    always trust a dermatologist whose face is literally glowing
  • @lilabenford7159
    As someone who has a lot of skin, I can confirm this guy knows a lot about skin.
  • @realbartsimpson
    UVB - B stands for bad UVA - A stands for aging That's the easiest way to remember which one is which, thank you!
  • In reply to the question about sweating and moisturizer: I realized that (at least in my case) it was because I was applying after a hot shower, so my body was still trying to eliminate heat. To combat this I started finishing my showers cold, which isn't as bad as you might think because you can slowly lower the temp towards the tail end of the shower, both benefitting your skin and using less energy to make hot water.
  • "I developed skin cancer back when I was 31 years old." You're telling me he looks like that and he's OLDER THAN 31?
  • @blub_blub_
    This guy knows a lot about skin, he should be a dermatologist
  • @yharon8243
    I love how the people on this series explain stuff SO well to you that by the end of the video, you think you understand more than you actually do about the topic. (I mean this in a good way!)
  • @Juss169
    Just came here to say that I've been following you two (Dr.Maxfield, Dr.Shah/ Doctorly ) since the early days, like many others. And it just warms my heart that you do have come such a long way. It shows! you guys are so confident on camera now (not that you were ever underconfident, just reached tv star levels now), you're getting interviewed by big channels, etc. And all the while doing such honest and helpful service to humanity! lots of love.
  • @ShortHax
    If the skin is its own organ doesn’t that mean whenever you get a injury you can count it as organ damage?
  • I'm so glad you talked about hormonal acne! I didn't even know that was a thing! I've been having acne around my chin that just doesn't seem to go away (mostly due to me picking at it tbh) but now at least I understand why it's there in the first place
  • I just wanna thank to the creators of this video for getting straight into the point rather than dragging it. The thumbnail captured my attention, clicked on it, and my question is answered immediately. Thank you!

    22 years old and went in to the dermatologist to check a mole that was growing under my toenail. It showed up when I was like 6 years old and hasn’t changed since then. On a whim I had a doc check it out. They did a biopsy and turns out it’s precancerous and we caught it just in time. Got it removed and everything is good. The anticlimactic stories are the best ones. Get those moles checked!
  • As someone who has very fair skin, I use spf 50 and still turn pink but have tanned with spf 100. Generally I just keep my pale self out of the sun.
  • I will say he has been one of my fav drs to be on here!! I think it’s his charisma cause everyone else is always very knowledgeable like he was.
  • @alenak1841
    I had insane amount of acne in my school years. But as soon as I graduated 95% of it disappeared. Turns out, I was lactose intolerant. It was causing all the embarrassing acne, backne, gas, and bathroom problems. We/ I was just too poor to get medically checked. School food was always cheesy, creamy, or overly salty. School should have had more options
  • @takemehome42
    This was cool. I’d love to see a dentist/dental one.
  • @NUTBIBLE
    This is my favorite of these interviews thus far!
  • @forrest_ation
    He’s fabulous! I love doctors so much knowledge right off the cuff it’s incredible 👏🏽
