Most common medical skin conditions for women
Not unlike their teenage kids, many women still suffer from acne breakouts! Some have a bit of lingering acne from their younger years, but many actually see worsening of their acne in adulthood, particularly around the jawline.
Adult women also commonly struggle with rosacea, which often gets worse with age, as does hyperpigmentation and sun damage.
“A lot of women see their skin changing and buy all kinds of over the counter products to try to reverse it,” Dr. Tracey details. “There is no way for them to know what is useful and what is just a marketing ploy. A medical professional can help women navigate that world so they don’t waste their time and money on things that don’t work.”
For adults, it is also prudent to schedule a full body skin cancer exam, so the experts can check for any suspicious lesions and assess your risk.
Most common skin goals for women
Everyone likes to put their best face forward and feel confident and happy in their skin.
Some of the most common skin care issues women identify are:
- Anti-aging
- Wrinkles
- Texture
- Discoloration
- Many also struggle with their body shape.
“It’s important in my initial consultation with women to fully understand their goals and develop a plan together that makes sense for them. Then, follow up visits are crucial to track progress and make sure we are optimizing their skin care regimen,” Dr. Tracey says.
