Who here has ever had a skin problem but was too embarrassed to ask someone about it? I know I have! As dermatologists, we understand that some things can feel a bit awkward to talk about. But honestly, no question is too embarrassing to bring up with us. We have seen and heard it all! Whether it’s body odor that won’t go away, a rash in a sensitive area, regret over an old tattoo, or even something like toenail fungus, we genuinely want to help you with your skin concerns. Our goal is to make sure you feel comfortable and supported while we work together to get things sorted. Tune into this week's podcast with Dr. Shannon Trotter, where she addresses those embarrassing topics we often avoid, like handling odor in sensitive areas and what to do about a rash.She also covers options for removing unwanted tattoos and treating toenail fungus, so it's a must-listen for anyone with these questions! Key Takeaways: - Patients should not be embarrassed to ask their dermatologists about embarrassing questions or concerns. - Body odor in the genital area is normal and can be managed with whole body deodorants and antiperspirants. - Rashes in the genital area can have various causes, including psoriasis, eczema, and hydronidus separativa, and should be evaluated by a dermatologist. - Tattoo regret is common, and there are options for tattoo removal, such as laser treatments. - It is important to seek medical advice for any concerns or questions related to dermatological issues. Tattoo removal options include laser surgery, dermabrasion, and chemical peels, but creams and home remedies are not recommended. - Laser surgery is the most effective treatment for tattoo removal, but multiple treatments may be needed. - Toenail fungus can be challenging to treat, and options include topical and oral medications. - Prevention measures for toenail fungus include keeping the feet clean, disinfecting shoes, and treating fungal rashes promptly. - Proper diagnosis is essential for both tattoo removal and toenail fungus to ensure appropriate treatment. Dr. Trotter hails from Xenia, a small town in Ohio, and fun fact-- bicycle capital of the Midwest. After completing her bachelor’s degree in biology at the University of Dayton, she graduated medical school from Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine in Athens, Ohio. Dr. Trotter completed a dermatology residency at O'Bleness Memorial Hospital, followed by a fellowship in cutaneous oncology at Boston University.

    Check out Dr. Mina's top picks for skin care here. Get Dr. Mina's free PDF on How to create Healthy Skin Habits here. I’ve talked about hair loss so many times, and yet, people still have so many questions. Why? Because hair loss is something almost everyone faces with aging, and it can be emotionally tough for both men and women. If you live long enough, hair loss will happen, regardless of gender. But what if it starts earlier? Like in your 20s? And especially if you’re a woman? For some women, hair loss isn’t just something they deal with later in life, it’s something they’ve been struggling with since their teenage years. And while we’ve come a long way in treating hair loss, there’s no magic pill that fixes it all. The truth is, it’s way more than just a cosmetic issue—it’s tied to how we see ourselves, our confidence, and even how we show up in the world. But here’s the thing—embracing hair loss can actually be a powerful way to step into your authentic self. Check out this week’s podcast featuring Barb Betts as she shares her hair loss journey. She discusses how it began, the treatments she explored, and the hardest parts of her experience. If you’re dealing with hair loss, you definitely won’t want to miss this one! Key Takeaways: - Hair loss can have a significant emotional impact and is often accompanied by a stigma. - Finding a long-term solution for hair loss can be challenging, and it may require trying various treatments and products. - Wearing a wig or hairpiece can provide a sense of confidence and allow individuals to embrace their authentic selves. - Sharing personal experiences with hair loss can help others going through similar struggles. - Sharing your story and being authentic can lead to unexpected support and empowerment. - Everyone has their own unique hair story and something they may be hiding or feeling ashamed of. - Wigs can be a great solution for hair loss, providing versatility and the ability to style and care for them like natural hair. - Hair loss is a complex issue with various causes, and not all treatments or products work for everyone. - Finding confidence and self-acceptance is key to living a fulfilling and authentic life.
