Eclipse moles are benign moles on the scalp of children that typically have a tan center and a darker brown rim. Sometimes they are even misdiagnosed as ring worm šŸ˜…

Approximately 20% of moles on the scalp are eclipse moles and despite the fact that they meet some of the criteria for atypical moles (the ABCDEs) they are completely harmless. ā¤ļø

Babies have thin skin.

This makes them more likely to have irritation and also more likely to absorb the sunscreen ingredients into their body.

The FDA does not test sunscreens in babies under 6mo for these reasons, so sun avoidance and physical barriers are the BEST way to keep your babies protected this summer!

šŸ‘™Anyone have a favorite brand of UPF kids swimwear?

šŸ¦ŸBug bites are CRAZY in kids!

They can have rings around them, cause an entire ear or eye to swell, they can even cause blisters!

Most these are itchy and they resolve without treatment, although some Cortisone 10 can be really helpful!

If you want recs on a bug spray check out my reel about what to pick for kids!

Always remember that kids donā€™t lie ā€” if thereā€™s fever, if they donā€™t look or feel well, take them in for a check up! Itā€™s not ALWAYS a big bite!

My brain is always overloaded at the pool and beachšŸ¤Ŗ

Remembering a million things, plus taking care of the kids and yourself (and your husband lol)ā€¦ itā€™s SO easy to forget to reapply sunscreen every 2hours!

I typically recommend setting a 2hr timer on your phone, but these stickers are a great back-up plan and you can involve your kids in the process!

Once the sticker is applied and you put sunscreen on it, you will notice it turns purple when the sunscreen wears off. In fact, it may tell you to re-apply sooner because water and sweating can cause the sunscreen to wear off earlier.

A few tips:
ā˜€ļøPlace in an area that doesnā€™t sweat too much
ā˜€ļøHands are good for babies but not toddlers
ā˜€ļøWash the location or clean with alcohol to get the best stick!

Have you tried them? Let me know what you think!

Getting a wart removed can be scary! Especially if you donā€™t know what to expectā€”

Not every wart is cut off, in fact many of them respond to topical medicines or freezing, but when they are large or donā€™t improve with treatment, cutting them can be the best option!

You know your kids best, but I find itā€™s helpful if they know in advance what to expectā€” tell them that the numbing will hurt (donā€™t sugar coat it!). It feels similar to other shots or vaccines they previously have received but sometimes in a sensitive location like a finger or toe!

Ouch!šŸ˜…

But once the numbing medicine goes in, itā€™s pretty much instantly numb. Then the rest is easy! ā¤ļø

Hope this helps!

Every parent knows that keeping kids nails and toenails clean is not as simple as just taking a shower!

Sometimes it feels like they drag their nails through the dirt just to mess with us šŸ˜…

This is a simple way to clean under the nails without damaging the nail bed. Itā€™s fun to use an old kids tooth brush but sometimes you need bristles that are slightly more firmā€”

Let me know how it goes!

Iā€™ll give you some adviceā€¦ your parents skin is a good indication of what your own skin will look like UNLESS you make an effort to protect it.

Most our parents were applying baby oil and roasting in the sun, but I definitely do not do that!šŸ˜…

As for our littles? Some studies estimate that up to 80% of our lifetime damage happens in our youth. As parents we get to help change that for our kidsā¤ļø

If you are lucky enough to have sunshine this holiday (we have rain all weekend), I hope youā€™re wearing your sunscreenšŸ˜˜

Happy Memorial Day everyone!

I stand with my colleagues: this kind of coverage does real harm.

When media platforms amplify sunscreen fear, they donā€™t just confuse peopleā€” they contribute to a genuine public health crisis.

Anti-sunscreen culture is rising. UV index chasing is trending. And skin cancer rates are climbing. We need better from our major news outlets!

To my colleagues and followers! Letā€™s wear our sunscreen and teach our loved ones to do the sameā¤ļø
