Actinic keratoses are premalignant lesions that occur in sun exposed skin. 25% of Americans will develop these. Treatment can be medical, with 5FU or Picato, or surgical with cryotherapy or surgery. We discuss these "lesions" as well as a new treatment for chest actinic keratoses. My guest was Dr. Robert Grant, chief of plastic surgery at Columbia and Cornell - we spoke about "distracted surgery" and also about finding truthful medical information on the internet. Finally, we discussed rejuvenation after chemotherapy. Whew!

As the season changes, so does your skin. There are predictable changes in the skin that can make your skin look less healthy. And the summer sun has created wrinkles, splotches, and even skin cancers. We talk about the different types of skin cancer and our guest from the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital spoke about a brand new treatment for brain cancer. And last, but not least, we discussed vaginal rejuvenation.
