Ever been diagnosed with stasis dermatitis? If you're dealing with swelling, redness, or relentless itchiness on your lower legs, it's not just dry skin or aging—it could be a sign of poor circulation.Stasis dermatitis is more than just a rash. If left unchecked, it can lead to painful ulcers, infections, and serious complications. It's often mistaken for cellulitis, which means unnecessary antibiotics—and in one case, a patient was hospitalized 11 times before getting the right diagnosis. And heads up—it doesn't just show up on legs. It can also affect areas like the belly and lower back where blood tends to pool.To help us unpack this overlooked condition, I'm joined by Dr. Peter Lio—a board-certified dermatologist and eczema expert. He's a Clinical Assistant Professor at Northwestern, Harvard-trained, and has published over 100 papers, including a textbook on integrative dermatology.Dr. Lio breaks down what stasis dermatitis is, why it's often missed, and how to spot it early. If you or someone you love has unexplained swelling, itchy legs, or chronic redness—don't miss this episode!⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Dr. Peter Lio - https://chicagoeczema.com/ - See all the references

In this episode of Derms and Conditions, host James Q. Del Rosso, DO, invites Peter Lio, MD, a clinical professor of dermatology at Northwestern University, to explore the complexities of selecting therapies for atopic dermatitis (AD) with a particular focus on the newly approved IL-13 inhibitor, lebrikizumab. With a growing number of treatment options, Dr Lio and Dr Del Rosso examine how these therapies are enhancing patient management in unique ways. The discussion opens with a look at the current "embarrassment of riches" in AD treatments. Dermatologists now have multiple biologic options to choose from, each with distinct features. Dr Lio highlights lebrikizumab's flexible dosing, which can shift to once monthly after the initial treatment period, potentially offering patients a more manageable treatment routine. They also explore key differences among IL-13 inhibitors, such as lebrikizumab's unique binding characteristics that may influence the overall balance of IL-13 in the body. Dr Lio also notes the possibility of achieving relative remission for certain patients on lebrikizumab, as suggested by a long-term extension study where some patients maintained improvement even after stopping the drug. They also cover the safety and tolerability aspects of AD therapies, including conjunctivitis, arthropathy, and erythematous reactions sometimes seen with these drugs. Dr Lio shares insights on managing these side effects, emphasizing that despite similar mechanisms of action, switching between IL-13 inhibitors may alleviate adverse reactions for certain patients. Tune in to the full episode for expert insights on differentiating and integrating the latest therapies for AD, strategies for engaging patients in their treatment plans, and valuable guidance on navigating today's expanding therapeutic landscape.

In this episode of Cutaneous Miscellaneous, Dr. Nicholas Brownstone welcomes Dr Peter Lio, founding director of the Chicago Integrative Eczema Center, to discuss the 3 FDA-approved biologics for atopic dermatitis, focusing on the latest addition, lebrikizumab. With more options for atopic dermatitis come new challenges for clinicians. Dr Lio offers practical insights on differentiating dupilumab, tralokinumab, and lebrikizumab, all targeting the IL-4/13 pathways but with distinct binding and dosing characteristics. He explains his decision-making process for starting biologics, discusses patient education on safety, and provides valuable strategies for navigating insurance. For residents, Dr Lio shares tips on gaining hands-on experience with biologics, staying updated on upcoming treatments like OX40 inhibitors, and key board review topics, including the differences in binding sites, side effects, and dosing protocols of these agents. Tune in to the full episode for high-yield information and clinical pearls for dermatologists navigating the evolving landscape of atopic dermatitis treatments!

