Hi, my name is Weilan Johnson and I’m a board-certified dermatologist for U.S. Dermatology Partners. Today I’m going to talk about skin discoloration and what are the common causes of skin discoloration as well as common treatments for skin discoloration.
One of the most common types of skin discoloration is a condition called melasma. Melasma is a condition typically that affects the face, but it can also affect the neck and the arms. It’s a darker discoloration of the skin in areas of the skin that tend to get exposed to sunlight. For example, the central forehead or the apples of the cheeks. This type of discoloration can also be caused by hormonal changes so about 90% of people that have melasma are actually women. Sometimes puberty can bring it on, pregnancy and menopause are also common causes of melasma. Thankfully, melasma can be treated by multiple different topical creams. These are all prescribed by board-certified dermatologists.
There are a few different ingredients in the treatments that we can prescribe, and we often will compound these medications together so you can get one or two or three different medications for melasma in one cream. One of our first active ingredients for treating melasma is a medicine called Hydroquinone. Hydroquinone is a great treatment for lightening up skin discoloration. We usually pair it with another medication class called retinoids and furthermore, we usually put a very mild topical steroid in there. The reason for that is because Hydroquinone and retinoids can be very slightly irritating to the skin, so the topical steroids help to improve tolerance and compliance with the two other topicals and other active ingredients.
Finally, there are other acids that sometimes we’ll prescribe. One is called azoleic acid, another one is called kojic acid and oftentimes these are prescribed in combination with one of the other ingredients that we discussed to treat skin discoloration. Also, we recommend adhering to very strict sun protective measures such as wearing a UPF hat, a wide-brim sun hat as well as sunscreen, and making sure to reapply frequently because UV light is a very common cause of melasma and this type of skin discoloration.
If you feel you’re having a concern with skin discoloration you can visit our website at USDermatologyPartners.com to find a location nearest you.

We hear a lot about treatments for skin problems like an acne flare-up, a worrisome mole, or eczema. But there are also quite a few rare, severe skin conditions that can have a major impact on quality of life, whether because they are painful or make you self-conscious about your appearance. Also, skin disorders can affect other parts of the body as well. For instance, erythrokeratodermia-cardiomyopathy (EKC) syndrome is a condition that causes plaques to form on the skin and also heart abnormalities. And people with genetic skin diseases are much more likely to experience depression. “Most disorders have a genetic basis, and in skin diseases, it’s incredibly easy to see them,” says dermatologist Keith Choate, MD, PhD. The unique thing about skin diseases, he says, is that the entire skin is made up of the same cells, performing different roles depending on the location on the body. “When we find a mutation in a new gene, the first thing that we do is ask, ‘What is the normal function of this gene within the skin?”’ Dr. Choate uses genetics to diagnose and treat rare skin diseases. At Yale, over a dozen new genetic skin diseases have been defined, and in some cases, Dr. Choate’s group has been able to develop treatments for them. ac

Harlequin Ichthyosis is a rare genetic disorder that causes thick and scaly skin that is prone to cracking and constant infections. In the past, babies born with this condition rarely live beyond the first few days. Today, sufferers are able to lead normal and productive lives – but not without obstacles.

From 2-hour long oil baths and constant moisturising, to stares and judgement from strangers, their struggles are physical, social and emotional.

Enter the lives of four individuals coping with Harlequin Ichthyosis in Singapore, Hong Kong and Vietnam. Three-year-old Zoe may have lost all her hands due to the condition, but she’s not lost her joy for life. Despite being visibly different, 13-year-old Aliya navigates the teenage years with grace. Two-year-old Ngoc Bich is an orphan in Vietnam, waiting for a family to adopt her. And 26-year-old Mui Thomas’ achievements are proof that a fulfilling life is possible even with a lifelong condition.

Melanocytes are one of the cells of the epidermis. They produce the brown-black pigment called melanin which contributes to skin colour.
Albinism, hyperpigmentation, and hypopigmentation are some of the disorders of skin pigmentation. Vitiligo is a skin disorder caused by hypopigmentation of the epidermis due to the loss of melanin.

Overview of Fungal Skin Infections including Tinea Pedis (Athlete’s Foot), Tinea Corporis (Ringworm), Tinea Cruris (Jock Itch), Tinea Capitis and Tinea Unguium.

Lesson on Tinea (Fungal) Skin Infections. Tinea infections are fungal infections of the skin caused by fungi of the genus trichophyton and epidermophyton. Tinea infections can occur anywhere on any epidermal surface, and each infection is named according to its location. For instance, ringworm can occur on various parts of the body including the face, neck, trunk, arms and legs, but other infections like fungal infection on the feet, is named as “Athlete’s foot”. Another example is tinea capitis, which is a fungal infection of the scalp of the head that can cause hair loss. The clinical presentation of tinea infections is related to the pathphysiology of the fungal species, which involves the fungi metabolizing and digesting a particular protein in our skin, hair and nails. Each tinea infection has particular clinical presentation, and we discuss each of these in detail.

This is a job for the persons doctor or dermatologist. If a client is showing signs of a disease it is important you not do the service and refer them out.
