Have you ever heard to just put honey or aloe on your rash? I
URGE you to think twice on treating an angry rash at home before
knowing what it is. Sometimes, it can be life threatening as you
will hear from my guest today who had a patient have sepsis!
Not to mention, it could be tiny microscopic bugs, which gives
the shivers just thinking about it.
My guest today is Dr. Peter Lio, a Clinical Assistant Professor
of Dermatology & Pediatrics at Northwestern University Feinberg
School of Medicine.
He received his medical degree from Harvard Medical School,
completed his internship in Pediatrics at Boston Children’s
Hospital, and his Dermatology training at Harvard where he served
as Chief Resident in Dermatology. While at Harvard, he received
formal training in acupuncture.
Dr. Lio has written a textbook on Integrative Dermatology and
has published over 100 papers.
Join us as we discuss all the different types of skin testing
for various conditions, which your doctor could run.
Have you ever had any of skin testing done and it helped
tremendously? Tell me about it in the comments!
In this episode:
- Why you need a dermatologist on your
team to help rule out infections + more serious issues (even if you
want to do things more naturally) - Different testing types and when you do each one (AND for which
condition) - What are scabies and Demodex mites, and why could Ivermectin
help? - How does patch testing work?
- Thoughts on supplementing with B12 if you have a cobalt
allergy - Hidden sneaky source of benzoyl peroxide (if you have this
allergy)
Quotes
“Scabies are these little,
teeny-tiny mites, they’re invisible to the naked eye, but not to
the microscope. So what we do is we’ll scrape the little parts of
the skin or even better is we can scrape under your nails because
if you’re itchy, you’re collecting little scabies mites under your
fingernails.” [08:51]
“The biggest thing I think for
bacterial infection is skin pain or tenderness. If it’s just itchy,
I’m not as worried, but if a patient calls me and says, it hurts,
it’s sore. Then I’m like, whoa, that’s a super four-alarm fire.”
