May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month.

Taking care of your skin is about more than appearance — it’s about protecting your health.

Skin cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer, but when detected early, it is highly treatable. That’s why regular skin checks and paying attention to changes in your skin are so important.

Watch for:
• New or changing moles
• Spots that don’t heal
• Changes in color, shape, or size
• Areas that itch, bleed, or look different from the rest

Daily SPF, routine skin exams, and early evaluation can make a meaningful difference.

If something on your skin has changed — or it’s been a while since your last exam — consider this your reminder to schedule a skin check.

Acne isn’t just for teenagers.

Many adults continue to experience breakouts well beyond their teen years — often for completely different reasons.

Hormones, stress, skincare products, lifestyle changes, and even environmental factors can all contribute to adult acne.

The frustrating part?
What worked before may not work anymore.

Adult acne often needs a more personalized approach — one that supports your skin without causing additional irritation or damage.

The good news is that clearer, healthier skin is possible with the right care and guidance.

If you’ve been dealing with persistent breakouts, painful acne, or skin that feels unpredictable, it may be time to take a closer look at what your skin is trying to tell you.

Stop self-diagnosing your skin.

Google can give you possibilities—but a dermatologist gives you answers.

Not every rash is eczema.
Not every dark spot is harmless.
Not every breakout is acne.

We often see patients who spent months treating the wrong condition because online searches pointed them in the wrong direction.

Your skin is unique, and accurate diagnosis matters.

If something on your skin is changing, persistent, painful, or simply concerning, it’s worth getting evaluated.

✨ Early evaluation can save time, money, frustration—and sometimes protect your health.

Why Your Skin Gets Red (And What To Do About It)

If your skin frequently looks flushed, irritated, or red — it may be more than just sensitivity.

Rosacea is a common chronic skin condition that can cause:
• Persistent redness
• Visible blood vessels
• Acne-like breakouts
• Burning or stinging sensations

While triggers vary, common ones include sun exposure, temperature changes, stress, and certain foods or drinks.

The key thing to know: rosacea doesn’t just go away on its own — but it can be managed with the right care.

At Anchorage Dermatology & Cosmetics, we help identify your triggers and create a personalized treatment plan to keep symptoms under control.

If your redness is persistent or getting worse, it’s worth getting it checked.

You need SPF — even in Alaska.

Cool temperatures don’t mean your skin is protected.

UV rays are present year-round, and snow can reflect sunlight — increasing your exposure even on cloudy days.

The effects may not show up immediately, but over time, the damage adds up.

Daily SPF helps protect against:
• Premature aging
• Sunspots
• Skin cancer risk

A simple habit that makes a long-term difference.

Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every morning — no matter the season.

Early Detection Saves Lives

Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers — but it’s also one of the most preventable when caught early.

A simple skin exam can make all the difference by identifying changes before they become something more serious.

If you notice a spot that’s new, changing, or not healing, don’t wait. Having it checked early can protect more than just your skin — it can protect your overall health.

At Anchorage Dermatology & Cosmetics, we’re here to help you stay proactive about your skin health.

Winter weather in Alaska can be tough on sensitive skin.

Cold air, dry indoor heat, and freezing winds often make rosacea and facial redness worse. Many people notice their cheeks become red, sting, or feel irritated when moving between the cold outdoors and warm indoor spaces.

The good news is that rosacea and redness can be managed. With the right treatment plan, we can help calm irritation, strengthen the skin barrier, and reduce flare-ups over time.

If your redness seems worse during the winter months, it may be time to have it evaluated.
