Keratosis Pilaris
Keratosis Pilaris is a very common skin condition. It consists of fine scales protruding out of the hair follicles.
More rarely, the face can be involved, with fine plugs in the hair follicles. A blotchy redness can be present in many such cases. It resembles Rosacea, but unlike Rosacea, it is very resistant to treatment.
At Lakeview Dermatology we have started treating patients with this type of red Keratosis Pilaris (Keratosis Pilaris Rubra) with the Diolite Laser, a 523nm wave length Diode Laser. By sweeping the involved area several times with the Laser beam "Spray Painting" the area) the redness fades. Patients are very pleased.

Increased incidence of Basal Cell Carcinomas in sun tanners
Previous studies have demonstrated an increased incidence of Squamous Cell Carcinomas and Malignant Melanomas in tanning bed users. Now, a recent article shows an increase of early onset of Basal Cell Carcinomas among users of tanning beds.
A new, totally non toxic pediculicide (Lice killer) by the name of ULESFIA is now available in pharmacies.
Teenagers who go to tanning spas accompanied by their mother, have a greater chance to start tanning early and to become heavy tanners.
