What should I know about bug bites and when should I seek medical attention?
Most bug bites are harmless, though they can cause redness, swelling, and itching. Clean any bites with soap and water, apply a cold compress or anti-itch cream, and avoid scratching to prevent infection. Contact the practice if your bite becomes swollen, painful, develops blisters, or shows signs of infection.

What is heat rash, how is it managed, and when should I seek medical attention?
Heat rash occurs when sweat gets trapped under the skin, often appearing as itchy bumps after a hot day. To manage it, keep the skin cool and dry, wear loose, breathable clothing, and avoid heavy creams or oils. Applying soothing calamine or aloe can help. If the rash is persistent or causing distress, call the office to schedule an appointment.

How can I address skin hydration and barrier issues, especially in heat?
If your skin feels tight, looks dull, or breaks out more in the heat, it often indicates a hydration and barrier issue. To address this, consistently drink water (or coconut water), eat water-rich foods (such as melons, strawberries, cucumber, and lettuce), and daily support your skin barrier with hydrating cleansers and moisturizing creams.

How many practice locations does Dr. Sanchez-Palacios's practice have?

Source →
Why is early detection important for hair loss?
The sooner hair loss concerns are noticed and treated, the more treatment options are available.
Source →
What is the recommended treatment for sunburn and what should be avoided?
When treating sunburn, begin by cooling down the skin, such as using fabric-covered bags of ice (avoid applying ice directly). Then, replace lost moisture with natural hydration by applying aloe vera and drinking plenty of water. Avoid wearing perfumes or colognes that contain alcohol, consuming beverages with alcohol, caffeine, or a lot of sugar, and popping blisters, which can cause scars.

How does travel affect skin and what skincare is recommended?
Traveling, even for a few days, can negatively affect your skin thanks to changes in climate, more sun exposure, and a disrupted routine. To care for your skin without causing additional irritation, use a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2025)

$1,467

Payments

65

Compared to peers

Moderate

Dr. Carla Alicia Sanchez-Palacios received $1,467 across 65 payments in 2025. That is higher than about 71% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Janssen Biotech, Inc..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
