We get it; you're tired of hearing about healthy eating. You know you should care because it's good for your skin, but what you really want is flavor—juicy, dripping, oozing yumminess. Is this too much to ask? Not at all! We know the most delicious foods for alluring skin (including chocolate). Let’s celebrate World Heath Day together by eating our way to attractive skin. We promise to recommend only scrumptious foods. 1) Go Nuts with Almonds The meatiness of almonds with their crunchy, substantial flavor is so enticing it's hard to stop with just one small handful. But that's all you need to get the health benefits of this skin-boosting food. Not only are they loaded with flavor, but they're also rich in vitamin E. This antioxidant protects your skin against inflammation and UV damage. 2) Spice it Up with Cinnamon There's nothing like the fragrant, spicy goodness of cinnamon to wake up your senses in the morning. Add it to your hot cereal, or sprinkle it on war...

If a carcinoma is found, we’ll discuss the best solution with you from among the following treatment options: topical creams, excisional surgery, electrodesiccation and curettage (ED&C), cryotherapy, and Mohs micrographic surgery.

The term “rash” covers a wide range of skin conditions, usually referring to changes in the skin that manifest as bumps, blisters, or red patches. Most of these are harmless, but they can be indications of other skin problems or health issues. Common types of rashes include chronic skin problems, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, bacterial infections, fungal infections, and viral infections. Skin rash treatments vary widely depending on the type, causes, and symptoms. We have the experience needed to examine you visually and determine exactly the type of rash you have. We’ll then determine a proper treatment for your particular rash. Rash treatments offered at our center include moisturizing lotions and/or creams, topical anti-itch medications, oral antihistamines, topical anti-fungal medications, and light therapy. Skin rashes can be troublesome, as they not only itch but can also make you self-conscious about your appearance. West Dermatology Riverside 4244 Riverwalk Pkwy #170,...

Psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder in which your skin produces skin cells much faster than normal. This causes them to build up into thick, flaky, itchy, inflamed patches. There are several types of psoriasis, including plaque psoriasis, guttate psoriasis, nail psoriasis, inverse psoriasis, and several other types that are rare. Common areas of the body where psoriasis develops include the scalp, torso, arms, thighs, armpits, groin, under the breasts, between the buttocks, and on the fingernails and toenails. There’s also the very painful psoriatic arthritis, in which both the skin and the nearby joints are stiff and inflamed. Psoriasis is unpredictable. You may heal without warning only to have it return just as quickly or years later. Our psoriasis treatment options include topical medications (Vitamin D, steroids or retinol creams/gels), oral treatments, biologic treatments (pills that alter cell turnover or injectable medications), light therapy, and UVB light.

It’s sometimes hard to gauge how much skincare product to use. You don’t want to use too much or too little. You want that “Goldilocks” amount that’s “just right.” Most People use too Much Product We all tend to over-apply our skincare products without even thinking about it. Maybe we subconsciously think the extra product will give us extra-good skin, but it doesn't work like that. The Right Amount If you think of how much skincare product to apply in terms of fruit, it’s pretty easy to keep things straight. Imagine the smallest amount as a pomegranate seed. It’s just enough to tap onto your face. · Pomegranate Seed Size Retinols and serums are effective in the tiniest pomegranate-seed amount. You want to use enough product to get the full benefit, but not so much that your skin turns red or dries out. Start small and build up to what your skin can tolerate. The retinol you buy from your dermatologist is stronger than over-the-counter retinol, so a little goes a long way. · The S...

If you’ve admired someone's glowy skin lately, chances are they’re benefiting from the beautifying effects of vitamin C. You can have that glow, too! You just need to kick it up a notch with a great serum and good nutrition. Let’s do this together in Riverside in honor of Vitamin C day this month. You Need Vitamin C You need vitamin C from a topical serum (and food) to protect your cells from free radicals. Your body produces these molecules when it’s exposed to damaging things like too much sun, smog, and stress. Free radicals wreak havoc on cells, they contribute to dull skin, wrinkles, and premature aging. Vitamin C’s antioxidant powers protect you from these free radicals. How it Works Vitamin C helps repair your skin by stimulating collagen production. This precious protein makes your skin supple and radiant. It also evens out your skin tone. So, if you have age spots or freckles, vitamin C keeps them from getting darker by blocking a key melanin-producing enzyme. It also bl...
