Can’t get rid of stubborn acne? Worried about a certain mole? Unexplained dry, red and itchy skin? It may be time to make an appointment with your dermatologist. Skin conditions aren’t always outwardly obvious, and they can pop up at any time. Seasonal weather, personal environment, hygiene and more can make an impact on skin.
With more than 25 years in the business of healing skin with natural botanicals, TriDerma is here to help provide insights on your skin and its irritations. Here are four signs when it may be time to visit your dermatologist.
You’ve been in the sun.
Skin cancer isn’t contained to a specific age range or skin type. Abnormal moles can form as early as your teen years and can change as your grow, especially when you frequent the sun. Some may even need removal, which means getting them examined early on is crucial. Abnormal moles are commonly recognized as having irregular edges, uneven in color, or changing size or shape. Since it’s unlikely that you have a mole-trained eye, let your doctor do an overall inspection of your spots. Moles should be checked approximately every three to six months, especially if your family has a history of melanoma. As always, we recommend starting your day with a good SPF product, like TriDerma’s Light & Delicate™ Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30.
Your skin is irritated or itchy.
Do you have a persistent itch and can’t determine the cause? It may be dry skin or, if lasting for an extended amount of time, psoriasis or dermatitis. Dermatitis is a general skin condition that is caused from direct skin irritation. Associated conditions are atopic and contact dermatitis, eczema or certain fungal infections. Beware that detergents, soaps and other products with heavy chemicals may cause an unfavorable reaction on your skin. Skin irritations aren’t always caused externally, though. Itching that lasts for six weeks or more may be urticarial, or chronic hives, which don’t have a known cause. For whatever type of itch you’re experiencing, visit your doctor so they can pinpoint your condition. TriDerma offers a variety of fast healing, over the counter products to help with skin irritations like psoriasis, eczema and even your everyday rash.
You’re dealing with stubborn acne.
If you have stubborn acne, you know how frustrating it can be. Resistant acne can be caused by a number of reasons, including stress and hormones. Your doctor can give an in-depth evaluation of your skin and determine the underlying reasons for your pimples. From there, we always recommend starting with a natural, botanical based cleanser. Then, a moisturizer, serum and/or spot treatment to target your problem areas.
You’re turning red.
Do people ask why you’re always blushing or if you just got a sunburn? Your relentless redness may be rosacea. If you feel frequently flushed, have bumps and pimples, persistent redness, or visible blood vessels, and are around 30 years are older, don’t ignore these symptoms. This calls for a consultation with your doctor to talk through symptoms, potential lifestyle changes and next steps. Try TriDerma’s Facial Redness Repair as a daily moisturizer to help improve skin’s overall appearance and those prone to redness, sensitivity and Rosacea
