Blue light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that targets acne-causing bacteria and can help calm inflammation. Treatments are painless, typically take 15–30 minutes, and require little downtime.

It’s not a one-size-fits-all solution, though. Blue light works best for certain types of acne and may be combined with other treatments for better results.

Thinking about trying it? Start with a consultation to find out if blue light therapy is right for your skin.

Men have skin concerns, too—and there’s no reason to be embarrassed about getting them checked.

From razor burn and adult acne to eczema, athlete’s foot, dark circles, and changes in moles, dermatologists treat a wide range of concerns affecting men’s skin.

Some issues can be managed with simple changes at home, while others may need professional treatment. If something is persistent, painful, changing, or affecting your daily life, it’s worth having a dermatologist take a look.

Healthy skin isn’t about gender. It’s about taking care of the skin you’re in.

Changes in skin tone can happen for many reasons. Dark spots may be caused by sun exposure, melasma, acne, or inflammation. Lighter areas can occur with conditions such as vitiligo or after an injury or procedure.

The good news? Many causes of hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation can be treated or managed with the right care.

If you’re noticing new or changing dark or light spots, a dermatologist can help determine what’s causing them and what treatment may be appropriate.

Back acne can be frustrating, especially when breakouts seem to keep coming back. The good news? A few simple changes to your routine can make a difference.

6 things to try at home:
• Use a benzoyl peroxide body wash
• Keep skincare simple and choose non-comedogenic products
• Avoid harsh scrubs and heavy creams
• Shower after sweating or working out
• Wear clean, breathable clothing
• Protect your back and shoulders with SPF 30+

If your back acne is persistent, painful, or leaving dark spots or scars, it may be time to see a dermatologist. A personalized treatment plan can help address the cause—not just the breakouts.

Skin of color can experience certain skin conditions differently—and getting the right diagnosis matters.

Acne and eczema may leave behind dark or light spots. Melasma can be more common and may worsen with sun exposure. Keloids are also more prevalent in darker skin tones.

At Buckhead Dermatology, Dr. Sherrie-Ann Straughn has more than 25 years of dermatology experience and specializes in caring for skin of color.

If you’re concerned about a change in your skin, don’t guess. Get it evaluated.

Should You Try Facial Steaming?

Facial steaming can feel like a little at-home spa treatment, and it may offer some benefits for your skin, including helping loosen buildup in your pores, supporting circulation, and making skincare products easier to apply.

But steam isn’t right for everyone. Too much heat can irritate sensitive skin and may trigger conditions like rosacea.

Before adding facial steaming to your routine, it’s worth knowing what your skin actually needs. If you’re in the Atlanta area, Dr. Straughn at Buckhead Dermatology can help you choose skincare and treatments that are right for your skin.

Do You Really Know Your Skin Type?

Oily, dry, combination, sensitive, or normal? Knowing your skin type can make a big difference in choosing the right products and avoiding routines that may actually irritate your skin.

If your skincare routine isn’t giving you the results you expected, it may be time to take a closer look at what your skin really needs.
