Phytophotodermatitis 🌿☀️
aka “margarita burn”

That streaky, drip-like rash? It’s not random.

When citrus (like lime or lemon) + sunlight hit your skin, it can trigger a chemical reaction that leads to redness, blistering, and later dark pigmentation in the exact pattern it touched your skin.

Common culprits:
• Limes (hello margaritas 🍹)
• Lemons, celery, parsley
• Outdoor + sun exposure

What it looks like:
→ Drip marks, handprints, or streaks
→ Burning or blistering first
→ Then lingering dark spots for weeks

What to do:
✔ Wash skin after contact with citrus
✔ Avoid sun exposure to the area
✔ Use sunscreen
✔ Topicals if inflamed (and patience for the pigment)

Not an infection. Not contagious. Just chemistry + sun.☀️

Diaper rash tip you probably haven’t heard of 👀👇

For babies with persistent diaper rash—especially with frequent loose stools—this is one of those inside-out approaches:

🥦 Pureed green beans (in the diet, not on the skin)

This comes from small clinical studies and NICU practice where green bean puree is added to feedings.

Why it works:
• Natural fiber helps bulk up stool
• Less liquid stool = less skin irritation + breakdown
• Targets the cause, not just the rash

👉 This is NOT a topical treatment
👉 It’s about improving stool consistency to protect the skin

⚠️ Keep in mind:
• Only for babies already eating solids
• Use plain puree (no additives)
• Still use your barrier creams (zinc is key)
• If rash is severe, bleeding, or not improving → get it evaluated

🚨 ALCOHOL was just named Contact Allergen of the Year 🚨

Your skincare might be sabotaging your skin—and you’d never know 👀

New insights show that certain forms of alcohol—commonly found in skincare, cosmetics, and even medications—can act as hidden irritants or allergens for some patients.

⸻

🔍 What to watch for:
• 🔥 Burning or stinging with products
• 🌡️ Redness, dryness, or flaking
• 😩 “Sensitive skin” that won’t calm down
• 🚫 Dermatitis not improving with treatment

⸻

⚠️ Common culprits:
• Alcohol denat (SD alcohol)
• Ethanol-based products
• Fragrance-containing products (often paired with alcohol)

⸻

💡 Good to know:
Not ALL alcohols are bad 👇
✔️ Fatty alcohols (cetyl, cetearyl) = typically safe + moisturizing

⸻

🧴 If your skin is acting up:
It may not be “sensitive skin”… it could be your products.

✨ Simplify your routine.
✨ Check your ingredient lists.
✨ When in doubt, ask your dermatology provider.

👀 Can you name this lesion?

Did you say… ringworm? You’re not alone — I see this all the time in clinic.

While it looks like ring worm (tinea corporis), this is actually granuloma annulare.

✨ Quick derm pearl:Granuloma annulare is a benign, non-infectious inflammatory condition that forms smooth, skin-colored to pink ring-shaped plaques, often on the hands, feet, elbows, or knees.➡️ Not contagious➡️ Often asymptomatic➡️ Can resolve on its own (but sometimes hangs around longer than we’d like)

💡 Common mix-ups (aka your differential):• Tinea corporis (ringworm)• Nummular eczema• Annular psoriasis• Erythema annulare centrifugum• Subacute cutaneous lupus

Dermatology is a visual game… and sometimes it likes to trick you 😉

Spring sunshine feels amazing… but your skin might disagree 🌸☀️

If you’re noticing an itchy, red, bumpy rash popping up after those first sunny days, it could be polymorphic light eruption (PMLE)—a common “sun allergy” this time of year. After months of low UV exposure, your skin can overreact to sudden sunlight, especially on the chest, arms, and neck.

Good news: it’s harmless and often improves as your skin “hardens” to the sun. Protect yourself with daily SPF, gradual sun exposure, and protective clothing—your future skin will thank you.
