That mole you’ve been meaning to get checked? Don’t let “later” become your plan. 👀

Maybe it’s a little darker.
Maybe the shape has changed.
Maybe it just looks different from your other spots.

It’s easy to notice something, get busy, and forget about it.

But here’s what you should know.

Melanoma doesn’t follow one predictable timeline.

Some types grow slowly.
Others can develop and spread quickly.
And not every suspicious spot looks dramatic.

🚩 Here’s what to watch for:

• A new or changing mole
• Irregular borders or uneven color
• Bleeding, crusting, or persistent itching
• A spot that looks different from your other moles
• A growth that just doesn’t seem right

And remember, melanoma isn’t limited to sun-exposed skin.

Check your scalp, back, soles of your feet, and nails, too.

Get familiar with your skin.
Pay attention to changes.
Take photos when helpful.

But don’t rely on watching and waiting.

A board-certified dermatologist can evaluate suspicious spots and determine whether further testing is needed.

Early melanoma detection can make a life-saving difference.

That spot you’ve been keeping an eye on?
It’s time to let a professional take a look.

📅 Don’t wait for another change. Book your skin check TODAY!

Some of the most valuable skincare advice never comes in a bottle. ✨

It comes from experience.

A trained eye.

A thoughtful conversation.

And someone who understands that beautiful skin is never one-size-fits-all.

Today, in honor of National Aesthetician Day, we’re celebrating someone who brings all of that and more to Lancer Dermatology.

Our wonderful Medical Aesthetician, Natalie Reed! 🤍

With decades of experience in professional skincare, Natalie brings an incredible depth of knowledge, precision, and genuine care to every treatment.

But what makes a truly exceptional aesthetician?

It’s more than knowing which products to recommend.

Or which facial treatment to perform.

It’s understanding the person behind the skin.

Listening to their concerns.

Recognizing the little details others might overlook.

Knowing when to treat.

And just as importantly, knowing when less is more.

Natalie’s calm, meticulous approach reflects a simple philosophy:

Great skincare should always feel personal.

At Lancer Dermatology in Beverly Hills, aesthetic care is an important part of our commitment to comprehensive skin health.

Working alongside our dermatology team, Natalie helps connect professional treatments with personalized skincare education and guidance.

Because the benefits of a thoughtful facial don’t have to end when you leave the treatment room.

The knowledge you gain matters, too.

Understanding your skin.

Making informed skincare choices.

Building a routine that works for your individual needs.

And feeling more confident in how you care for yourself.

That’s the lasting value of experience.

And it’s something no skincare bottle can replace.

Natalie, thank you for the expertise, dedication, patience, and thoughtful attention you bring to our patients every day.

Your work is an important part of what makes the Lancer Dermatology experience so special.

We’re grateful to have you on our team!

Happy National Aesthetician Day! 🤍

Help us celebrate Natalie by leaving her a little love in the comments. Let’s make sure she knows just how appreciated she is!

That “acne scar” might not be a scar at all.

The breakout clears.
You expect your skin to move on.
But a mark remains.
So you try another serum.
Then another.

Before you add anything else, know this:
Acne can leave different kinds of traces.
The right care starts with understanding yours.

Pink or red marks?
They may be lingering post-acne redness.

Brown, gray, or darker spots?
They may be post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
That’s a change in pigment.

An indentation or raised area?
That may be an acne scar.
Scarring changes the skin’s texture.

You can have more than one concern at once.
And color alone doesn’t tell the whole story.

Redness, dark spots, and acne scars
can call for different treatment approaches.

Here’s where to start:
Use broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily.
Reapply every two hours when outdoors.
Resist picking or squeezing breakouts.
Choose gentle skincare over aggressive scrubbing.
Ask about acne treatment if breakouts are ongoing.

Some post-acne marks fade with time.
Scars usually don’t disappear on their own.
Your skin tone, scar type, and active acne matter.

We begin with a thoughtful skin evaluation.
Then build a plan around what your skin needs.

Save this for your next skincare reset.
Share it with someone navigating life after acne.

You don’t have to keep guessing.

Your skin was never meant to be judged at 10× zoom.
And yet…
One close-up photo can make totally normal skin suddenly feel like a problem.
A pore looks bigger.
A fine line looks deeper.
A little texture feels impossible to ignore.
And before you know it, you’re analyzing every inch of your face.
Here’s the reminder your camera roll probably won’t give you:
Real skin has texture.
Real skin has pores.
Real skin has fine lines, follicles, tiny bumps, spots and natural variation.
Seeing them doesn’t automatically mean something is wrong.
And “perfectly smooth” skin isn’t the standard your skin has to meet.
Sometimes the most helpful thing you can do is step away from the zoom.
Look at your skin the way other people actually see it.
From a normal distance.
In normal light.
As part of your whole face — not one magnified square inch.
But there’s an important distinction.
Normalizing skin texture does not mean ignoring a change.
If you notice a spot, bump, rash or lesion that is new, changing, bleeding, painful or simply concerning to you, have it evaluated.
That’s where medical dermatology matters.
A board-certified dermatologist can examine your skin in context and help determine what’s normal, what may need monitoring and what deserves treatment.
A few helpful habits:
Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen every day.
Avoid picking or aggressively scrubbing at texture.
Give skincare time to work.
Pay attention to meaningful changes instead of chasing poreless skin.
And schedule routine skin checks based on your dermatologist’s recommendations and your individual risk factors.
Your phone can magnify your skin.
It can’t diagnose it.
If something about your skin has been bothering you — or you’re overdue for a professional skin exam — don’t keep guessing.
Book an appointment with our dermatology team and let an expert take a closer look.

