Milia can be annoying, but the best way to treat them is having them extracted at a dermatologist's office. Watch to see some of my favorite OTC products that can help prevent and maybe treat milia at home.

@✨ S H R U T I ✨ Quick reminder that purging is another process that can happen in about 10-20% of patients starting retinoids.
Purging occurs when the skin is introduced to a new active ingredient that increases skin cell turnover, in this case a retinoid, which can cause oil, debris, and keratin that have been collecting in the pores to now come to the surface, manifesting as acne breakouts.
If you experience purging, it usually occurs within 2-4 weeks of starting the new retinoid. Breakouts with purging are thought to be smaller (like blackheads or whiteheads), but they can really look like any type of breakout (cysts, pustules, nodules). If your new breakouts are persistent for more than 8 weeks, I recommend seeing a dermatologist.
The bottom line is that retinization and purging are somewhat expected processes that can happen in anyone starting a retinoid and should not discourage you from stopping the retinoid. Your dermatologist is also here to guide you to minimize the effects of retinization and purging if you do experience them.

#duet with @Hill Reminder that Herpes simplex virus (AKA herpes or fever blisters) is very common! HSV Type 1 typically causes fever blisters and sores in the mouth, where as Type 2 causes genital herpes. But either type can occur in either location! Once you have herpes, it lives in your body forever. It is only contagious when you are having an active outbreak. But sometimes these breakouts can be minor or asymptomatic, so be very cautious when sharing foods or drinks with others or when kissing. Fortunately there are good prescriptions (specifically valacyclovir) that can keep it under control. You usually can detect symptoms, like tingling or a burning sensation prior to an outbreak, so that is the best time to start taking medicine. #dermatologist #herpes #hsv #feverblisters #coldsores #drmamina #skintok

#CeraVePartner I had the privilege to teach at Cerave’s 2023 Acne Academy and shared the stage with some amazing guests (@charli d’amelio, @Zach King, @DermDoctor | Dr. Shah, @Evan Rieder MD) to dispel some myths and misconceptions surrounding acne. I then teamed up with @Dr. Dustin Portela to “knock out” some acne myths 🥊 😄.

Keratosis pilaris flare ups can be managed with gentle cleansers, effective moisturizers, and a few exfoliating ingredients.
Nighttime skincare routine as a breastfeeding dermatologist. Yes, I’m using a retinol but not hydroquinone.
Hyperpigmentation on dark skin is a common issue but it can certainly be treated with a few ingredients. Watch to the end for my favorite product recommendations!
@Belicia Reminder that bath towels can harbor more bacteria than a public bathroom 😳 so make sure you’re washing your bath towels frequently. Another option is to use a little hand towel that you can replace more easily than a large bath towel. If you use paper towels, I recommend finding one that is not bleached, recycled, and more gentle to touch.
Replying to @itsariaine In summary, topical retinoid use does not appear to cause harm to a nursing infant. Yay! But because data is still limited, I recommend having this discussion with your dermatologist so that you can make an informed decision.

Eczema and diaper rash are two common skin conditions we see in infants. Seborrheic dermatitis and baby acne are other common conditions. Skin barrier nourishing and skin protecting creams and ointments can help prevent eczema and diaper rash flares.
