The difference between blackheads & milia

Do you know the difference between a blackhead and a milia? Blackheads and whiteheads are also known as open and closed comedones. They are dilated pores that are plugged with keratin. Whiteheads are closed, meaning there is skin covering the comedone. Blackheads are open, exposed to air. Air oxidizes the keratin, causing it to turn […]

Three little blackheads. For medical education- NSFE

This patient has 3 blackheads that I extracted, with two of them under his right eye. I put a little numbing in the area, and this can often create a visible bruise in the area that is difficult to avoid, because this is the thinnest skin on the body, so it is pretty translucent and […]

Three milia extracted on the face

This lovely woman was the last patient of the day for me. She had three bumps on her face that she wanted removed if possible. Although, she didn’t know about my youtube channel or instagram, she is a “popaholic”, meaning, she loves to pop her own blackheads and whiteheads. Well, she couldn’t remove these areas, […]

Three patients, with their comedones. For medical education

Here are three patients I saw today, all with comedones to extract. In patient 2 I use very sharp serrated scissors. I use this instrument commonly on the eyelid or within the orbital rim of the eye. This is because in this area, there is no bone under the skin to press a comedone extractor […]

Treating age spots / liver spots on the hands. For medical education- NSFE

Many people develop brown spots like this on the hands. These are usually brown colored and often flat (but they can be slightly raised as well). These are commonly called age spots and liver spots, but the medical term is solar or senile lentigos. Personally, I like to call them “wisdom spots” because we get […]

Treating angiomas & DPNs on the chest with electrocautery For medical education- NSFE.

For medical education- NSFE. Angiomas are extremely common vascular “abnormalities”. They are flat speckled red spots, or even can grow quite large and raised and appear more purple in color. They are benign and 100% of us will have at least one of them by the time we turn 18 years old. Small ones can […]

Treating Brown Spots on the Cheeks with a Laser. WARNING strobe-like laser light

This is a patient who has dermatosis papulosa nigra, a condition common in darker completed people. These are similar to seborrheic keratoses, and we like to call them “wisdom spots” because they are not harmful, but many of us just get more of them the “wiser” they get. Here, I use a KTP 532 nm […]

She is getting married soon, and wants her hands to look beautiful, of course! She has two nevus araneus, also called spider angiomas. These are just small broken capillaries, maybe […]
