August is Hair Loss Awareness Month

Hair loss can affect anyone, and while it's common, it's not something you have to simply accept. Understanding the cause is the first step toward finding the right treatment.

🔍 Did You Know?
Hair loss can happen for many different reasons. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, some of the most common causes include:

• Hereditary Hair Loss – The most common cause of hair loss in both men and women.
• Aging – Hair naturally becomes thinner as we get older.
• Alopecia Areata – An autoimmune condition that causes the body to attack hair follicles, leading to patchy hair loss.
• Cancer Treatments – Chemotherapy and radiation can cause temporary hair loss.
• Stress, Illness, or Childbirth – Significant physical or emotional stress can trigger increased shedding, often several months later.

👩‍⚕️ When Should You See a Dermatologist?
Schedule an evaluation if you notice:
• Sudden or excessive shedding
• Thinning hair or a widening part
• Patchy bald spots
• Hair loss after an illness or major life event
• Changes in your scalp, such as redness, scaling, or irritation

The sooner the cause is identified, the more treatment options may be available. Early intervention often leads to better outcomes.

💙 What NOT to Say to Someone Experiencing Hair Loss
Hair loss can have a significant emotional impact. Instead of offering quick fixes or comparisons, avoid comments such as:
• "It's just hair."
• "At least it's not something worse."
• "Have you tried this miracle product?"
• "Nobody notices."
• "You should just wear a hat/wig."

A little empathy can go a long way.

If you're concerned about hair loss, don't wait. A board-certified dermatologist can help determine the cause and create a personalized treatment plan to help with your hair restoration goals.

August is Psoriasis Awareness Month

Psoriasis is more than just dry or irritated skin. It's a chronic autoimmune condition that causes skin cells to build up too quickly, leading to inflamed, itchy, and sometimes painful patches on the skin.

🔍 Common Symptoms of Psoriasis
• Red, raised patches of skin covered with silvery scales
• Itching, burning, or soreness
• Dry, cracked skin that may bleed
• Thickened or ridged nails
• Joint pain or stiffness, which may be a sign of psoriatic arthritis

💙 Why Awareness Matters
Psoriasis affects millions of people and can impact more than just the skin. It may affect sleep, self-confidence, daily activities, and overall quality of life. Early diagnosis and proper treatment can help manage symptoms and reduce the risk of complications.

✨ Treatment Options Are Available
While there is no cure for psoriasis, many effective treatments can help control symptoms, including:
• Prescription topical medications
• Light therapy
• Oral medications
• Biologic therapies that target the immune system
• Personalized treatment plans based on your specific needs

If you're experiencing symptoms of psoriasis or struggling to manage your condition, a Dermatology Provider can help you find the right treatment plan.

June is Men's Health Month!

Taking care of your skin is an important part of your overall health. Whether you're clean-shaven or sporting a beard, healthy skin starts with a few simple habits:
✓ Shave after a warm shower to soften facial hair
✓ Use a sharp, clean razor and shave in the direction of hair growth
✓ Apply a moisturizer after shaving to help reduce irritation
✓ Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day, even on cloudy days
✓ Check your skin regularly for any new, changing, or unusual spots

One of the most important steps men can take for their skin health is scheduling an annual full skin exam. Skin cancer is highly treatable when detected early, and a professional skin check can help identify concerns before they become serious.

This Men's Health Month, make your skin health a priority. Schedule your annual skin exam at IdahoDerm.com.

What causes acne, and when should you see a Dermatologist for treatment?

June is Acne Awareness Month. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, acne is the most common skin condition in the United States, affecting up to 50 million Americans annually.

While acne is often associated with the teenage years, it can affect people of all ages. Without proper treatment, acne can lead to permanent scarring and changes in skin pigmentation.

Treatment options vary based on the type and severity of acne and may include prescription topical medications, oral medications, hormonal therapies, and other dermatologist-recommended treatments designed to reduce breakouts and prevent scarring.

If acne is affecting your skin or confidence, don't wait to seek treatment. Early intervention can make a significant difference in achieving clearer skin and preventing long-term damage.

Schedule an appointment with a Dermatology Provider to discuss your treatment options, IdahoDerm.com.

Does acne get worse when the weather turns warm?

For many people, the answer is yes. Heat, humidity, and increased sweating can contribute to excess oil production, clogged pores, and more frequent breakouts. Seasonal shifts can also worsen common concerns like:
• Acne and breakouts
• Oily or congested skin
• Dry or dehydrated patches
• Uneven texture and tone
• Post-acne discoloration

While social media skin care trends may promise quick fixes, not every viral routine is appropriate for acne-prone or sensitive skin and some can actually make breakouts worse.

The most effective approach is a personalized plan based on your skin type, triggers, and goals.

If you are struggling with acne or seasonal skin changes, schedule an appointment at to meet with a Dermatology Provider and create a treatment plan tailored to you, IdahoDerm.com.
