You're right about the insulin link — you've just attached it to the wrong lesion. Skin tags and insulin resistance? That association is well documented. Seborrhoeic keratoses are a different thing entirely. They're driven by changes inside the skin cells themselves, plus age and years of sun. Not by what's on your plate. And on the diet question, I'm not going to tell you how to eat. I use carbs, I train for triathlon, I'd be face down in a ditch without them. Keto changes everything for some people and is impossible for others. That's not a contradiction, that's just people. Free spot-check checklist — link in profile.

Do you know what questions to ask your GP about your acne? 🤔

When you’re sitting in an appointment, it can be easy to forget what you wanted to ask or which details are important to mention — especially when appointments can go by so quickly.

That’s why we’ve created our GP Visit Sheet. It’s designed to help you prepare beforehand, from noting the treatments you’ve already tried to knowing what questions to ask about prescriptions, side effects and your next steps.

Save it, fill it in before your appointment and take it with you to help you get the most out of your GP visit. 🤍

Not one clinical trial. Not a single one — and there never will be, because there’s no patent in castor oil and no profit in proving it works. What I do have is your comments. One of you had a spot behind the ear that kept catching on a hairbrush, dabbed castor oil on nightly, and it went and never came back. Several said it looked bigger for a fortnight before it disappeared. But the man who did it every night for three years with no change is in those comments too, and he counts just as much. No evidence, no real harm, no cost — which makes it a fair thing to try. Just get the spot checked first if it’s new or changing. Free spot-check checklist — link in profile.

If you work with skin, you know the feeling — the mole or lesion you’re not quite sure about.
This is a practical foundation day to take that doubt away. You’ll leave with a simple system for telling the harmless from the ones that matter, and knowing exactly when to refer. No dermoscopy experience needed — we start at the beginning.
It’s for GPs, nurses, pharmacists, and aesthetic and skin therapists — anyone who examines skin.
