Be it teens or adults, skin conditions like acne, eczema, and even rosacea are pretty common in Canadians. Dr. Shehla Ebrahim, the skincare physician in Vancouver, often sees patients who come in for eczema or rosacea treatment that has aggravated due to generalized internet-based and self tried solutions without knowledge of skin profile.
Below are some reasons stating why you should seek expert treatment by our skincare physician in Vancouver.
No response to OTC products
Acne, for example, troubles about five million Canadians today, the number seeking early treatment is very low.
Dr. Ebrahim sheds more light on this, saying, “There are many beauty products that can help reduce mild cases of pimples or blackheads. But if you see your skin’s condition worsening despite using branded OTC products or natural home remedies, you should consider consulting a professional. Because in most cases, a severe skin condition is bound to leave permanent marks and scars.”
Misdiagnosis of skin conditions
In some cases, misdiagnosing and mistreating the skin is common. Since most skin conditions have overlapping symptoms, you may easily assume a rosacea patch to be small acne patches. This can lead to severe aggravation of symptoms.
For example, the vitamin A derivative retinoid and benzoyl peroxide, which are commonly included in our acne treatment in Vancouver, can irritate rosacea skin patches.
Damage through overuse of chemical products
When suffering from conditions like these, the skin’s barrier that helps retain its moisture and prevent bacterial invasion is weakened. Hence, exposure to multiple harsh serums, acids, oils, and masks will only degrade it further.
What acne, eczema, or rosacea skin needs is gentle and targeted treatment. Dr. Ebrahim achieves this through a unique customized composition of medicines and lifestyle changes to rejuvenate skin.
She adds saying, “I believe that treating skin is a process that can only be effective if the patient is diligent towards the treatment. I always guide my patients in choosing the right skincare products, such as light cleansers, moisturizers, sunscreens, during the treatment course.”
Co-existence of multiple skin conditions
In rare cases, the co-existence of these conditions can misguide even trained practitioners. But our skincare practitioner can evidently distinguish between them through a thorough diagnosis.
For example, when offering combined eczema and rosacea treatment in Vancouver, Dr. Ebrahim always rules out eczema and rosacea clearly, to give the most suitable and comprehensive treatment that treats multiple skin conditions uniquely.
