Nobody Has To Know
Nobody likes to talk about it but our vaginas are never the same after childbirth. Then, the natural aging process and hormonal shifts associated with menopause further take a toll. The result is a decline in vaginal health and appearance with symptoms like decreased lubrication, discomfort during intercourse, stress incontinence and labial laxity. The solution to this is vaginal rejuvenation, now offered at Spring Street Dermatology in New York, NY
Fortunately, technology is ...
When the Provider is the Patient: My Accutane Story, Part 3
In the great pharmacological arsenal of Western medicine, a few drugs are so embedded in the collective American consciousness that their names alone conjure up powerful, even emotional, associations. Oxycontin is one. Plan B, another. And Accutane, while not at the root of a nationwide opioid epidemic or vilified by pro-life extremists, is arguably the most controversial medication prescribed today by dermatologists in the U.S. For many patients, Accutane seems like an oral atomic bomb, ...
What to do About Back Acne
Summer in New York is a time for tank tops and bathing suits. Unfortunately, it is also the worst time for people prone to back acne, a.k.a. “bacne.” Heat, humidity and sweat lead to occlusion and clogged pores, trapping skin surface bacteria and attracting inflammation. Pimples on the back are often cystic, which means they are not only unsightly, but can be painful and leave marks. Fortunately, bacne sufferers can take steps to minimize and treat breakouts.

Sagging Skin: Why it Happens and What to do About it
Skin sagging is inevitable – it will happen to every single one of us if we live long enough. There are contributing factors beyond our control, such as age, genetics, and ethnicity. Then, there are some lifestyle choices we can make to help the cause.
The aging process affects the entire facial structure. Over the years, our skin thins. There is a decrease in collagen and elastin. Facial bones, the scaffolding that holds up our faces, begin to degenerate. The ...
Got Moles? Map Skin Changes with FotoFinder
May is the American Academy of Dermatology’s Skin Cancer Awareness Month, and with sunnier weather already upon us in New York, it is the perfect time to think about the health of your skin. Like other cancers, skin cancer is an abnormal growth of cells. It usually develops on areas of the skin exposed over time to damaging rays from the sun. Individuals with light skin who sunburn easily have a higher risk, but skin cancer can affect people of all skin types.
There are ...
When the Provider is the Patient: My Accutane Story, Part 2
The summer of 2017 was a bittersweet season for me. In late July, I celebrated my graduation from the York College/CUNY Physician Assistant Studies program after two grueling years of coursework and clinical rotations. And after months of confinement in New York, I was free to enjoy three weeks off with my friends in Maine and family back home in North Carolina. The only problem was, as I discussed in my previous blog post, my face. A mysterious bacterial infection had developed in my ...
What Your Nails Say About Your Health
Our nails are made of a protein called keratin. They consist of a nail plate, which is the part we see and paint with polish. The skin under the nail plate is the nail bed and the skin around it is the nail fold. A cuticle is thin tissue that covers the bottom of the nail to protect it as it grows from the root at proximal nail fold. Nails grow approximately 2-3 mm per day and take around 6 months to completely regenerate. Changes in the texture or coloring of the nails can ...
Why Get A VI Peel?
A VI Peel® is a dermatologic procedure offered by New York's Spring Street Dermatology in which a solution is applied to the skin to cause exfoliation and eventual peeling. As layers of old skin peel away, new skin that is brighter, smoother and more even comes to the surface. The VI Peel combines a variety of peeling elements, such as Phenol and TCA, with anti-aging ingredients, including vitamin C and retinol A, to immediately improve the tone and texture of your skin.

When the Provider is the Patient: My Accutane Story, Part 1
For most of my adulthood, I had maintained what you might call a “clean cut” appearance. I was probably 16 years old when I received a free Gillette Mach 3 in the mail. Since then, every two days during my morning shower, I had dutifully shaved my thick red beard, never letting it grow beyond a respectable stubble. Last spring, however, approaching the end of my clinical year of PA school, I had had enough. Beards were in! I was 35 and late to the trend. Time to relax and give the early ...
Get Your Skin Ready for Summer This Winter
Summer bodies are made in the winter. This is even truer in dermatology in NYC than it is in the gym. Spider veins, sweaty armpits, unwanted hair, and stubborn fat pockets can be gone by beach season… But you have to plan ahead!
Spider veins are superficial, dilated or stretched blood vessels that have a branching pattern and are commonly found on the legs. They tend to increase in number and become more prominent with age. Risk factors include genetics, female ...
