Scrubbed up and ready to take on the Biologics clinic at the Alfred Hospital via Telehealth with my partner-in-crime, Biologics Nurse extraordinaire, Diana Courtney. In this clinic, we use targeted molecules to treat severe psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, chronic spontaneous urticaria and pemphigus. These medications are given via subcutaneous injections (or rarely, infusions), and are life-changing for patients all around the world. I’m even on one myself! This is one of my favourite parts of dermatology, as we can effectively treat severe diseases that many of our patients have suffered with for most of their lives, and make a huge impact on their quality of life. The Biologics clinic also gives us a chance to interact with our colleagues from other specialties such as Rhematology, Gastroenterology and Immunology, who also use these medications a lot to treat other autoimmune diseases.

Just in case you missed our post over at @bespokeskintechnology, do you know your Fitzpatrick Skin type? . The Fitzpatrick scale is set out according to the amount of melanin pigment your skin has, and your skins reaction to sun exposure. This can help predict your overall risk of sun damage and skin cancer. Knowing your risk level allows you to arm yourself with the tools you need to protect your skin. . Tanning beds and other artificial tanning machines are harmful for everyone, regardless of your skin type. Sunscreen should be applied daily to receive maximum protection. Check your skin from head to toe every month and have an annual check up with your doctor. It is possible that you won’t meet all of the characteristics of one skin type so you should go with the one that best suits you. . Here is what you should know about your skin and how to protect it based on your skin type ⇢ ⇢