Are you struggling with a super itchy skin rash that looks like eczema? If gluten seems to be a trigger – you might be dealing with dermatitis herpetiformis!Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is a rare skin rash that starts off as incredibly itchy, small blisters that eventually start to become open sores due to constant scratching.This rash is generally considered to be MORE ITCHY than eczema, and is commonly found in the creases of elbows, knees, and buttocks.What causes DH, you might ask? The answer is surprising: Gluten. Yes, dermatitis herpetiformis is a gluten rash – the skin manifestation of celiac disease. In fact, eliminating gluten from your diet and skincare is necessary to find relief.Joining me to talk about the link between gluten, dermatitis herpetiformis, and celiac disease is fan-favorite guest Dr. Peter Lio, who is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Dermatology & Pediatrics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.He received his medical degree from Harvard Medical School, completed his internship in Pediatrics at Boston Children's Hospital, and his Dermatology training at Harvard where he served as Chief Resident in Dermatology. While at Harvard, Dr. Lio received formal training in acupuncture. Dr. Lio has written a textbook on Integrative Dermatology and has published over 100 papers.In This Episode:What is dermatitis herpetiformis (DH)?Dermatitis herpetiformis symptomsHow is this gluten rash diagnosed?Other clues that you may have dermatitis herpetiformis (e.g. altered oral health)Autoimmune conditions linked to this celiac rashCan removing gluten from your diet improve dermatitis herpetiformis symptoms?Dermatitis herpetiformis treatment optionsNutrient deficiencies associated with celiac diseaseShould you use gluten-free skincare if you have DH?Quotes“Dermatitis herpetiformis, or DH, is really an inflammatory autoimmune disease that actually results in tiny blisters, although when most patients see it, they tend to look more eczematous…It's incredibly itchy.”“[The itch] can be absolutely crazy. They can be going nuts where they're scratching. And again, it's these funny areas, elbows, knees, buttocks, and they're so uncomfortable. They can't really seem to get to the itch. I find it's even more intense and deeper in general than atopic dermatitis.”LinksFind Dr. Lio online | Twitter | FacebookHealthy Skin Show ep. 216: Could Your Rash Be A Sign Of Lymphoma? w/ Dr. Peter LioHealthy Skin Show ep. 246: Everything You Need To Know About Skin Tests (Done By Your Dermatologist) w/ Dr. Peter LioHealthy Skin Show ep. 275: Why You're So Itchy (HINT: It's Probably Not Histamine) w/ Dr. Shawn KwatraDermatitis Herpetiformis (NIDDK)Dermatitis Herpetiformis (NIH)Dermatitis Herpetiformis: Novel Perspectives

Tempted to try a bleach bath for eczema skin rashes? Did your doctor recommend them? Before you go dumping Clorox into your bath water — you need to hear this. Because honestly, the science doesn't support bleach baths which was highlighted by Dr. Peter Lio at the Eczema Expo 2023 meeting. Turns out that the research on this outdated practice isn't as helpful as everyone thought, which is why I recommend a mineral bath over a bleach bath for rashes every single time. Now, I know that there's information out there recommending bleach baths for rashes, eczema, hives, and fungal infections. A simple Google search will turn up results suggesting this practice is totally safe. Especially since many dermatologists have promoted bleach baths as helpful tools for a long time. But newer data just doesn't support this idea as newer studies suggest bleach baths just aren't very effective. And that's not to mention the fact a bleach bath can dry your skin out and INCREASE itchiness. Plus, if you're sitting in a bleach bath, you're exposing your lungs to chlorine, which isn't a great idea. Let's explore some of the studies that have debunked the bleach bath myth and what the science says is way better for your skin. Spoiler: mineral baths are a much better option! In This Episode: What is a bleach bath for eczema? Recommended eczema bleach bath ratio from doctors Side effects of doing an eczema bleach bath (no one tells you) What is a mineral bath soak — and why is it so much better than bleach? Bleach bath alternatives like baking soda, sulfur, colloidal oatmeal, and pink Himalayan salt – how do they stack up? Why mineral bath soak can support your skin barrier and reduce angry skin Quotes “If you took a bleach bath that's strong enough to kill the bacteria that may be on your skin — you'd expose yourself to dangerous levels of bleach!” “A 2020 review… concluded that mineral-rich waters (in particular salty and sulfur waters) demonstrated anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial activity.” Links Get the Soothing Skin Soak + MSM from DermaQuell to use 3-4x per week!

