This season is the perfect time to refresh your skin and reveal a brighter, smoother complexion with a chemical peel.

Did you know? Atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema, is one of the most common skin conditions affecting patients of all ages. 

Heather McFadden, PA at our Frisco, Aubrey, and Melissa locations, explains it best: eczema is caused by an overexcited immune system in the skin. This triggers inflammation, ramps up the itch signal, and creates a cycle of scratching that makes the condition worse. That’s why it’s often called “the itch that rashes.”

Did you know your skin could be trying to tell you something? This month, Dr. Farberg is helping us understand eczema and atopic dermatitis triggers:

🌬 Weather: Cold, dry air can trigger flare-ups—but everyone’s eczema is unique.

🌿 Allergens: From environmental allergens to certain products, patch testing can help identify what to avoid.

💆 Stress: Your immune system and skin health are closely connected—stress can make eczema worse.

At Bare Dermatology, home of the Eczema Institute of North Texas, we’re proud to be the go-to destination for eczema care, offering expert guidance, innovative treatments, and tailored plans for every patient.

Dry Skin or Seborrheic Dermatitis? Let’s Break It Down with Dr. Sroa!

If you’re noticing dry, flaky, or itchy skin this winter, it might not actually be dry skin—it could be seborrheic dermatitis, also known as dandruff, seborrheic eczema, or seborrheic psoriasis. This condition is caused by a yeast called Malassezia furfur, which thrives in oily areas of the skin.

Winter is here, and so are the challenges it brings for your skin. Keep your glow intact with these winter skincare tips.