If your melasma keeps coming back, there’s a reason.
And it probably isn’t because you “did skincare wrong.”
Melasma can be frustrating.
It fades.
It flares.
It improves.
Then somehow… it shows up again.
That’s because melasma isn’t just a simple dark spot.
Sun exposure can play a role.
So can visible light.
Hormonal changes may influence it.
Genetics can matter too.
And irritated skin can make pigmentation look even more noticeable.
So what can you actually do?
Start with the basics.
Wear broad-spectrum SPF every day.
For melasma, a tinted sunscreen with iron oxide can be especially helpful because it adds protection from visible light.
Reapply when you’re spending time outdoors.
Use shade, hats, and sunglasses when you can.
And pay attention to how your skincare feels.
Burning and stinging are not signs that a product is “working harder.”
If your routine constantly leaves your skin irritated, it may be time to simplify.
Gentle, consistent skincare usually beats an aggressive routine you can’t tolerate.
And if you’ve been buying brightening product after brightening product without seeing the change you hoped for?
That’s where medical dermatology matters.
A dermatologist can look at the pigmentation itself.
Consider possible triggers.
Review what you’re already using.
And help determine whether prescription skincare, professional treatment, or a different daily routine makes sense for your skin.
Because treating melasma isn’t about throwing everything at it.
It’s about having a plan.
If stubborn facial pigmentation keeps returning, stop guessing.
Book a dermatology appointment and let’s build a treatment plan around your skin, your history, and your goals.

If your “dry skin” keeps coming back, it may be trying to tell you something.
October is Eczema Awareness Month.
And eczema is so much more than a little dryness.
It can itch.
Burn.
Feel tight.
Flare without warning.
Settle down.
Then come right back again.
For millions of people, that cycle becomes part of everyday life.
But persistent irritation should not automatically become your “normal.”
Eczema, including atopic dermatitis, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition.
And it doesn’t always look the way you might expect.
On some skin tones, eczema may look pink or red.
On others, it can appear brown, purple, gray, or darker than the surrounding skin.
That’s one reason seeing a dermatologist matters.
Medical dermatology looks beyond what’s visible.
We look at your symptoms.
Your flare patterns.
Your skin barrier.
Your possible triggers.
And how your skin is affecting your day-to-day life.
If you’re dealing with recurring itchy, dry, irritated skin, start with the basics.
Use a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser.
Moisturize consistently.
Avoid very hot showers.
Pay attention to products or environments that seem to trigger a flare.
And resist the urge to keep switching products every time your skin reacts.
Sometimes barrier care helps.
Sometimes moisturizer simply isn’t enough.
That’s when an individualized eczema treatment plan can make a real difference.
And one more thing worth saying:
Eczema is not contagious.
It is not “bad skin.”
And it is nothing to be embarrassed about.
You deserve answers.
You deserve a plan.
And you deserve skin care that takes your symptoms seriously.
If itching, irritation, or recurring rashes keep coming back, make an appointment with a dermatologist.
Don’t spend another season guessing what your skin needs.

Your rash finally shows up.

Then disappears the day before your dermatology appointment.

Sound familiar?

Skin has terrible timing.

Rashes can flare.

Fade.

Spread.

Change color.

Move to a new area.

Or look completely different by the time you’re sitting in the exam room.

That doesn’t mean the flare didn’t matter.

It means your dermatologist may need a little help seeing the full story.

One of the simplest things you can do?

Take photos while it’s happening.

Not just one super-zoomed-in picture.

Try the 3-photo rule:

📍 WHERE
Take a wider photo that shows where the rash is located on your body.

🔎 AROUND IT
Include some surrounding normal skin so there’s context and comparison.

📸 DETAIL
Take a clear close-up in natural light.

Skip filters.

Skip beauty mode.

And try to keep the image sharp and true to what you’re actually seeing.

Then make a quick note.

When did it start?

Does it itch, burn, hurt, or feel tender?

Has it spread or changed?

Did you start a new skincare product, medication, detergent, or topical treatment?

Did anything make it better—or worse?

Those details can give your dermatology provider a much clearer picture of what happened between flare and appointment.

