🧬 August is Hair Loss Awareness Month

Hair loss can be emotionally overwhelming and it’s far more common than you might think. Whether it’s a widening part, thinning at the temples, or shedding in clumps, hair loss can signal anything from genetics and stress to autoimmune conditions or nutritional deficiencies.

But here's the truth: You don't have to just "live with it." With the right evaluation and support, many types of hair loss are treatable - or at the very least, manageable. A Dermatology Provider can perform a detailed assessment and recommend solutions such as oral or topical medications, lifestyle changes, or in-office procedures like PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy.

🌿 Don’t let uncertainty hold you back. If you’re noticing more hair in the shower drain or on your pillow, schedule an appointment with a Dermatology Provider who understands both the science and the emotional weight of hair loss. NEGeorgiaDerm.com

🎒☀️ August is Summer Sun Safety Month - and with kids back in school, it’s the perfect time to refresh your family’s sun protection habits.

Remember: UV damage doesn’t just happen at the beach. Recess, P.E., sports practices, and walks to and from school all expose your child’s skin to harmful rays.

🧴 Keep your kids protected with:
✔️ Broad-spectrum SPF 30+ applied each morning
✔️ Sun-protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses
✔️ Don’t forget the easy-to-miss spots - apply SPF behind the ears and on the back of the neck

👩‍⚕️ And remember…sun safety isn’t just for summer. Book your child’s annual skin exam - a simple step that can help detect concerns early and build lifelong skin-smart habits.

💧 Hydration vs. Moisturization—What’s the Difference? 🧴

Many people use “hydrating” and “moisturizing” interchangeably, but they actually serve different purposes—and your skin needs both to stay healthy, especially during the dry summer months or if you’re tackling with specific skin concerns.

🔹 Hydrating products (like serums with hyaluronic acid or glycerin) attract and boost water in your skin.
🔹 Moisturizers (creams or ointments) seal that hydration in, creating a barrier to prevent water loss.

👩‍⚕️ Why does this matter?
If you’re dealing with:
• Eczema
• Psoriasis
• Dry patches
• Post-procedure dryness (from treatments like chemical peels or microneedling)

Using the right combination of hydrators and moisturizers can make a dramatic difference in comfort and results.

✨ Pro tip: If you’re investing in cosmetic treatments like chemical peels, lasers, or microneedling, proper hydration and moisturization are key to boosting your glow and speeding up healing.

→ Need help choosing the right products? Not every moisturizer is created equal. Schedule an appointment—we’ll help tailor a routine specifically for your skin type and goals.

June is Men’s Health Month — a great time to shine a spotlight on skin health, especially when finding ways to help prevent skin cancer and improving daily skin care routines.

Why are monthly skin self-exams so important for men?

Many men skip this simple habit, but melanoma can appear anywhere on the body, even in areas not typically exposed to the sun. It can happen at any age and on any skin type. One relatable reminder: Bob Marley died from melanoma that started on his toe.

That’s why during full-body skin exams, your Dermatologist checks everywhere — including the feet.

Our advice:
• Do a monthly self-check
• Schedule a yearly full skin exam with a Dermatology Provider
• Prioritize prevention, just like you would an annual physical or dental visit

And don’t forget daily skin care. Yes, guys — a good moisturizer matters. It helps repair the skin barrier, retain hydration, and improve the appearance and texture of your skin. For best results, apply immediately after showering.

Want to simplify your routine? Look for a moisturizer with SPF — protect and hydrate in one step.

Skin health is part of your overall health. Take care of it, and it will take care of you.

June is Scleroderma Awareness Month 💙

Scleroderma is a chronic autoimmune disorder that causes hardening and tightening of the skin and connective tissues. The name itself comes from the Greek words meaning "hard skin." But this condition can affect far more than just the skin — it can involve the heart, lungs, kidneys, blood vessels, and joints.

👉 There are two primary types of scleroderma:
• Localized Scleroderma, such as morphea or linear scleroderma, often affects only the skin and underlying tissues.
• Systemic Sclerosis can affect the entire body, with two main forms:
• Limited Cutaneous Scleroderma, often associated with CREST syndrome (Calcinosis, Raynaud’s, Esophageal dysfunction, Sclerodactyly, and Telangiectasia)
• Diffuse Cutaneous Scleroderma, which progresses rapidly and can cause serious internal organ damage.

👩‍⚕️ Scleroderma is more common in women but affects people of all ages and ethnicities. Early diagnosis, regular monitoring, and symptom management are essential to improving quality of life and limiting complications.

While there is no cure yet, advancements in research and care continue to offer hope.

Let’s raise awareness, support those living with scleroderma, and spread knowledge that can lead to earlier diagnoses and better outcomes.
