🌿 Struggling with Psoriasis? You’re Not Alone! 🌿

Although only 3% of Americans have psoriasis, its red, scaly, and itchy patches can be uncomfortable and stressful. Psoriasis occurs when skin cells regenerate too quickly, often affecting the scalp, elbows, and knees—but it can appear anywhere. Left untreated, it can cause discomfort, low self-esteem, and even complications like psoriatic arthritis.

The good news? Psoriasis is treatable. From topical creams to phototherapy and prescription medications, a personalized plan from a licensed dermatologist can reduce inflammation, ease itching, and improve your skin’s health.

At Buckhead Dermatology, Dr. Sherrie Straughn has over 25 years of experience helping patients manage psoriasis and restore their confidence. Don’t wait for flare-ups to take control—relief is possible!

🍯 Discover the Sweet Benefits of Honey for Your Skin! 🍯

Did you know that honey has been a skincare secret for centuries? From ancient remedies to modern products like those from Burt’s Bees, this natural wonder offers incredible benefits for both men and women. If you're not highly allergic to bees, honey might just become your new favorite ingredient!
Key Benefits of Honey in Skincare:

Hydration & Glow: Honey draws moisture to your skin, leaving it soft, nourished, and radiant.
Antibacterial Power: Its antimicrobial properties help treat acne, reduce inflammation, and prevent breakouts.
Gentle Exfoliation: Enzymes in honey promote smoother, brighter skin without harsh scrubbing.
Versatile Uses: Ideal for cleansers, masks, moisturizers, and anti-aging routines.

At-Home Tips to Try Honey:

Cleansing & Exfoliating: Mix honey with baking soda for a gentle scrub, or use it alone to remove impurities.
Masks: Combine with olive oil, coconut oil, oats, or green tea for a soothing, hydrating treat. Apply for 15 minutes and rinse for instant softness!
Acne Spot Treatment: Dab raw honey on blemishes to calm redness and fight bacteria.

Remember, always do a patch test first, especially if you have bee-related allergies. If you experience any reaction, consult a professional.
At Buckhead Dermatology in Atlanta, we're passionate about natural, effective skincare solutions. Dr. Sherrie Straughn, our experienced expert, can guide you on incorporating honey into your routine or recommend personalized products to achieve your best skin yet.

🌟 Turn Back the Clock on Aging Skin with Buckhead Dermatology! 🌟

We all take youthful skin for granted—until time, sun exposure, and daily habits start to show. 😔 Fine lines, wrinkles, and those pesky age spots (aka liver spots) can make us feel less confident. But here's the good news: You DON'T have to live with them!

What Causes Age Spots?
These dark patches pop up on the face, hands, arms, and shoulders from excess melanin triggered by:
☀️ UV rays (even on cloudy days!)
🛏️ Tanning beds
🧬 Genetics & natural aging

Pro Tip: Skip self-tanners—they can make spots DARKER and more noticeable! 🚫

Erase Them for Good—Non-Invasively!
At Buckhead Dermatology, Dr. Sherrie Straughn prefers gentle, effective solutions:
✅ Topical Treatments: Hydroquinone, retinoids, Vitamin C serums, or Kojic Acid for gradual, lasting fade. (Consistency is key—results in months!)
✅ In-Office Options: Fading creams or peels for faster results (with honest chat about downtime & cost).

No need for invasive procedures unless YOU want them. We tailor to your goals! 💖

Prevention Starts TODAY:
🧴 Broad-spectrum sunscreen DAILY (face, neck, hands, arms!)
🧢 Cover up & avoid peak sun hours (10am-4pm)
💄 Choose makeup with SPF for extra protection

Don’t let age spots hold you back from loving your reflection or showing off those arms!

👩‍⚕️ Meet Dr. Sherrie Straughn – Board-certified dermatologist in the heart of beautiful Buckhead, Atlanta. Her personal, quaint office delivers proven anti-aging results with a loyal following.

🕷️ Spider Veins Are NOT Part of the Costume! 🕷️

Halloween is for spooky fun, but those web-like lines on your legs? Not invited to the party!

👻 Spider veins affect ~70% of women & 40% of men (thanks, pregnancy & genetics!).
👻 Varicose veins can bulge, ache, or even burst—ouch!
👻 Both steal confidence when you want to show off your skin.

But here’s the treat: They’re treatable! 🍬
✅ Sclerotherapy – Quick injection, seals veins shut, body absorbs them (1-2 months, no downtime).
✅ Laser Therapy – Non-invasive light zaps veins away (some vanish in 1 session!).
✅ Prevention Tips: Elevate legs, move often, skip hot soaks, try compression socks on flights.

Cosmetic or medical? We’ve got you.
Painful varicose veins? May be insurance-covered.

Caring for Your Skin During Chemotherapy 💜

Undergoing chemotherapy is a challenging journey, and caring for your skin is a vital part of staying healthy. Chemotherapy can weaken your immune system, making your skin—the body’s largest organ—more vulnerable to infections. Here are some key tips to protect your skin and prevent infections during treatment:

🌿 Prevent Infections with a Plan: Work with your oncology team and a dermatologist to create a skin care routine. This can help manage wounds, rashes, and irritation caused by treatment.

🧴 Topical Ointments: Keep a prescription antibiotic ointment like Mupirocin on hand for minor wounds. It can help fight common germs like Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus. Always consult your oncology team before using any new treatment.

🧼 Wash Hands Often: Frequent hand washing or sanitizing is critical to avoid germs, especially in public spaces like elevators, shopping carts, or doorknobs. Follow up with a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to prevent dry, cracked skin.

🚫 Avoid Germ Hotspots: Skip places like gyms, public pools, or nail salons during treatment to reduce exposure to germs.

🩺 Monitor Your Skin: Report any signs of infection, like redness or swelling, to your medical team immediately to avoid unnecessary antibiotics.

Taking care of your skin can make a big difference during chemotherapy. If you’re in Atlanta and want expert guidance, contact Dr. Sherrie Straughn at Buckhead Dermatology for a consultation:

🌹 Struggling with Rosy Cheeks? Let's Talk Rosacea! 🌹
Did you know that rosacea affects over 16 million Americans? This common skin condition can cause redness, flushing, bumps, and even pimples that come and go. It's more common in women and folks aged 30-50, but anyone can experience it. While an occasional blush might seem harmless, ongoing flare-ups can impact your confidence and social life.
Triggers vary for everyone—think alcohol, sun exposure, spicy foods, stress, or extreme temps. Some find relief by avoiding these, but for lasting results, professional help is key!
Over-the-counter products offer quick fixes, but they often miss the root cause. At Buckhead Dermatology, we provide FDA-approved treatments tailored to you, plus lifestyle tips to manage outbreaks.
Not everyone needs treatment, but if rosacea disrupts your day, it's highly treatable—no more hiding those flare-ups!
