Do you experience stubborn chapped lips during the cold winter months? You’re not alone! For many, lip balm doesn’t always do the trick, but it’s not the only solution!
Dermatologists have other solutions up their sleeves that you can try this winter to heal your dry, flaky and/or bleeding lips:
▪️ Humidify your environments such as your bedroom or office regularly.
▪️ Don’t lick your lips! This can dry them out even more.
▪️ If you use lip balm, try a formula that is greasy, scent-free and with very few ingredients (e.g., Petroleum Jelly)
▪️ Moisten lips with a damp cloth soaked in lukewarm water for about 10 to 20 seconds, applying a thick greasy lip balm immediately after to lock in the moisture.
If your chapped lips continue, and appear red, itchy or swollen, visit your dermatologist who can help find a solution that works for you.

Brittle hair – be gone! This winter, if you have dry, crispy, and straw-like hair, treat it with care by following these dermatologist approved tips for healthy hair.
▪️ Avoid heavy-duty styling – go heat free for at least a few days a week. On the days you heat style, wait until your hair is 70% dry before styling.
▪️ Put a mask on it – While using a conditioner with every wash can help tame flyways and frizz, an additional hair mask once a week will help to protect the cuticle and amp up the silkiness.
▪️ Push it an extra day – Skip washing your hair by a day or two! Washing too frequently can strip hair of its natural oils.
▪️ Line with satin or silk – Wool, cotton and other course fabrics used for winter hats and headbands can rub against your strands and cause major breakage. Find a hat or headband that is lined with silk or satin as it’ll help tame the frizz and breakage.

Prevent your skin from feeling tight, itchy, and flakey by following these easy tips this winter:
▪️ Avoid antibacterial soaps and cleansers.

Eczema can be tricky to treat, often requiring a treatment plan from a dermatologist who can assess your condition and recommend the best course of treatment. Most types of eczema require a combination of treatments and medications. The three main steps of eczema management involve bathing and moisturizing to repair the skin, medications to reduce inflammation, and avoiding triggers that cause flare-ups.
In many cases, prescription medication to help treat eczema may be required. Some prescription medications include:
▪️ Antibiotics
▪️ Corticosteroids
▪️ Topical Calcineurin Inhibitors
▪️ Phototherapy
Learn more about the types of prescription medications available at https://dermatology.ca/eczema

This , celebrate with us the many achievements of Canadian dermatologists that have left a mark within the specialty in Canada, and for some, even across the world.
1935: Mary Eliza Scofield becomes the first woman to practice dermatology in Canada, laying the foundation for future Canadian female dermatologists.
.
.
1963: Dr. William Pace revolutionizes the treatment of acne with benzoyl peroxide, which is now used globally on a wide scale in both nonprescription and prescription medications.
.
.
1987: Drs. Jean and Alastair Carruthers discover the cosmetic properties of botulinum toxin, also known as “Botox”, which is now a common treatment used for a wide variety of skin related concerns.
.
.
These milestones only scratch the surface in Canadian dermatology history, and we look forward to more milestones to be achieved in the future.

Individuals with eczema lack an essential oil in their skin which keeps it from retaining water, leaving the skin dry and more sensitive to irritants.
If you have eczema, follow these dermatologist approved to “do’s” to ensure your skin receives the love it needs!
▪️ Use mild detergents to wash clothing, with no bleach or fabric softener
▪️ Double-rinse clothing
▪️ Moisturize often, especially in colder weather
▪️ Choose cotton for bed linens and clothing
▪️ Reduce stress as much as possible

Depending on the job, individuals can develop contact dermatitis while at work. Among all occupational dermatitis, irritant contact dermatitis accounts for approx. 80% and allergic contact dermatitis 30%.
If you are experiencing eczema-like symptoms such as red, itchy and inflamed skin, and question if it’s occupational eczema, ask yourself these questions:
▪️ Did your skin problem start when you changed jobs?
▪️ Does your skin problem improve when you are away from your job?
▪️ Do you think that any specific substance at work is causing your skin problem?
If you have answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, consult your dermatologist.

Most teens are affected by acne to some degree due to hormonal changes that happen in puberty. If you have acne, see a certified #dermatologist. They know how to treat it and can help you avoid worsening of the condition and scarring. Learn more about skincare and acne on our website: https://bit.ly/2WRwZOz #AcneAwarenessMonth
Acne that starts during adolescence may continue into adulthood, in milder or more severe form. Adult acne, or post-adolescent acne, is acne that occurs after age 25. Hormone fluctuations are usually responsible, which is why some women may suffer ‘cyclical acne’ that shows up before menstrual periods, or flare-ups during pregnancy or menopause. If you find yourself skipping events and outings with friends, or if breakouts upset you, it's time to see a certified dermatologist who can help clear up your skin.

#TBT Video: Certified #dermatologist Dr Julia Carroll discusses the effects of #rosacea. Rosacea affects more than 3 million people in Canada. It is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that results in facial redness and flushing. There is no single cause of rosacea, and it may be different for every individual. Unfortunately, rosacea does not resolve on its own, and untreated rosacea can worsen over time. Unlike acne, self-treating with over-the-counter products may not help, and may even irritate skin more — causing more redness and bumps. Consult a certified dermatologist for appropriate treatment options. Find out more about Rosacea on our website: https://bit.ly/2zx48xQ

Made for Shade! The Edmond Aubé Park is the future site of a neighbourhood park in Beresford, New Brunswick. The park, well used in the past, was due for a rejuvenation. The old structures were removed to make place for a renovation project led by a citizen committee from the neighbourhood. The park will be a meeting point for the community and will see play structures, park benches, trees and greenery added as well as picnic tables and benches. Thanks to the Canadian Dermatology Association, a 20x20 ft. shade structure will be added to provide needed shade for families and users of the park to rest, have a picnic or just sit in an open air space. The area surrounding the structure and swings are still in the final construction phase.

Check out this exciting video of the completed shade structure from one of our 2020 CDA Shade Structure Grant Program recipients, Ville de Delson in Quebec. “We estimate that the Centennial Park will attract the population of the surrounding municipalities, which number more than 75,000 people. The diversity of the offer and the location of the place make it a unique green infrastructure for the region. In addition, this park will expand the cultural offer since the planned facilities (agora, amphitheater and historical interpretation trail) are likely to host exhibition and concert type events, and create a place of cultural gathering. With so much traffic, it is essential to protect park users from the sun's rays by installing a solar shelter made up of fabrics that offer protection against UV rays. This solar shelter will also provide a shaded area for cooling off on hot summer days. In addition, the park must meet the standards for universal accessibility and the shelter must be accessible to all. The roof will be composed of Coolnet fabrics specially designed to offer resistance, durability and protection against UV rays. These fabrics form robust shelters whose level of maintenance will be almost non-existent. The shade structure will be installed near the parking lot at the entrance of the park and will protect some picnic tables.” Please note that applications for the program are closed. https://bit.ly/2Bi1rXe
