Your skin is under attack every day.

No. Hydrogen peroxide is excellent for day one cleaning of contaminated wounds but harmful from day two onward. It cannot differentiate between bacteria and the fibroblasts your body is using to close the wound. Used repeatedly, it slows healing. The correct protocol is: day one peroxide on contaminated wounds, day two onward soap and water plus Neosporin and a bandage.

Yes, for disinfection. The 91% concentration evaporates so fast it cannot achieve full bacterial protein denaturation. The 70% concentration has enough water content to slow evaporation, giving the alcohol time to fully kill bacteria. The CDC and WHO both specify 60 to 70% alcohol as the target concentration for effective disinfection. Counterintuitive but proven.

CeraVe is a daily ceramide based moisturizer ideal for normal to moderately dry skin and for daily eczema maintenance. Eucerin is heavier and more occlusive, designed for severely dry, cracked, or compromised skin where CeraVe is not enough. Many patients use both. CeraVe daily, Eucerin overnight on the worst patches.

No. This is a critical rule most patients don't know. Diphenhydramine absorbed through the skin can add to oral dose levels, causing significant sedation and anticholinergic effects (dry mouth, urinary retention, rapid heartbeat). The risk is particularly high in children, elderly patients, and anyone who has taken oral Benadryl in the past 4 to 6 hours. Use one or the other, not both.

Because you're treating your feet but not your shoes. Dermatophyte fungi live in footwear and reinfect treated skin. The complete antifungal protocol is: terbinafine cream twice daily for 1 to 2 weeks on the skin, antifungal powder daily in the shoes, hot water wash for socks, and continue the cream for one week after symptoms resolve. The Fungal Defense Kit packages all of this together.

No, and this is one of the most common dermatological misconceptions. Dandruff is caused by overgrowth of Malassezia, a yeast like fungus that lives on virtually every adult scalp. The fungus breaks down scalp sebum into oleic acid, which triggers an inflammatory response and accelerated skin cell turnover. Washing your hair more frequently or using moisturizing shampoos does not address the fungal cause. Selenium sulfide (Selsun Blue) directly suppresses Malassezia, which is why it works when regular shampoos don't.

Not without pharmacist guidance. Topical steroids cause skin thinning (atrophy) on thin skinned areas like the face, underarms, and groin much faster than on body skin. For face rashes, start with Benadryl cream or a non steroidal option, and call us before reaching for hydrocortisone. If you need stronger anti inflammatory action on the face, that's typically a prescription conversation.
