NOT DRY SKIN

The patient thought it was dry skin. It wasn’t.

The image is a parasite under the microscope. But this Reel is not really about parasites.

It’s about what skin can reveal when someone is trained to look.

I found this on a patient whose only complaint was itchy patches.

More seriously, I’ve diagnosed leukemia, brain tumors, and systemic toxicities from what I saw on the skin.

Yes, I do lasers and injectables.

But dermatologists study medicine first.
Then we spend years studying skin, hair, and nails.

A persistent rash or itch may be dry skin. But it may not be.

If something on your skin doesn’t go away or doesn’t look right, don’t crowdsource it.
