September is Self-Care Awareness Month, a reminder that taking care of yourself is about more than finding time to relax. It’s also about taking care of your health.

Consider this your reminder to schedule that dermatology appointment you’ve been putting off!

Whether it’s time for your routine skin check, you have a spot or mole you’d like looked at, or you’re dealing with a skin concern that just won’t go away, making your skin health a priority is an important form of self-care.

Your skin deserves attention, too. This month, put YOU on the calendar and schedule your appointment with Westminster Dermatology.

Alright, guys. Be honest. What’s stopping you from seeing a dermatologist?

Pick your excuse:

❏ I forgot
❏ I’m too busy
❏ It’s probably nothing
❏ I’m waiting for my wife to make the appointment

Here’s the thing: your skin health is part of your overall health, and some concerns are worth getting checked sooner rather than later.

That changing mole? Get it checked.
That spot that won’t heal? Get it checked.
That skin issue you’ve been ignoring for six months? You guessed it.

Early detection matters, and making an appointment is a lot easier than continuing to put it off.

No more excuses, guys. It’s time to visit the derm.

This one’s for the boys.

Guys, if your skin is trying to tell you something, it might be time to actually listen.

Stubborn acne that won’t clear up? Razor bumps every time you shave? A mole that looks a little different? Dry, irritated or itchy skin you’ve been ignoring for months?

And no, using the same body wash for your face, hair and everything else probably isn’t the solution.

Swipe through for 5 signs it might be time to see a dermatologist.

Taking care of your skin doesn’t have to be complicated. At Westminster Dermatology, we can help you figure out what’s going on, find a treatment that works for you and keep your skin healthy.

Stop guessing. Start taking care of your skin.

Skin cancer can affect anyone, regardless of age or skin tone.

While people with fair skin have a higher risk, skin cancer is also diagnosed in people with darker skin tones. The signs may simply appear in different places, making regular skin checks even more important.

Don't ignore these warning signs:

• A mole or spot that's changing in size, shape, or color
• A lesion that itches, bleeds, or won't heal
• A dark streak underneath a fingernail or toenail
• Rough or scaly patches that persist
• New or unusual spots on the palms, soles of the feet, inside the mouth, or other areas that don't get much sun exposure

Skin cancer is highly treatable when caught early. If you've noticed a spot that doesn't look right or has changed over time, schedule a skin evaluation with Westminster Dermatology. A quick examination today could make all the difference tomorrow.

Back-to-school is the perfect time to help your teen feel confident in their own skin.

Acne is one of the most common skin conditions among teenagers, but not all acne is the same. What may seem like a typical breakout could actually be hormonal acne, inflammatory acne, cystic acne, or clogged pores that require different treatment approaches.

Trying countless over-the-counter products can often lead to frustration and may even make breakouts worse. A personalized treatment plan can make all the difference.

As your teen heads into a new school year, give them the confidence that comes with healthier skin. Schedule a consultation with Westminster Dermatology to find the right treatment plan for their unique skin needs.

Healthy skin. Greater confidence. A fresh start for the new school year.

If you have eczema or atopic dermatitis, one of the biggest triggers may be hiding in your daily routine: fragrance.

Many skincare products, body washes, lotions, deodorants, and even laundry detergents contain added fragrances that can irritate sensitive skin and contribute to eczema flare-ups.

Here are a few tips to help protect your skin:
• Choose products labeled "fragrance-free," not just "unscented."
• Skip fabric softeners, which almost always contain added fragrances.
• Check baby products, too. Baby shampoos and oils may still contain ingredients that can irritate sensitive skin.

Small changes to the products you use every day can make a big difference in managing eczema and keeping your skin healthy.

If you're struggling with persistent eczema or irritated skin, the team at Westminster Dermatology can help identify your triggers and create a treatment plan that's right for you. Schedule an appointment today and let us help you find relief.

Stress can affect more than your mood. It can affect your skin, too.

During the summer, heat, sun exposure, and dehydration can make stressed skin even more sensitive. You may notice increased breakouts, redness, dryness, irritation, or flare-ups of existing skin conditions.

If your skin hasn't been looking or feeling like itself lately, you're not imagining it.

At Westminster Dermatology, we're here to help. Our team can recommend personalized treatments and skincare solutions to strengthen your skin barrier, improve overall skin health, and help you feel confident in your skin again.

Only 20 to 30% of melanomas develop from an existing mole. Most appear as a brand new spot on skin that previously looked completely normal.

If you notice a new spot or one that is changing in size, shape, or color, don't ignore it. Trust your instincts and schedule a professional skin exam.

Early detection is one of the most effective tools in treating skin cancer. Schedule your skin check with Westminster Dermatology today and give yourself peace of mind.
