Aside the buzz, let’s add something new to our book of knowledge of diseases.

Alopecia = hairloss. There are different types of alopecia but I’m touching on Alopecia areata.

This is an autoimmune disorder. Autoimmune means the body attacks itself which leads to the damage of the hair follicles and then hairloss.

Clinical patterns of hair loss is demonstrated in second slide.

There can also be alopecia totalis where all scalp hair is lost and alopecia universalis where there is total body hair loss.

==============================
This can affect both men and women but the disease is more severe in women.

👉🏾How we do we treat this currently ?

Challenging to treat. It is managed with steroid scalp injections at the site of hair loss. Additionally, vasodilators like minoxidil and topical retinoids. In kids we do steroid creams over injections. Relapse can happen post cycle of treatment.

The care given to your has an impact on its health and ageing process.

In your 30s, production of natural moisturizing factors and hydrating factors tend to decrease.
Skin turnover is slower and you start to notice fine lines on your skin.
Your skin recovers less easily from inflammation as compared to your teenage years and early 20s.

Antioxidants will help to fight free radicals and repair some of the damage from tsun exposure. It will also help brighten dull looking skin. Daily will mitigate further sun damage.
Retinols will help increase your skin cell turnover and moisturizers will give you the needed hydration and help with your skin barrier.

Yesterday, a client of mine came with two of her girls. Both wanted to be doctors. One said she wanted to be a plastic surgeon, and the other wanted to be a Pediatric dermatologist ( don’t even know where they heard these specialties from ☺️😅)

They asked so many questions about my life, my job, whether I was happy with & at my job???? 😳😦… How many years I had studied… why I left general practice? 🙆🏽‍♀️

As young girls, their curiosity, knowledge and even attentiveness was just amazing. Mother obviously is doing a great job.

Now I have MAJOR baby fever🥺.

Happy International women’s day.

Repost from

This couldn’t be truer. Continuous stress is a top trigger for breakouts. Stress related hormones like cortisol increases oil production in our oil producing glands which mixes with dead skin cells where the P.acne bacteria can thrive. Especially in adulthood where our skin cell turnover is slow and there is a build up of dead skin cells if you don’t exfoliate.

Stress leads to poor sleep which also has negative effects on skin.

Good vibes only dear. It is great for our skin!