Medical dermatology is often about patterns.

What your skin looks like.

Where it appears.

How it changes.

And what happened around the time it started.

So the next time your skin acts up, don’t rely on memory alone.

Document it.

Then bring the story with you.

If you’re dealing with a persistent, recurring, painful, spreading, or unexplained rash, don’t keep guessing.

Book an appointment with Dr. Lancer so we can evaluate what’s going on and help you find the right next step.

Your skin is not asking for a perfect diet.
And no, one “skin superfood” is probably not going to fix everything.
That may be less exciting than the advice you see online.
But it’s a lot more useful.
Because healthy skin is influenced by the whole picture.
Nutrition.
Sun exposure.
Your skin barrier.
Hormones.
Genetics.
Medications.
Your skincare routine.
And sometimes an actual medical skin condition.
So what does food really have to do with your skin?
More than nothing.
But less than social media sometimes makes it sound.
Drinking enough water supports normal hydration.
But if your skin stays dry, your skin barrier may need more attention than your water bottle.
Diet may influence acne for some people.
But persistent acne can also involve oil production, clogged pores, inflammation, hormones, genetics, and medications.
Collagen?
Your body absolutely needs the nutrients involved in building and maintaining healthy tissue.
But collagen powder cannot selectively tell your body to rebuild the collagen in your face.
And when it comes to visible skin aging, one everyday habit deserves a lot more attention:
Daily sunscreen.
A few skin-health basics worth keeping simple:
Eat a varied, nutrient-rich diet.
Stay adequately hydrated.
Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen every day.
Use skincare that supports your skin instead of constantly irritating it.
And pay attention when something changes or refuses to improve.
Because food can support healthy skin.
It does not replace medical dermatology.
If you are dealing with persistent acne, dryness, irritation, pigmentation, hair loss, a changing spot, or another skin concern, you do not have to keep guessing.
A dermatologist can help you figure out what is actually happening with your skin and build a treatment plan that makes sense for you.

Your manicure might be covering something worth noticing. 👀

Most of us look at our nails and think:

Polish color.
Length.
Shape.
Maybe a broken nail.

A dermatologist sees something else.

Your nails are part of your skin exam, too.

And sometimes, a change in a nail deserves a closer look.

That does not mean every unusual nail is something serious.

And a dark streak does not automatically mean melanoma.

But here’s the important part:

A new or changing dark streak in a fingernail or toenail is something you shouldn’t simply keep covering with polish.

Pay attention to the skin around the nail, too.

Look for changes such as:

A brown or black band that is new or evolving.

Pigment extending onto the surrounding skin.

A nail beginning to lift.

A nail that starts splitting.

A new bump beneath the nail.

The goal is not to diagnose yourself from a photo online.

It’s to know what your normal looks like.

Then notice when something changes.

Because melanoma and other forms of skin cancer don’t always appear as the suspicious mole we’ve been taught to look for.

Melanoma can develop beneath or around a nail.

And skin cancer can occur in places that receive very little sun.

So before your next manicure, take 30 seconds.

Remove the polish.

Look at each fingernail and toenail.

Notice the color.

Look at the nail plate and the surrounding skin.

And if something is new, changing, persistent, or simply doesn’t look right to you, don’t keep covering it and hoping it disappears.

Let a dermatologist look at it.

Medical dermatology isn’t only about acne, rashes and moles.

Your scalp, nails, palms, soles and the spaces you rarely think about are skin, too.

If you’ve noticed a nail change—or you’re overdue for a professional skin cancer screening—this is your reminder to get it checked.

Don’t wait until a small question becomes a bigger one.

Your skin is doing a lot more than looking good.
And that changes the way we should care for it.
It’s easy to think of skincare as cosmetic.
A little glow.
A smoother texture.
Fewer breakouts.
Less redness.
But your skin is also your body’s largest organ.
It helps protect you from the outside world.
It helps hold on to moisture.
It helps regulate temperature.
And it’s constantly repairing itself.
That’s why good skin care shouldn’t be about chasing “perfect” skin.
It should be about supporting healthy skin.
A few things that matter more than the latest trend:
Use a gentle cleanser that doesn’t leave your skin feeling stripped.
Moisturize based on what your skin actually needs.
Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen every day.
Be thoughtful with active ingredients.
More products do not automatically mean better results.
And pay attention when something changes.
A rash that keeps coming back.
Acne that is painful or leaving scars.
Redness or irritation that never really settles down.
A spot that is new, changing, bleeding, or not healing.
Those are moments when your skincare shelf may not have the answer.
That’s where medical dermatology matters.
A dermatologist can help identify what’s actually happening with your skin and create a treatment plan based on the cause—not just the symptom.
Because healthy skin isn’t about looking flawless.
It’s about protecting it, understanding it, and knowing when it needs more than another product.
If something about your skin has been bothering you, changing, or simply isn’t improving, don’t keep guessing.
