    GROOM YOUR MAN! When it comes to grooming, women have it down to a science. But what about the man in your life? Kyan Douglas, the grooming guru for "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," stopped by The Early Show on Wednesday, April 8, 2009, to discuss how to have THE conversation with your man about grooming issues. He then addressed the key grooming tools every man should have!: DO YOU THINK MOST MEN ARE EVEN CONCERNED OR REALIZE THEY NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THESE GROOMING ISSUES? With women, they have a sense of their appearance, some guys are all over it....very metro men are all about products.....but we're in the middle of a transition of what is appropriate for men and they're grooming habits ...men do care, but it's still a mixed bag of how far they take it with products and grooming.

  • Skin of Color
    Dermatology Patient Education Skin of Color There are a variety of skin, hair and nail conditions that are common in people with skin of color such as African Americans, Asians, Latinos and Native Americans. Your dermatologist can help diagnose and treat these skin conditions. SKIN CONDITIONS Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) This condition results in patches of darker skin as your skin heals after a cut or scrape, or when acne, eczema or other rashes clear. PIH often fades, but the darker the PIH, the longer fading can take. Your dermatologist can help restore your skin’s color more quickly. Prescription medicines containing retinoids or hydroquinone (a bleaching ingredient), and procedures such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion may help. Your dermatologist will also encourage you to wear sunscreen to avoid further darkening of the skin due to ultraviolet (UV) light exposure and prevent further PIH from developing. Treatment products available over-the-counter rarely help and can make PIH more noticeable. Melasma This common condition causes brown to gray-brown patches, usually on the face. It occurs most often in women who have Latina, African, or Asian ancestry. Men can get melasma, too. Melasma can also appear on other parts of the body that get lots of sun exposure, such as the forearms and neck. Melasma may be associated with pregnancy, birth control pills or estrogen replacement therapy. It may also be hereditary. Melasma can fade on its own, but it often recurs. Your dermatologist can provide prescription topical treatment to help the condition fade. Procedures including chemical peels and microdermabrasion can also help.
