I, as a surgeon, usually see a lot of the consequences of that, so I tend not to utilize steroid injections for acne. The reason for that is if you place just a little too much, and we're talking less than 0.1 milliliter difference, you can have a permanent atrophic divot in the skin that is only fixed by surgery.

So I see a lot of young patients that come in who had an acne spot injected here, and now that divot is left and that's permanent. If it's going to be done, it should be done by a dermatologist who knows what they're doing. Low concentrations, usually bottom half of the face can be effective in getting rid of a really bad pimple that needs to be gone immediately. You just got to know the risks.

No, I don't think so. I think tattoos are an awesome form of art and I think it used to be linked to stereotypes that are no longer true. I think the challenge with tattoos is two things, making sure that what is being placed underneath the skin is not an allergen. We see this mostly with the reds that use cinnamates. They produce a lot of granulomatous reactions or foreign body reactions.

One, making sure obviously they're using clean, safe equipment that's sterile. You know, you don't want the bloodborne pathogens. The real challenge is surveying for growths. In patients who have a lot of tattoos, it's hard to see small skin cancers form or changes in moles because usually the tattoos are of dark color. So, the surveillance part becomes a little bit more challenging.

So, if you have a lot of tattoos, just make sure to see your dermatologist and somebody who feels comfortable and confident in screening. But other than that, no. They've been around for hundreds and hundreds of years, and I think they're fine if done correctly.

Melanoma, yeah.

That's a great, great question. So obviously there are many forms of skin cancer, but the three most common, like we talked about, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. There are other types like Merkel cell and et cetera, but they're far less common.
