I’ve struggled with this for a long time as a doctor: What do you do when a patient doesn't smell good?

Shut up and do the job, or say something tactfully?

I need your feedback! 👇

hey, at least I’m out here catching melanomas and saving lives while they think I just “look at pimples all day”

Anyone else’s kids not impressed by your medical degree? 😂

Ear canal pimples and cysts are no joke! Infections here, especially with bacteria like Pseudomonas, need careful attention.

Going back to Walmart to buy my teenage skincare routine was a mistake 😅

I thought I’d get nostalgic. Instead, I got traumatized all over again.

We didn’t know about skin barriers back then. We just wanted to nuke our acne into submission.

Thank God for skincare education. Your teenagers have it so much better now.

What disaster products did you use as a teen?👀

Did you know chronic heating pad use can cause this permanent skin condition called Erythema ab igne?

Be careful how often you use heating pads or space heaters!

Are you casting a vote for the person you want to be?

Focus on adopting a new identity rather than just setting a goal, and you'll be much more likely to be successful.

This identity-based approach can work for weight loss, improving your diet, or getting to work on time!

Clean beauty" is the biggest marketing scam in skincare 🚫

Here's what actually matters: proven ingredients with decades of research. Not whether something sounds "natural."

Water is a chemical. Everything is a chemical. Stop falling for fear-based marketing.

Your wallet and your skin will thank you.

Your location shouldn’t determine if you live or die 🚐

Too many people in rural communities go without specialty care because they can’t afford it or travel hundreds of miles to see a doctor.

So in 2023, I brought the doctor to them.

My mobile clinic travels across Idaho providing free skin cancer screenings and dermatology care to those who need it most.

Healthcare is a human right, not a privilege for those who can afford it.

Trump’s hand bruise has everyone speculating again 🤔