If you've ever wondered, "what is contact dermatitis?" -- you're in for a treat because this episode is going to blow your mind! My guest Dr. JiaDe (Jeff) Yu lectured on contact allergic dermatitis at the Eczema Expo 2023 hosted by the National Eczema Association, and I found his presentation so valuable that I invited him here to share the ins + outs on the topic. We covered a ton of information, but what I can say is that contact dermatitis is complex! Allergic contact dermatitis isn't like a traditional allergy in specific ways (especially when it comes to using antihistamines to get things under control). There's unfortunately a significant issue with both false positive AND false negative results from testing. AND how to treat contact dermatitis will vary depending on several factors (like whether it's a topical problem versus a systemic one). If you aren't familiar with Dr. JiaDe (Jeff) Yu, he's an Assistant Professor of Dermatology at Harvard Medical School and a dual board-certified adult and pediatric dermatologist practicing at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, MA. He is the Director of Occupational and Contact Dermatitis Clinic and the Associate Director of Clinical Trials. He has a niche interest in pediatric allergic contact dermatitis and has published numerous peer-reviewed articles on allergic contact dermatitis and atopic dermatitis in leading dermatology journals. He has received numerous research grants from the Dermatology Foundation, American Contact Dermatitis Society, and the Pediatric Dermatology Research Alliance to better understand the biomedical underpinnings of allergic contact dermatitis. Dr. Yu is the President-Elect of the American Contact Dermatitis Society and has been invited to lecture nationally and internationally on his areas of expertise. Have you had any personal experience with contact dermatitis? I'd love to hear your story, comments + questions on this topic in the comments below! In this episode: What is contact dermatitis (and is it genetic)? Contact dermatitis compared to food or environmental allergies Which antihistamines don't work for contact dermatitis Top contact dermatitis allergies The antibiotic that's a common allergy If you're reactive to medical gloves... Crazy "hidden" sources of contact dermatitis allergens Testing for contact dermatitis (beware of your results) Quotes "When you do get a cut or a scrape, the skin barrier is physically damaged, therefore allowing the introduction of new allergens into the skin. So when you put on a triple antibiotic, which includes three different antibiotic components, neomycin, bacitracin, as well as polysporin, you give your body the opportunity to learn about these allergens and then become allergic to them. " [10:03] "Disperse dyes are the most common thing that causes contact dermatitis in clothing- specifically disperse blue dyes. " [20:50] "Vitamin B12 is very high in cobalt because vitamin B12 is also known as cobalamin and in the middle of it, there's a cobalt molecule. So, people who have high doses of vitamin B12 can actually get a rash due to the ingestion of cobalt if they have cobalt dermatitis."

I'll be direct. Anything and everything to do with food allergies seems to be kind of confusing. I'm hoping today to demystify some of the questions and thoughts and ideas from the patient side of things around allergies and allergy testing, specifically. Today's guest, Dr. Stacy Silvers is a board-certified allergist specializing in environmental and food allergy diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Dr. Silvers oversees Aspire's allergy program and protocols, and also leads the food allergy and oral immunotherapy (OIT) program at Aspire Allergy & Sinus. Dr. Silvers is considered an expert in the field of food allergy diagnosis and treatment. Join us as Dr. Silvers discusses all things relating to food allergies, diagnosis and treatment! What do you have experience with? Is it patch testing, skin prick, intradermal testing, blood test... the whole nine yards? Let me know in the comments what has worked for you and if your diagnosis was a game-changer! In this episode: Food sensitivities vs. food allergies The differences between allergen testing -- blood, patch + skin prick Which medications interfere with allergy testing results Why you could develop a food allergy despite eating it before without any issue Thoughts on removing foods to figure out a food allergy Quotes “That's one of the benefits of (skin prick) testing is you get quick results, usually before you even walk out the door. So that test is very good for nasal allergies, food allergies, anaphylactic type reactions." [05:31] “When we compare prick testing and the lab testing, the sensitivity is about 75% with the blood test compared to the prick test. So if we can do the prick test, we prefer to go that route. But we can't always do the prick test. You have to be off certain medications in order to do the prick testing reliably."

