The Doctor is IN! Questions from Patients for August 31, 2009

First, this is the final post for this version of my blog. Beginning tomorrow, the blog will look different, and be a bit more interactive and user friendly for the readers, as well as a lot nicer looking! If you’re a subscriber, you’ll still receive the blog without a snag, and you’ll still find it on Rejuvalife.md, it will just have a slightly different web address for those going directly to the blog.  www.rejuvalife.md/drblog will be the new URL, as of tomorrow, September 1, 2009.  I hope you like what we’ve done with the place…

On to today’s entry, which is another video.

I don’t mean to pick on poor Kim Kardashian, but the photo on the right is fairly typical of the level of sunburn I’ve seen at Rejuvalife and I think most of us can relate to this photo.  As can Danielle, from Tustin, who is concerned about the visible damage to her skin from years of competitive sunbathing. All right, I’m not sure there was actually a competition, but as Danielle says, “when I was younger, there was no such thing as an SPF,” and baby oil was a very popular, if unsafe, tanning lotion.  We all realize now that the “healthy glow” of a deep suntan may not be so healthy after all, and some aesthetic damage may be the least of our worries.  (If you see suspicious spots or a mole that has changed shape or size, consult your doctor.)

Summer is nearing an end, but it’s still beach and pool weather, so remember to slather on a full-spectrum sunscreen.  If you’re interested in treating your sun-damaged skin, watch the video, and give me a call!

Thanks for reading, and see you at the new blog!
