The part about seeing a spot on someone’s skin and diagnosing them with some rare condition… So true! I was seeing a dermatologist about rosacea, and asked him about some spots/bumps on my thumbs and fingers. A few questions later, he was referring me to internal medicine with concerns about endocarditis (because of oslers nodes) and a connective tissue disorder. Fortunately, the echo was clear, but he was bang on and it turns out I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome with a rare genetic mutation on my type three collagen.

@@c.a.1506random I was just reading yesterday about connective tissue disorder and that a percentage of people with it get chilblains/Pernio There are like 13 different types I think. Iirc.

I mean, you wouldn't be alive all that long without skin either. When he said in the video that people care about the heart because they'd be dead without it, I thought, well, same goes for skin, right? I mean, the skin is, as he said, the largest organ and only damaging it a little bit here or there isn't necessarily going to kill you. You can lose some skin and still live, sure. But if you were to lose ALL of your skin? You wouldn't stay alive all that long.
Hey, there is precedence on this one. Nurse at a hockey game, sees something on the back of the neck of the opposing team's coach, she goes all the way down to the wall between the fans and the stands and writes out on her phone screen that the thing on his neck should get looked at ASAP, then presses the screen against the glass wall so he can read it. The next day, he does get it checked and it was malignant tumor, and then the team twitter account asks Twitter to identify her. She wakes up from a sleep after an long shift, turns on her phone and it is blowing up as everyone she knows has been trying to get ahold of her. Both her team and the opposing team gave her free season tickets and money to pay for her continuing education in the medical field. The Doctor’s Portrayal of Dermatologists might be spot on...
I helped a guy live… He was talking and his voice had a unique sound to it. I suggested gently that he needs to see an ENT asap and have them test him. It turned out, I was right. He had Laryngeal Cancer. He had to have his voice box removed, but he survived. He was a smoker… don’t know if he quit afterwards. I didn’t say to him he had cancer, but I knew it. I hoped the ENT specialist would figure it out and tell him. It wasn’t my place to diagnose him.
@marlenegold280 Similar thing happened to Ben Brainard. He was just posting his normal videos and people started commenting that his neck looked different and he should get it checked out. Turns out it was thyroid cancer!
I saw a Dermatologist for a Lipoma removal. When I read my chart note a week later, I saw about 17 diagnoses. Every single scrape, bruise, boil, pustule, mole, wart, freckle, or I don't know what I've had since birth was noted, coded, and described in great detail. She looked at me for 60 seconds. People often underestimate how much studying Derms do during/after clinic. In terms of text, it nearly rivals medical school. They've memorized an insane amount of conditions, and are the masters at differentiating the benign lesion vs. the silent disease lurking beneath. Oh being beautiful helps.
On my ED rotation, we had a guy come in for a rash. In looking through his history, he came to the ED a few days prior for it, was diagnosed with "Rash" and referred to dermatology, who saw him in their office earlier on the day I saw him and diagnosed him with "Rash" and sent him back to the ED for further evaluation. We ended up diagnosing him with "Rash" and discharged him with a referral to dermatology. 🤷♂️
A skin infection almost killed me in 2020. I went septic, ended up in a coma and on a ventilator. It damaged my heart and kidneys and I ended up on dialysis and needing heart surgery. Thankfully, I survived and was able to get off dialysis after a year! Don’t underestimate the importance of your skin!! Sending much love to the dermatologists out there!!
Same. My dermatologist has been one of the few people to show me kindness regarding my eczema and has worked to get me the treatments I need for most of my life, since I have many allergies and very fluctuating severity. Insurance has also been horrible to deal with and not many treatments are available in my area.
My current dermatologist is the nicest doctor I've been to. He took extra time to explain what a keloid was, how I might have gotten it, and how to recognize a melanoma. On a Saturday!
I once had to go to the dermatology department to get a mole checked out. It was, no joke, like I stepped into a TV set. Beautiful people everywhere. I was shocked!