Itchy eyes. Sinus pressure. Coughing and sneezing... Many people take antihistamines to get through an allergy episode, and that can be totally OK. But what about if you have to take them everyday? Are there potential long term side effects? Today's guest, Dr. Chris Thompson, is a Board Certified Otolaryngologist, Head & Neck Surgeon with over 25 years of experience practicing medicine in Texas. He earned his undergraduate degree in Biomedical Engineering from Texas A & M University in College Station and went on to receive his Doctorate of Medicine at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. Dr. Thompson completed his residency with the Department of Otolaryngology, Head & Neck Surgery at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston.Dr. Thompson focuses solely on allergy, sinus and nasal treatment and is considered an expert in all three fields. He is one of a handful of doctors that played an integral role in the development of the cutting-edge sinus procedure, Balloon Sinuplasty. Dr. Thompson is also experienced with nasal reconstructive procedures and rhinoplasty. He is very excited for the future of allergy treatment through sublingual immunotherapy, as more patients choose and stay consistent with the treatment. He is also a member of the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, American Academy of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, Texas Medical Association, and Travis County Medical Society. Join us as Dr. Thompson discusses all things relating to allergies, the side effects of long-term use of antihistamines, and other options that people can use or try to get off of those meds such as immunotherapy. Have you used antihistamines to calm down a severe allergic response? Have they helped, but you're ready to try something new? Let me know in the comments if you have questions! In this episode: Are antihistamines appropriate for daily use? Different types of antihistamines (what do they do?) How eczema, food allergies + asthma are related Antihistamines crossing the blood-brain barrier (YIKES) Non-pharmaceutical options to consider (and discuss with your doctor) Treatment options for different types of specific allergies Quotes “There are some studies that link long-term antihistamine use with things like dementia. There was one I read recently that showed an increase in glial tumors, which are typically brain tumors... There are links to depression. There are links to weight gain with these and all, but one of the antihistamines over-the-counter can cross the blood-brain barrier." [4:16] “One of the most surprising facts about allergy is that only 2% of the population of allergy patients seek allergy care. Imagine, if 3% of cancer patients or 2% of sleep apnea patients sought and received proper care for their medical ailment? It would just be unfathomable, but yet in the allergy world, again, we're not talking about a life threatening problem in most cases, but it really does get sidelined and poo-pooed by a lot of doctors."

Have you ever heard of endolysins? Are you wondering what these things are and how are they relevant when talking about skin conditions? Today's episode is sponsored by Gladskin which makes a topical cream that I think you should know about called Eczema Cream with Micreobalance®… and it's highly relevant to what we're talking about today. I became aware of Gladskin several years ago when community members started to share their personal stories of how Gladskin's Eczema Cream had helped their eczema flares + symptoms.Because I didn't fully understand how exactly the product worked, I read up on the Micreobalance® endolysin technology and talked to people at Gladskin so that I better understood why it could be helpful while being free of antibiotics and steroids. I was really impressed with how neat endolysins are – sort of like pac-mans (for those of you who are old enough to remember that video game) that target the bad and preserve the good, to keep your skin microbiome in check. You can check out more about Gladskin Eczema Cream with Micreobalance® AND save 15% off your order at www.gladskin.com/healthyskinshow. My guest today is Dr. Peter Lio, a Clinical Assistant Professor of Dermatology & Pediatrics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. He received his medical degree from Harvard Medical School, completed his internship in Pediatrics at Boston Children's Hospital, and his Dermatology training at Harvard where he served as Chief Resident in Dermatology. While at Harvard, he received formal training in acupuncture. Dr. Lio will be giving you the low down on endolysins – I know you're going to find this just as fascinating as I do, so let's dive in! Have you ever tried Gladskin, and has it helped on your skin journey? Post something you learned it in the comments! In this episode: The difference between the skin microbiome of eczema vs healthy skin Thoughts on antibiotic resistance as a growing medical concern Endolysins: what are they + how they support the skin microbiome How Gladskin's Micreobalance® utilizes endolysins to help the skin's microbiome Real-life stories from Dr. Lio's practice of patients using Gladskin Tips + strategies to help you use Gladskin with Micreobalance® Quotes “There is some very convincing evidence that it may help with not only the bacterial balance on the skin, but also with atopic dermatitis. So we can actually see some of the studies are studied in patients with eczema or atopic dermatitis. I think there is pretty convincing evidence of clinical helpfulness of these [endolysin] products.” [10:47] “... the baby's branded one. Actually, they remove the oat because there is some discussion around putting foods on our skin and the connection between allergy. Some people really do have an oat allergy. So [The Eczema Cream for Babies and Kids] is an even simpler, kind of an even cleaner preparation for the babies, which I love." [14:44] "I'm really excited about Gladskin's work in this space. I think they're being bold. They're trying something totally new and entering in as really the only one of its kind right now. So it's kind of exciting to have a totally new class. When patients say, 'What is this like?' It's like, 'Nothing. It's really a totally new thing!' This is something really new and exciting."

