Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Joshua Zeichner

Sourced directly from Dr. Joshua Zeichner's social posts and replies.

What is Dr. Zeichner's recommended technique for gentle face cleansing?
When cleansing your face, be gentle and rinse with lukewarm water to avoid drying out your skin. After rinsing, gently pat your face dry with a soft, clean towel instead of rubbing.

What is Dr. Zeichner's advice for treating angry pimples and preventing scarring?
Dr. Zeichner advises against picking red, angry, or underground pimples, as this can lead to scabbing, infections, and permanent scars. For angry pimples, he recommends a drugstore combination of 2.5% benzoyl peroxide (to lower acne-causing bacteria), 2% salicylic acid (to dry out the pimple), and 1% hydrocortisone cream (to reduce inflammation).
Source →
How should I treat a picked pimple?
If you've picked a pimple and created a mess, apply a thick glob of petroleum jelly (like Vaseline) or over-the-counter Bacitracin ointment over the scab or open wound to help it heal. The most crucial step is to keep your hands off it to allow proper healing.
Source →
How can I treat dark marks left by pimples?
Dark marks left by pimples are not permanent scars but can take weeks or months to fade naturally. To treat them, Dr. Zeichner recommends products containing niacinamide (to soothe skin), vitamin C, kojic acid, or arbutin (to block pigment production), and retinol, glycolic acid, or salicylic acid (to help shed darkly pigmented cells).
Source →
What is the correct way to treat a flaky scalp?
Flakes are caused by yeast-driven inflammation, and applying oils or conditioning treatments can worsen the condition by promoting yeast growth. Instead, use a dandruff shampoo with zinc pyrithione or selenium sulfide. Apply it with your fingertips directly to the scalp, rub it in, and let it sit for the duration of singing 'Happy Birthday' to ensure sufficient contact time before rinsing.
Source →
What are the recommended steps for treating a sunburn on the face?
For a sunburn on the face, Dr. Zeichner recommends four steps: 1) Take an NSAID (aspirin or acetaminophen) to reduce inflammation. 2) Apply a milk compress (washcloth soaked in milk and ice) for 10 minutes, as milk proteins calm the skin. 3) Apply vitamin C serum, an antioxidant that reduces free radical damage. 4) Finish with a light moisturizer to restore hydration.
Source →
What causes and treats 'butt pimples'?
Pimples on the butt are typically folliculitis, not true acne, caused by bacteria entering hair follicles. This condition is more common in warmer, sweaty conditions. To prevent it, stay cool and change out of workout or wet clothing quickly. For treatment, try an over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide cleanser; apply it to the skin and let it sit for 30 seconds before rinsing to ensure effectiveness.
Source →
How can I prevent and treat chafing?
Chafing is skin inflammation from chronic rubbing. The best treatment is prevention: apply moisturizer to the skin or use a wax-based anti-chafe stick to reduce friction. If chafing has already developed, apply a heavy cream, balm, or ointment to hydrate and repair the skin barrier. In some cases, an over-the-counter cortisone cream can help reduce inflammation.
Source →
What is the difference between deodorant and antiperspirant, and which should I use?
Deodorants neutralize body odor and are suitable if you are smelly but not sweaty, or not concerned about sweat stains. Antiperspirants contain ingredients that block sweat and keep you dry, making them the right choice if you are sweaty.
Source →
What are the best practices for applying antiperspirant?
Apply antiperspirant at night when your body produces the least sweat, allowing the wetness-protecting ingredients to work more effectively for dryness the next morning. Reapplication is acceptable if showering or needing extra coverage. Ensure you apply a sufficient amount (2-4 strokes, varying by individual) for full and even contact with clean, dry skin. Always follow label instructions and avoid applying to broken or freshly shaven skin.

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 (2024)

$376,540

Payments

584

Compared to peers

Among the highest in our directory

Dr. Joshua Zeichner received $376,540 across 584 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 99.7% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as compensation for services other than consulting, including serving as faculty or as a speaker at a venue other than a continuing education program, and the largest single payer was Arcutis Biotherapeutics, 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?”
