Is it Rosacea?

Many people live with rosacea for years without a diagnosis.

Common signs include:

DML Lotion is Whalen Dermatology’s top choice for dry, itchy skin during the winter months. ❄️

Our provider, Lauren Broadbelt, CRNP, even calls it “the holy grail.”

Pro Tip: For the best results, always apply your moisturizer to damp skin after showering. We recommend using a fragrance-free soap, like Dove Sensitive Skin or Vanicream, to keep your skin barrier healthy and hydrated.
