Dr. Teo Soleymani

Drew, thanks for having me. I don't know if I feel that I'm worthy of those words, but I appreciate it. I love what I do, and I've dedicated my career to that. So thank you for having me. It's going to be a lot of fun, a lot of things to talk about. I know skin's always hot, and that's why I chose that as a career, but thank you.

Oh, this is, if you couldn't hit a bigger category than the sun. So. I love the sun. I'm a skin cancer surgeon. I'm a dermatologist. I see a lot of patients with sun-related conditions. It's essentially more than 80% of my practice. Do I think we need to be afraid of the sun? Absolutely not.

And my colleagues on the East Coast will probably want to kill me for saying this stuff, but I'm just not one to want to dress like a beekeeper and go outside. Now, just like with anything in life, too much of a good thing can be a bad thing. You know, if you are outside and you are getting sunburns constantly, that's your body's way of telling you, hey, you're killing something.

You're killing the top layer of your skin. That's what a blistering sunburn is. But we know for many different reasons that the sun actually provides a lot of benefits, both physically and mentally, and sometimes improvements in well-being that I can't quantify in a lab test. I can't necessarily measure the improvement in your health, but the sun provides it.

I myself did two fellowships on the East Coast, and I knew in the gray, I didn't feel good. I wasn't happy. It would affect my quality of life. And that's not something my primary care doc, for example, could measure. But as soon as the sun came out, my feelings changed. And as a dermatologist, there is a component of the sun that you can get every single day that's safe.

The problem with getting a blanket statement is that every person's body is different. Your skin type is very different than my skin type is very different than my patient's skin type. So what I can tolerate in the sun is not the same as perhaps somebody else. And figuring that out is the key for personalized medicine, right?

For example, if you are somebody who's had a strong family history of skin cancer or you have certain conditions in which you cannot tolerate the sun, let's say you have melasma, which is a condition we see in pregnancy in women a lot, or if you have lupus, some of these sun-sensitive conditions, then maybe you can only tolerate five minutes of sunlight before your skin tells you something.
