Friday, March 17, 2023

NEW ORLEANS, March 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- New research1,2,3 shows that as wildfires are increasing in frequency, intensity and extent, and affecting air quality across the U.S., they are having a detrimental effect on people with and without skin conditions. A board-certified dermatologist at the American Academy of Dermatology's Annual Meeting in New Orleans will discuss strategies to minimize the effect air pollution can have on your skin.

Key Points: 
  • A board-certified dermatologist at the American Academy of Dermatology's Annual Meeting in New Orleans will discuss strategies to minimize the effect air pollution can have on your skin.
  • Psoriasis occurs when the body makes skin cells too quickly, causing the cells to pile up and form visible patches or spots on the skin.

  • If you have a skin concern, you should partner with a board-certified dermatologist, said Dr. Wei.

Friday, March 17, 2023

NEW ORLEANS, March 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Millions of people in the U.S. report having a metal allergy, and current estimates state that 10 percent of Americans will receive a medical implant during their lifetime1. Board-certified dermatologists attending the American Academy of Dermatology's Annual Meeting in New Orleans are seeing more patients concerned about a possible skin hypersensitivity to the nickel or other metals used in implanted medical devices. 

Key Points: 
  • "For example, if it's an orthopedic implant, there are ceramic options, which won't affect those who have a metal allergy.
  • Often, when a metal implant is put into the body, it releases some amount of metal for a certain period of time, which can cause irritation in people who have metal allergies.
  • If the issue doesn't resolve, other options — such as removal of the implant — may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
  • "A dermatologist can work with you and your surgeon to determine the best course of action based on your symptoms."

NEW ORLEANS, March 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Hair loss in women can be emotionally devastating and may negatively impact quality of life, and new research suggests that it can also be associated with having other common medical conditions. A board-certified dermatologist at the American Academy of Dermatology's Annual Meeting in New Orleans will discuss the types of hair loss seen in women with darker skin tones, common types of medical conditions associated with hair loss, and hair loss treatment options. 

Key Points: 
  • A board-certified dermatologist at the American Academy of Dermatology's Annual Meeting in New Orleans will discuss the types of hair loss seen in women with darker skin tones, common types of medical conditions associated with hair loss, and hair loss treatment options.

  • Minoxidil is a common treatment option for female pattern hair loss because it has been shown to reduce hair loss, stimulate hair growth, and strengthen existing strands of hair.
