Wash your face daily with a gentle cleanser. Harsh scrubs can irritate your skin and make acne worse.
☀️ Wear sunscreen every day, even on cloudy days. Sun exposure can worsen acne.
🧖‍♀️ Moisturize! Even oily skin needs moisture. Look for a non-comedogenic moisturizer that won't clog your pores.
🧑‍⚕️ See a dermatologist to get personalized advice on how to treat your acne.
💧 Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Dehydration can contribute to acne breakouts.

Remember, you're not alone in this!
