โš–๏ธ So much important work and learning done in DC with my colleagues and so many other AAD members at the 2023 AADA Legislative Conference! (If you were there and I missed you, I probably donโ€™t know your insta handle - please lmk in the comments!!) We spent time learning from policy experts and meeting with legislators to advocate on behalf of our patients for greater access to dermatologic care and more affordable prescription medications.

See some photos through the years at this critically important conference! Also, many thanks to Dr. Marty Makary, physician author of , for the amazing keynote!

๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผโ€โš•๏ธ Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease, which means there is nothing you did (or didnโ€™t do!) to cause it, and itโ€™s not contagious, so it cannot be spread from person to person.

I believe vitiligo skin is beautiful. It is also true, that patients may want to lessen the appearance of their vitiligo. Great news ๐Ÿ“ฐ with the help of a , it's treatable.โ

Pride is more than a month or a parade. It is a movement. ๐ŸŒˆโœŠ๐Ÿฝ

The first Pride parade took place on June 28, 1970, 1 year after the raid of Stonewall Inn - a bar frequented by the q***r community - and the protests that followed. Stonewall marked a turning point in history. ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŒŸ

Pride month started as a way to honor the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan, but it is so much more than that. It is a time to remember the members of the LGBTQIA+ community that we have lost. A time to recognize the accomplishments of this community, and a time to reflect on the progress that still needs to be made.๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ

Let's stand together, celebrate diversity, and keep fighting for equality and acceptance. Love is love, and we are proud to be a part of this incredible movement. ๐ŸŒˆโค๏ธ๐ŸŒŸ +

๐Ÿงด Some skin and hair products can cause acne. To find the products that are the LEAST likely to cause acne, look for the following on labels: ๐Ÿšซ๐ŸŒ‹

๐ŸŒฟ Non-comedogenic
๐Ÿšซ Non-acnegenic
๐Ÿ’ง Oil-free
๐Ÿšซ Wonโ€™t clog pores

Check your moisturizer, cleanser, sunscreen, and all other skin products for one of these terms. ๐Ÿ”Ž๐Ÿงผ๐ŸŒž

Remember, less is more! Reducing how many products you use improves your chance of clear skin. ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธโœจ Routines with several steps can cause more harm than good. When in doubt, reach out to your board-certified dermatologist if your skin care routine is not working for you. ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿ’ผ

Acne can present in a variety of forms:

๐Ÿ”ต Whiteheads: They appear as small white bumps under the skin's surface. They occur when pores get clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Don't pop 'em, opt for gentle skincare instead! ๐Ÿ’†๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

๐Ÿ”ด Red Pimples: Known as papules, these are small, raised bumps. They occur when hair follicles get inflamed or infected. Hands off, and let them heal naturally! ๐Ÿšซ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

๐ŸŸ  Pustules: The pus-filled pimples you're familiar with. They have a yellow or white center surrounded by redness. Avoid squeezing them to prevent scarring. Patience is key! โณ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ

๐ŸŸข Blackheads: These pesky black dots form when pores get clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. A good exfoliation routine can help! โœจ๐Ÿ’†๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

๐Ÿ”ต Nodules: Large, solid, painful bumps beneath the skin. They develop deep within the skin and can be quite uncomfortable. Seek professional help for treatment. ๐Ÿฉน๐Ÿ’†๐Ÿพโ€โ™‚๏ธ

๐Ÿ”ด Cystic Acne: A severe form characterized by large, inflamed, pus-filled lesions. They're deep, painful, and can scar. Don't suffer in silence, consult a dermatologist. You're not alone! ๐Ÿคโค๏ธ

๐ŸŸ  Postules: Similar to pustules, but they're larger and more tender. These red bumps are filled with pus and may require gentle extraction techniques by a professional. Keep calm and let the experts handle it! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ”ฌ

๐ŸŸข Hormonal Acne: Associated with hormone changes, often occurring during puberty, menstrual cycles, or hormonal imbalances. These pesky pimples often appear on the chin, jawline, and cheeks. Seek a dermatologist to balance those hormones! ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’Š
