No. Do not peel your sunburn; it will slough off naturally. If you do, you may increase the risk of infection. To decrease the peeling skin, consider using Aloe Vera or a nice moisturizing cream on the affected areas. Kaminska Dermatology Care Team READ MORE

Is it bad to squeeze out sebum?
Sebum is a natural oily substance produced by our sebaceous or oil glands. Squeezing sebum out can make our pores wider. I recommend against doing this. There are ways to decrease sebum production including certain medications, topical creams or washes, and chemical peels. Consult with a board certified dermatologist to go over a customized treatment plan for you. Kaminska Dermatology Care Team READ MORE

What causes an itchy rash on hands?
Itchy hands can have many causes. The most common cause of itchy hands in my clinic is eczema. Eczema is a rash that the body produces that can be itchy and scaly, or bumpy and scaly. It causes a lot of discomfort. I recommend gentle skin care, like using warm water and unscented, hypoallergenic bar soap to wash the hands. Also, hypoallergenic, scent-free hand creams. If this does not help, It is best to be evaluated by a board certified dermatologist for a diagnosis. Kaminska Dermatology Care Team READ MORE