As a dermatology resident, I feel personally attacked by how accurate this was 😅 but thank you for making a video about derm! It was good lol! My ENT friend said he would love content about that too lol.
The skin is a very important fleshbag. It's an organ that has to weather daily wear and tear. It serves as the first line of defense against pathogens, harmful substances, and radiation. The mostly hairless, sweating, human skin was the secret to human persistence hunting, setting us apart from most animals. Glory to the skin!
are you a derm resident in the U.S ?! would love some advice on how you got in! I am a current med student just struggling to find mentors/ advice in this field anything helps!!
If I was a doctor I would want to be a derm Not only does it seem more even-paced, but you see people every day who have a concern they are very likely embarrassed by or keep hidden from people. At least, the times I have been to a derm were like that But to them it's all just part of their job. We trust derms to see the thing we try to hide from the world, and help us heal it
Some derm findings can highlight the presence of other systemic diseases. Plaque psoriasis and lupus anyone? Plus, early diagnosis of skin cancers can literally save your life. Sure, they do deal with a higher percentage of cosmetic procedures, but there's a whole lot of other skin maladies that can limit a person's quality of life. Even if it's something as "simple" as a cyst or lipoma, a fungal infection, eczema, hyperhydrosis, or acne. I've had a few crappy derms in terms of bedside manner and possible treatments (when my vitiligo was dx I was given a tiny tube of spf 50 sunscreen and a small pamphlet of sun protective clothing) but diagnosing my skin conditions has helped bring to light more serious autoimmune diseases.
Sir, I feel you, even though I am like 25+ years telemetry DOU night nurse I still one of my favorite sayings is did you know that your skin is your largest organ in your body? You have to be very very careful with your skin and it’s important even things like breathing and cellular respiration, which makes your acid base balance of put you in a deadly you know the thing, blah blah blah, ha ha ha everything is related the whole world every tiny little speck of dust is related to something else and we all got to learn to work together symbiotically love you sir. Love you.
Those of us who've had appalling acne (bad enough that yeah, we did actually stick to everything) but were helped by a dermatologist definitely appreciate them; it is due to my dermo that I eventually stopped looking like a walking chunk of mincemeat.
My daughter with eczema was sticking to everything for months as a baby. I had been scared away from hydrocortisone by people I knew but finally did it out of desperation and it was THE solution. Prior to that we had to wrap the baby's arms and sometimes legs in gauze every day because her skin was covered with open weeping sores.
I've had bad dandruff for all of my life and my PCP was like okay you should go talk to a dermatologist and they can tell you what might be causing it, so i went and the doctor took one second and said "oh idk. we don't know what causes dandruff. have you tried rotating your shampoos?" 😑
I appreciate dermatology very much. I come from a family with dysplastic nevus syndrome. For those not aware, that's the skin condition that makes you WAY more likely to develop melanoma.
@@58.sekarnaraandhitahermawa92 we wouldn’t live long enough to even get cancer because we would die of any number of pathogens out there before we could develop cancer.
@@carlyar5281This is true. I had a patient with head-to-toe Sezary Syndrome, who had almost no intact skin. She couldn’t even feed herself. She leaked fluids and blood from her body 24/7 and finally died of overwhelming infection😢
This is sooo true. I told my GP about how itchy my ears were, and he prescribed antibacterial, steroids, anything you can think of. Had no idea what it was. Finally he listened when we told him again "Psoriasis runs in our family." He sent us to a dermatologist and I kid you not, I sat down, dude looked in my ears and said "Yep, that's psoriasis." Prescribed steroids and sent us on our way. LIKE LITERALLY A LESS THEN 10 MINUTE APPOINTMENT 😂😂 My mom and I laughed our asses off but this video is definitely true. Derms are skin encyclopedias!
All the respect for dermatology, caring for the largest organ, people (me) convinced every last spot is melanoma (I know you said it's just a hive, but talk me down from mycosis fungoides, I've been on Google today), dealing with little kids using retinol because that's now a thing, diagnosing lupus and weird gastric diseases left and right and seeing all the credit go to Rheumatology and Gastro.
I do not work in medicine, but in my home country, dermatologist always seemed to be a one of the "rich" specialities, with very few doctors working in the public sector, instead preferring to work in private clinics where they are stormed with countless rich teenagers trying rid off all kinds of acne. It may be boring, but they can dry their tears with cash. :P
as someone who has an obsession with dermatology and skin this is exactly how i feel lol. my coworker was complaining about his rash and i immediately go “thats psoriasis, go see a derm”. two week later, he told me he got a derm who made the same diagnosis.
Skin is also great at keeping germs out and blood in. Skin is the largest organ in the immune system. It stops germs and we can just wash them off. The germs only get in if the skin is cut or broken.
The eyes when Dermatology says no one takes them seriously because of their great schedule and beautiful skin!

All the respect for dermatology, caring for the largest organ, people (me) convinced every last spot is melanoma (I know you said it's just a hive, but talk me down from mycosis fungoides, I've been on Google today), dealing with little kids using retinol because that's now a thing, diagnosing lupus and weird gastric diseases left and right and seeing all the credit go to Rheumatology and Gastro.
Makes my day evertime … 😅
Awww, poor derm, they have it so rough
OMG FINALLY!
Its so relatable that it gave me flashbacks...kkkk
Dermatology.
When you want 4 day weekends.
And spend your weekends awash in sunscreen
Derms saved my mom’s life. Skin cancer can look just like a mole and that mole can gaslight you for many years. Thank you Dr.Cassie!
WE'D STICK TO EVERYTHING
I hit basically all of the risk factors for melanoma. Dermatologists, I love you. 🤟
I literally just did an inpatient consult on a patient this week for a maculopapular rash 😂😂 it was definitely not vesiculobullous!
Ive started derma this week. And we have just made that vesiculobullos convo with a fellow today😂
“Wait, what??” 😂
4th consult this week? Dude i get that in first hour 😂
“We’d stick to everything”
NEW NIGHTMARE UNLOCKED 🔓
I do not work in medicine, but in my home country, dermatologist always seemed to be a one of the "rich" specialities, with very few doctors working in the public sector, instead preferring to work in private clinics where they are stormed with countless rich teenagers trying rid off all kinds of acne. It may be boring, but they can dry their tears with cash. :P
I heard “we’d stick to everything” and then I imagined: “Splat splat splat splisht”
Hahhaaha now this is what shorts content is supposed to be 😂😂
I do know what it's like not to have skin.
If I get a bad eczema flare up I do stick to everything.
I'd love to see a dermatologist one day.
I finally got my husband in to get checked by a dermatologist. Took a biopsy of a weird mole & thankfully was all fine. Yeah! Come back in a year!

Sir, you just made water come of my nose. Also, you do have a beautiful face. 😂😅❤
He's right. We would definitely not continue existence without skin. It deserves more respect. Stop frying it in the sun!
This was Mobius’ fate if he was too slow
as someone who has an obsession with dermatology and skin this is exactly how i feel lol. my coworker was complaining about his rash and i immediately go “thats psoriasis, go see a derm”. two week later, he told me he got a derm who made the same diagnosis.
Skin is also great at keeping germs out and blood in. Skin is the largest organ in the immune system. It stops germs and we can just wash them off. The germs only get in if the skin is cut or broken.
It's all fun and games until your skin starts falling off.
“We’d stick to everything!” 😨
I’m grateful for my dermatologist who helped me get rid of adult acne and also deal with cysts on my skin!
