Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Sharon Scherl
Sourced directly from Dr. Sharon Scherl's social posts and replies.
How should blackheads be safely removed?
Blackhead removers, also known as comedone extractors, work by applying gentle pressure to prepped skin to push out clogged pores without damaging the follicle. Using these tools in a professional setting is much safer for your skin, as pressing too hard with fingers can damage hair follicles. Finger extraction is not the recommended method.
What is a HydraFacial and what are its benefits?
A HydraFacial is a state-of-the-art, 30-45 minute treatment offered at our office. It uses a special handpiece with Vortex technology to gently deep cleanse, exfoliate, extract impurities, nourish, and hydrate the skin. It can be customized to address specific concerns like acne, pigmentation, and fine lines and wrinkles. Patients often leave looking like a 'glazed donut' due to the immediate glow.
What causes rough and bumpy skin, and how should it be treated?
Rough and bumpy skin is commonly caused by dry skin and an accumulation of dead skin cells that are not shedding properly. To treat it, gently exfoliate using products with enzymes or light percentages of salicylic acid to remove buildup. It's also crucial to focus on hydration, using moisturizers that contain humectants and emollients like ceramides, squalene, and glycerin to lock in moisture.
What ingredients should never be put on the face?
You should never put products containing alcohol, talc powder, or fragrance on your face. Alcohol severely dries the skin barrier, leading to breakouts and irritation. Talc powder can be processed in facilities that contain asbestos, so always check makeup labels (especially eyeshadows and face powders). Fragrances are very irritating, even for non-sensitive individuals, and can cause itching, redness, and burning. Always read product labels carefully to ensure they are skin safe.
What causes teenage acne and how should it be managed?
Teenage acne is very common and normal, primarily caused by hormonal surges leading to an overproduction of oil in glands. Not keeping skin clean can exacerbate breakouts. The most important steps are using a gentle cleanser twice a day, a gentle moisturizer to keep the skin barrier hydrated, and exfoliating ingredients like salicylic acid to remove pore-clogging buildup. If breakouts don't improve after a couple of months, it's time to see a dermatologist or dermatology provider for professional help.
How should chronically cracked or dry lips be treated?
For cracked or dry lips, it's important to both hydrate and occlude. Products like Vaseline, Aquaphor, or other ointments primarily occlude and protect the skin but do not infuse moisture. To hydrate, use lip oils and masks to infuse the skin with moisture, then follow with an occluding product to seal it in.
What can trigger psoriasis flare-ups?
Psoriasis flare-ups can be triggered by several factors, including surgery, any trauma to the skin, and stress, which is a significant indicator for many dermatological issues. Major stressful events can lead to significant flares. Additionally, scratching can worsen psoriasis, a phenomenon known as the Koebner phenomenon, where rubbing due to itchiness causes a rebound effect and exacerbates the condition. If you're experiencing a flare-up, it's important to make an appointment with your dermatology provider.
Is it necessary to wear sunscreen in the winter?
Yes, it is absolutely recommended to use sunscreen in the winter. Even with a lower UV index, significant UV rays from the sky can cause sunburns and predispose to skin cancer. This is particularly important when skiing, as light reflecting off the snow increases UV exposure and the risk of burns on exposed skin.
How can dry and flaky winter skin be combated?
To combat dry and flaky skin, especially during winter, avoid taking long hot showers. After showering, gently blot your skin dry with a towel. Immediately apply a thick moisturizer to your skin to effectively lock in moisture.
What causes chest and back acne, and how can it be prevented?
Chest and back acne are primarily caused by genetics and hormones, similar to facial acne. Diet, particularly foods high on the glycemic index that spike blood sugar and cause inflammation, and stress can also contribute. For body acne, sweating and clothing are important factors. If you work out frequently, shower shortly after or wear moisture-wicking clothing to prevent sweat from sitting on your skin, which can cause more breakouts.
