Is your skin already feeling the effects of colder weather?

As temperatures drop and the heat kicks on indoors, your skin can start to feel dry, tight, itchy, and irritated.

Cold outdoor air combined with dry indoor heat can strip your skin of moisture, making conditions like eczema and sensitive skin even more uncomfortable.

A few tips to keep your skin happy this season:
🍂 Switch to a thicker, fragrance-free moisturizer.
🍂 Avoid long, hot showers that can dry out your skin.
🍂 Use a humidifier to add moisture back into the air.
🍂 Don't forget your sunscreen, even when it's chilly!

If your skin is persistently dry, itchy, or irritated, it may be time for a little professional help.

At Westminster Dermatology, we're here to help you keep your skin healthy and comfortable all year long.

Your wardrobe isn't the only thing that needs to change with the seasons. Your skincare routine does, too!

As temperatures drop and the heat comes on indoors, your skin can start feeling the effects. Dryness, irritation, flaking, and even unexpected breakouts are common as we transition into colder weather.

But here's something many people don't realize: Your skin's needs change throughout the year, and the products that worked all summer might not be doing enough for you now!

At Westminster Dermatology, we can help you understand what your skin needs to stay healthy, comfortable, and looking its best.

Whether you're struggling with persistent dryness, acne, sensitive skin, or simply want to improve your skincare routine, our team is here to help!

Healthy skin isn't just about looking good. It's about feeling good in your skin, all year long.

Is your moisturizer actually doing its job? Here are the signs it might be time for a change.

Why Does Your Skin Seem to Itch More in the Winter?

If you've noticed your skin feeling drier, tighter, or itchier as the temperatures drop, you're not imagining things!

Cold winter air holds less moisture, and indoor heating can make the air inside your home even drier. This combination pulls moisture from your skin, weakens its natural protective barrier, and can leave nerve endings more sensitive, triggering that uncomfortable winter itch.

At Westminster Dermatology, we know how frustrating dry, itchy skin can be, especially for those who already struggle with eczema or other sensitive skin conditions.

The good news? A few simple changes can make a big difference!

Moisturize often. Apply a thick, fragrance-free cream or ointment right after bathing to help lock in moisture.

Skip the hot showers. Use lukewarm water and keep showers short to avoid stripping your skin's natural oils.

Add moisture to the air. A humidifier can help combat the drying effects of indoor heating.

Choose gentle products. Avoid harsh soaps, fragrances, and skincare products that can irritate already sensitive skin.

Resist the urge to scratch. Scratching can further irritate your skin and make itching worse.

Don't let winter leave you feeling uncomfortable in your own skin!

If persistent itching, dryness, or irritation is affecting your daily life, the team at Westminster Dermatology can help identify the cause and recommend treatments to bring relief.

Healthy, comfortable skin is possible all year long!

When Was the Last Time You Checked Your Moles?

Most moles are completely harmless, but knowing what to look for and recognizing changes in your skin can play an important role in the early detection of skin cancer.

At Westminster Dermatology, we encourage our patients to be proactive about their skin health by performing regular self-exams and scheduling routine professional skin checks.

One of the easiest ways to remember what to look for is the ABCDEs of melanoma:

A – Asymmetry: One half of a mole looks different from the other.

B – Border: Edges are irregular, uneven, or poorly defined.

C – Color: The mole has multiple colors or uneven pigmentation.

D – Diameter: Melanomas are often larger than 6mm, about the size of a pencil eraser, but can be smaller.

E – Evolving: A mole changes in size, shape, color, or appearance over time.

And remember, not all skin cancers follow these warning signs. Any new, unusual, bleeding, or non-healing spot deserves attention.

Don't spend time worrying about a suspicious spot when you can have it professionally evaluated.

If you've noticed a changing mole or something on your skin that concerns you, the team at Westminster Dermatology is here to help.

Early detection matters. Schedule your skin exam today!

As temperatures drop and the air becomes drier, you may start noticing itchy skin, flaking, redness, or increased sensitivity. For those living with conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea, seasonal changes can also trigger uncomfortable flare-ups.

At Westminster Dermatology, we want to help you keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and comfortable as we transition into the colder months.

Here are a few simple ways to prepare your skin:

Moisturize daily. Switch to a richer cream or ointment to help lock in moisture.

Turn down the water temperature. Long, hot showers can strip your skin of its natural oils.

Use a humidifier. Adding moisture back into your home's air can help combat dryness caused by indoor heating.

Choose gentle skincare products. Avoid harsh cleansers and heavily fragranced products that may irritate sensitive skin.

Don't forget sunscreen! UV protection is still important, even when it's cold outside.

If you're experiencing persistent dryness, irritation, or flare-ups that aren't improving with your usual skincare routine, it may be time to visit your dermatologist.

Healthy skin is a year-round priority! Let the team at Westminster Dermatology help you keep your skin feeling its best, no matter what Maryland's weather brings.

Cooler Weather Doesn't Mean Your Skin Is Safe from the Sun!

Crisp mornings, colorful leaves, cozy sweaters, and beautiful fall days in Maryland! It's the perfect time to get outside and enjoy everything autumn has to offer.

But before you head out for a hike, visit a pumpkin patch, or spend the afternoon enjoying the fall foliage, there's something important to remember.

Just because the temperatures are dropping doesn't mean UV exposure is!

Sunburn and sun damage are caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation, not heat. Even on cool, cloudy fall days, UV rays can reach your skin and contribute to premature aging, sunspots, and an increased risk of skin cancer.

At Westminster Dermatology, we want to remind you that sun protection is important all year long, not just during the summer months!

A few simple ways to protect your skin this fall:

Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher before heading outdoors.

Reapply sunscreen every two hours when spending extended time outside.

Don't skip sunscreen just because it's cloudy or chilly.

Wear sunglasses and protective clothing when possible.

Pay attention to changes in your skin and schedule regular skin checks.

Enjoy the beauty of fall without forgetting to protect your skin!

And remember, if you've noticed a new or changing spot, or it's simply been a while since your last skin exam, our team at Westminster Dermatology is here to help.

Early detection can make all the difference when it comes to skin cancer.

Changes in your skin are not always obvious, and spots that look harmless may deserve a closer look. Regular skin exams give your dermatologist the opportunity to identify suspicious areas early, when skin cancers are often easier to treat.

At Westminster Dermatology, we encourage you to make skin checks part of your regular healthcare routine, especially if you have a history of sun exposure, tanning, frequent sunburns, or skin cancer in your family.

And if you notice a mole or spot that is new, changing, itching, bleeding, or simply looks different from the others, don’t wait for your next routine visit.
Protect your skin. Know your skin. Get checked.

10/07/2026

Years of sun exposure can show up on your skin as brown spots, uneven tone, redness, rough texture, fine lines, and other visible changes. While we can’t erase every effect of UV exposure, many of the signs we see on the surface can be improved with the right dermatologic treatment plan.

More importantly, sun damage isn’t always cosmetic. UV exposure can also cause cellular damage that increases the risk of precancerous spots and skin cancer, making regular skin checks an important part of caring for your skin.

At Westminster Dermatology, we can help you evaluate your skin, discuss concerns from past sun exposure, and determine which treatment options may be right for you.

Your skin has a history. Let’s take good care of its future.
