Can Cyperus rotundus oil slow down hair growth? 🌿

Believe it or not, this Ayurvedic ingredient might be your new hair reduction solution! Some studies suggest that Cyperus rotundus (aka nutgrass) can interfere with hair follicle activity, potentially reducing unwanted hair growth over time. While it’s not a magic solution, regular use may lead to softer, finer hair. If you’re looking for a more natural approach to hair control, this oil could be worth exploring. ✨

As always, check in with your derm before adding anything new to your routine!

This lesion is a perfect example of two important points to remember during a full body skin exam.

1. look at *all lesions* that are pigmented or pink with dermoscopy (see old posts at what I define as all lesions)
2. Your dermatoscope should always be in the polarized mode at baseline. If you do not have a polarized dermatoscope, it’s time to trade it in for a new one.

Some structures are only identifiable with polarized dermoscopy. When differentiating a lesion as melanoma vs seborrheic keratosis, utilizing the “blink sign” will guide your decision making. With polarized dermoscopy (PD), structures such as shiny white lines/crystalline structures become prevalent, and “blink” when toggling between PD and non-polarized dermoscopy (NPD). These structures will be identified in melanoma, and absent in a seborrheic keratosis.

And for completeness, in NPD, structures more common in seborrheic keratoses such as milia-like cysts and comedo openings are prevalent “blink”, and become less conspicuous in polarized dermoscopy.

This lesions reveals the following dermoscopic findings:

PD

Blue magnified circle & arrows-shiny white lines (many orthogonally arranged)-positive blink sign for melanoma. Numerous shiny white lines throughout the lesion

Red magnified area-dotted and linear vessels

Black arrow- off-center asymmetric hyperpigmented blotch

NPD
No shiny white structure or accentuation of milia-like cysts

Pathology revealed nevoid melanoma with a breslow depth of 5 mm.

"Acne can be a struggle to deal with. Hormonal acne or adult female acne is another beast & definitely hard to deal with, especially when not taking any oral medications.⁠
⁠
Some products you can try are: ⁠
✅️ Benzoyl peroxide washes 4%, azelaic acid (either OTC or prescription strength)⁠
✅️ Centella/Cica products to calm skin⁠
✅️ Topical retinoids, etc. ⁠
✅️ Blue light LED mask can help. ⁠
✅️ For those seeking natural remedies, spearmint tea twice a day can help."⁠ — ⁠@drheejink
