It is important to remember to take special care of your skin during the dry winter months.  Here are a few tips to make sure your skin stays moisturized and healthy.

 

1. Stay hydrated-drink plenty of water every day.

 

2. Avoid long baths or showers and use warm water. 

 

3. Pat skin dry after bathing, rubbing your skin dry can strip away essential oils.

 

4. Apply moisturizers while your skin is damp.

 

Picking the right moisturizer can be difficult, especially for those with combination skin.  Our dermatologists are available to help you choose which products are best for you.  We may even be able to see you the same day.

  

Center for Clinical studies is currently conducting studies for patients with moderate to severe psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis.

The Shingles Vaccine

by   Rana Mays, MD

           Karan Sra, MD

    

Herpes zoster (commonly known as shingles) results from reactivation of the varicella zoster virus (chickenpox) in the nerves causing a painful rash. The virus reactivation occurs many years after the initial infection of chicken pox and is primarily due to an age-related decline in immunity. Individuals with a history of chickenpox have a 10-20% lifetime chance of developing shingles, and those with a family history are at even more risk. Complications of shingles include but are not limited to significant pain, development of chronic pain or post herpetic neuralgia (PHN), bacterial superinfection, hypopigmentation, and hyperpigmentation. In immunocompromised patients such as the elderly, and patients with HIV, malignancy, and/or organ transplants, shingles can cause more serious disease and potentially death. Zostavax® (Merck) is a live attenuated vaccine (meaning virus is weakened and non-infectious) that is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for prevention of shingles.