How does patch testing work? Thoughts on supplementing with B12 if you have a cobalt allergy Hidden sneaky source of benzoyl peroxide (if you have this allergy) Quotes “Scabies are these little, teeny-tiny mites, they're invisible to the naked eye, but not to the microscope. So what we do is we'll scrape the little parts of the skin or even better is we can scrape under your nails because if you're itchy, you're collecting little scabies mites under your fingernails.” [08:51] “The biggest thing I think for bacterial infection is skin pain or tenderness. If it's just itchy, I'm not as worried, but if a patient calls me and says, it hurts, it's sore. Then I'm like, whoa, that's a super four-alarm fire.” [11:04] Links Find Dr. Lio Online Healthy Skin Show ep. 001: How to Protect & Strengthen Your Skin Barrier w/ Dr. Peter Lio Healthy Skin Show ep. 037: Nickel Allergy And Eczema w/ Dr. Peter Lio Healthy Skin Show ep. 104: Topical B12 For Skin Rashes w/ Dr. Peter Lio Healthy Skin Show ep. 136: Alternative Solutions For Rosacea w/ Dr. Peter Lio Healthy Skin Show ep. 176: Dealing With Recurrent Skin Infections w/ Dr. Peter Lio Healthy Skin Show ep. 216: Could Your Rash Be A Sign Of Lymphoma? w/ Dr. Peter Lio Healthy Skin Show ep.107: Symptoms Of A Staph Infection On Your Skin Follow Dr. Lio on Twitter | Facebook

"During COVID, the medical training system had to adapt because people couldn't meet in person and even those that could didn't have access to patients or facilities in the same capacity. However, the explosion of remote training tools that became available make this hybrid training method as good in many ways, and perhaps even preferable to one that consists mainly of in-person lectures. In fact, some medical schools have suggested that all preclinical classes should be available exclusively online by 2025. As a result, schools and other stakeholder organizations should examine alternative methods of medical training and can use this opportunity to embrace new technologies in order to effectively and efficiently educate trainees. It may be time to abandon the old ways and fully embrace the advantages virtual training environments, including video games, have to offer." Peter Lio is a dermatologist. He shares his story and discusses his KevinMD article, "The evolution of medical training in dermatology and the impact of technology." (https://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2021/09/the-evolution-of-medical-training-in-dermatology-and-the-impact-of-technology.html)

Why swollen lymph nodes should be assess by your doctor What is a lipoma? Could chronic hives be a sign of cancer? Quotes “Lipomas are really, really common. They're basically little fatty lumps. They're just a little bit of extra fat tissue, it's usually just under the skin.” [16:39] “There are also a whole bunch of signs that are called paraneoplastic signs. These are things that are associated with cancer.

You know, they're stressed out, they're not sleeping well, they're miserable. And they're like, why can't I just find the one supplement to fix me? That's not how it works.

But rosacea happens on a much faster timescale.” [2:56] “So our first line treatments would be things like topical metronidazole. It's technically an antibiotic, but we're pretty convinced in this context it's more for its antiinflammatory effect. It's very safe and gentle.

“Am I at greater risk of getting really sick from the Coronavirus because of the medication I'm taking?” It's a good question. Especially because many people who suffer from severe skin rash conditions like atopic dermatitis and psoriasis may be on immunosuppressants or biologic medications. I've seen this question posed a number of times online and it's something I wondered myself. Unfortunately, there isn't much direction provided to our skin rash community even from the big advocacy organizations at this point. I figured that I'd start asking around to help you get a straight answer. In today's episode, I'm sharing the response that I got from a Healthy Skin Show guest Dr. Peter Lio and an official statement from one organization. Plus I've got a list of medications that could be a concern so you know whether it's time to give your doctor a call. In this episode: Should you worry about your risk of getting the Coronavirus if you're on immunosuppressants or biologic drugs? Statement from Dr. Peter Lio on the matter List of immunosuppressant drugs What you should do if you're taking one of these medications Quotes: Do not just stop medication without the guidance of your physician just because you read online that it could make you susceptible. The International Psoriasis Council officially recommends that “physicians discontinue or postpone use of immunosuppressant medications.”

