This one is dedicated to Cliffo, who’s on Townsville, Australia’s hit music station! (Home of Cliffo and Bec). He is a fellow admitted popaholic, and I just had the best convo on the radio with the two of them! Listen to HOTFM Townsville today! This vid is of a lovely patient came to see me […]

Many of you ask me to keep you updated on my patients, asking how they look after their surgeries. This gentleman had 3 cysts removed via punch excision, using a 4mm punch biopsy tool, about one month ago. This was a procedure done under local anesthesia, the cyst sac and internal contents were removed completely, […]

Initially, I thought these bumps lateral to this patient’s left eye were solar comedones due to their location and his history of chronic sun exposure. However, the bumps extracted were pearly, slightly firm tiny cysts, so I believe they were milia. Milia are very superficial cysts which commonly occur on the face, in particular around […]

This sweet gentleman came in for his biannual skin exam, and as we were finishing, he mentioned that he had a white bump on his right cheek that his wife wondered if we could evaluate and possibly treat. How could I resist? Have a great weekend everyone! source

This is a great example of why I love my job… I’m lucky to have these wonderful patients that I get to develop a relationship with, who make you laugh, who you look forward to seeing. And the bonus is, I get to extract their blackheads. Hopefully, someday he will appreciate that I did so… […]