For those of us with chronic skin rashes, topical steroid creams are usually the first thing prescribed. But many of us aren't given any guidelines for the safe use of these topicals, or informed about alternative treatments we can utilize. My guest today is Dr. Peter Lio. Dr. Lio is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Dermatology & Pediatrics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. He received his medical degree from Harvard Medical School, completed his internship in Pediatrics at Boston Children's Hospital, and his Dermatology training at Harvard where he served as Chief Resident in Dermatology. While at Harvard, he received formal training in acupuncture. Dr. Lio has written a textbook on Integrative Dermatology and has published over 100 papers. Join us as we discuss the safe use of topical steroid creams, topical steroid withdrawal, and the use of topical B12 for skin rashes. Have you tried topical B12 for skin rashes? Let me know in the comments! In this episode: How should people use topical steroid creams? What is Topical Steroid Withdrawal? Using topical steroids on sensitive spots (e.g. eyelids) How do products like Eucrisa differ from topical steroid creams? What is PEA (and could it be good for your skin)? Using Topical B12 for skin rashes Quotes “When you put topical steroids on, your blood vessels constrict. And if you keep doing that, then they kind of rebound and dilate, which is part of why we think people with TSW are bright red all the time. Their blood vessels are kind of broken from that.” [17:50] “B12 is crimson red as a powder and when put in this white base, it becomes pink. So we call it pink magic. And we've had it in our office for many years. And lots of patients like it. Again, it's got very modest effect, but it is very soothing.” [22:47] Links Find Dr. Lio online Topical Steroid Withdrawal in Atopic Dermatitis article To try Pink Magic, contact Dr. Lio's office HERE Pink Magic recipe ITSAN Find Dr. Lio on Twitter | Facebook

Eczema can be caused by a variety of factors, including environmental allergies, food sensitivities, and stress. My guest today talks more about these different allergies, and shares some natural tools to help manage atopic dermatitis.  Dr. Peter Lio is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Dermatology & Pediatrics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.   He received his medical degree from Harvard Medical School, completed his internship in Pediatrics at Boston Children's Hospital, and his Dermatology training at Harvard where he served as Chief Resident in Dermatology. While at Harvard, he received formal training in acupuncture. He has written a textbook on Integrative Dermatology and has published over 100 papers. Today, Dr. Lio and I have a discussion about allergies and eczema, why super restrictive diets are often not the best way to go, and some natural methods to manage your chronic eczema. Do you use stress management techniques to manage a skin condition? Leave a comment!   In this episode Mary's Rash segment on the Ellen Show (that's caused a lot of outrage and pushback from her audience) The three troublesome ingredients in Cortizone-10 Is it important to know what skin condition you actually have? How does he differentiate between rashes? Environmental allergy testing for those with severe eczema Can the nickel in foods affect the skin the same way as the nickel found in metal? Why very restrictive diets can be detrimental Dr. Lio's favorite natural tools for skin conditions   Quotes “People often say. 'With dermatology, just look at a picture and you'll know,' and it's actually not always that easy. We really want to hear the story. I want to see the patient. I want to get a sense of what is going on. And, many times, that history is more important than just looking at it, even though we pride ourselves on being a very visual specialty.” [2:55] “What I've found is that allergies are extremely common with atopic dermatitis, both food allergies and environmental allergies.” [5:55] "I do feel very strongly that stress brings out eczema in a lot of people. So stress reduction techniques like meditation, Tai Chi, yoga...it sounds kind of goofy and sometimes patients will roll their eyes, but it helps for some people."

Many people don't realize that our skin acts as a barrier to help protect us from the outside world. When that barrier fails, it can lead to a whole host of conditions from, eczema to food allergies. I am so excited to have an expert on the skin barrier, Dr. Peter A. Lio, on this episode to talk about this important topic. Dr. Lio is a Harvard trained integrative dermatologist and clinical assistant professor of dermatology and pediatrics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. He's published over 100 papers in addition to a textbook on integrative dermatology. He specializes in using moisturizers to protect and support the skin and its function as your body's outer barrier. Today we discuss how skin is the first line of defense for our bodies. It keeps out the elements of the environment that would cause a lot of damage if they made their way in. When there is a breakdown in this barrier there can be a whole host of issues. As Dr. Lio tells us, the proper use of moisturizers can play a big role in maintaining your skin barrier's functions. Do you use moisturizer to treat chronic skin conditions? Tell me about it in the comments!   In this episode What the skin barrier is and why it is important Filaggrin and its connection to eczema What you can do to protect your skin-barrier if you have a deficiency in filaggrin The connection between leaky skin and food allergies and what the research says about preventing the development of these allergies in the first place What you should keep in mind when looking for a moisturizer The role the skin barrier plays in conditions like psoriasis, rosacea, acne, and seborrheic dermatitis   Quotes “Our skin barrier is really critical to keeping our skin healthy and keeping the immune system and our other allergies in check. It's our barrier to the outside world.” [2:38] “If you have eczema, you know that you're deficient [in filaggrin], either genetically or functionally.” [6:44] “Wherever there is inflammation in the skin, the barrier is in trouble.”  [15:01]   Links Be sure to enter our incredible launch contest to win over $500 of skincare goodies!
