Here is a link to the gentleman with the massive nose mass from Dr. Pimple Popper! ua-cam.com/video/yc1kTxbnEqA/v-deo.html
Always put babyoil on wet damp skin ex after shower and air dry. Entire body super smooth!!
My legs and arms aren't that bad, but they're getting there. Just today my daughter and I worked on them for two hours. We've scheduled a second session for monday to finish the job. I was getting pretty sore and had to quit.
I have scleroderma with vasculitis. The capillary inflammation causes poor blood flow and that really messes up the skin. I'm about to go to a wound healing center to help with the open sours, but the only thing that helps the sheets of dry skin is moisture. The more the better. The problem is that the pain, burning, and itching is pure hell and it kills me to have my feet wrapped so I'm not as compliant as I should be. I do put bandaids a vaseline on the the worst spots and that helps them heal up.
I notice he has a Vietnam veteran hat on, I’m no doctor but as a veteran myself, I bet he was exposed to something like agent orange or something during the war!

It's the VA. it's taken 6 years to get a referral to dermatology for me. VA never hurries up
The fact that his Dr at the VA wouldn't provide a referral to a dermatologist to get to the root of this problem is anger inducing.
I agree that it's heartbreaking that the V A failed this military veteran. We owe our veterans good health care as payment to their service to our country. .
Agreed. The VA many times is not good. All vets should get an insurance card that is valid at any medical clinic or doctor. My Dad has no luck with the dermatologists there, but outside of the VA they immediately diagnose him.
@Nightscream452...Agreed. I'm a Critical Care RN, I worked PRN for 2 years at my local VA Hospital, which is known as one of the best VA Hospitals in the country, but I resigned from my position related to the many things I found wrong in the system and it broke my heart every day I went to work...I could not believe the level of care we were giving our soldiers. My heart wanted to stay and change things...but my brain knew I couldn't fight/change the government institution.
This is pretty common sadly
Finally, a chance to use the "first time?" meme from Buster Scruggs! That's consistent with our experiences with the VA.
8:34 I am literally crying my eyes out with happiness for him. As a chronic pain sufferer with rheumatoid arthritis, to hear he went from a 9 to being pain free is joyous to hear
I started crying too. I'm so happy for him
Same! As someone living with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, I'm glad to see someone whose pain could actually be eliminated.
Same.
Same here... thank you Jesus!!!!
Same, as someone with UC and Lupus I could not stop the water works coming out when he said that
My Pops came home from Vietnam with what the doctors called "jungle rot". It wasn't this bad, but it was horrible. Big, thick slabs of skin coming off of his feet. He suffered with it for years. After 25 years or so, one night he went catfishing with a friend on a practically inaccessible sand bar( meaning it was clean and pristine). He walked around in the loose sand all night, then all the next day. A week or so later, like magic, the jungle rot was gone forever. It was amazing
Dandruff shampoo. The stinky blue head&shoulders works best. Preventative is to not wear shoes and wash your towels and bedsheets often. It’s worse if you have healthproblems.
We lost a lot of good men over there.
Some still suffer.
@@808bigisland Thanks!
I can’t believe how long this poor man has gone without receiving help for it, and it’s such a small simple thing he needed to do to help him with his condition. So unfortunate, I’m so glad he got some answers finally and some actual relief.
My husband goes to the VA and they provide the urea cream and the aquaphor Vaseline for him to use daily and also white cotton socks to wear. His feet and legs are in pretty good condition.
@@gaylasmith7935 p0977
@@gaylasmith7935 so pee and vaseline will fix this?
@@Kopie0830it's not urine, it's urea. It doesn't smell bad at all, lots or hand/body creams contain it, I have a foot cream which says 11% urea (a very basic every person cream, not medical), and it smells floral. I have body lotion, also 10%, also smells nice, doesn't sting, just a normal cream. Urea helps with dry skin a lot.
As someone with a chronic mystery health condition, I'd suspect he tried regular lotion at the beginning, it didn't work; he went to doctors and their focus was probably pharmacological, so he never considered lotion again.
Fr. For me, I have eczema issues and a doctor recommended me a lotion and sadly it didn't work to go having fragrance or something in the lotion. He never ever recommended me actual eczema cream. Also they gave me something to avoid me from itching like alcohol based cream 💀💀
It would depend on the lotion. I was prescribed ammonium lactate cream for the winter and a lotion for the summer (same disease, except I was born with it). It takes about 2-3 days before it begins to break down the dead skin cells on top, but it will eventually clear the entire area in about a week of use. After the skin has cleared I only have to use the prescribed lotion about once a week, using regular OTC lotion in between. OTC lotions will do basically nothing while the skin cells are built up.
@@Nyax50LopezCeraVe. Cetaphil or Aquafor would be best
@Nyax #50 Lopez The issue very well be with your gut... You should consider finding a doctor that will do a full blood panel and food sensitivity test... In the meantime you could try a magnesium based cream..
Their solution is ALWAYS pharmacological.
Psoriasis sufferer here.
It's really like your skin is on fire all the time, and the itching is so bad I've had literal panic attacks because of it (Imagine you have a persistent itch that you shouldn't scratch, then when you do it either gets worse or it starts to hurt). Mine was all over my body in various spots, and I couldn't even sleep at night, let alone just live my life. For 12 years I looked for anything that would help with one doc, and the second that I switched to another one, she hooked me up with something that actually helped, and I only have a spot on my right arm now. (First she put me on Cosentyx, then onto Skyrizi)
So... I can relate to the dead skin coming off in sheets.
Auto-immune diseases are a special kind of hell. My heart goes out to this poor man.
Only bad things about those biological injections is you have to stay on it for the rest of your life. I had psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis for over 30 years and I’m 41 now, and was on enbrel, unfortunately it stopped working and it came back 5 times worse plus they were really expensive even with full health insurance. If those biological injections ever stopped working or are getting to expensive every year then I suggest you get to the root of the problem and heal it naturally. My psoriasis fully healed in 6 months
My grandpa has psoriasis and most of the time he is free from it, but one time he had a really bad outburst (one of the first he had) and doctors couldn't figure out a permanent treatment, since the pill he was using generates resistance and if it doesn't solve the problem makes it worse. As a last resort we took him with an indigenous (mapuche) healer and she gave him some herbs to take for like two weeks and no shit it did work hahaha, now he can have some outburst but they are not so strong and the pills do their work properly as he is healed easily.
@@catalinacaro8183 This is unbelievable! My whole body is on fire today and I thought, if only my abuela was here, she could fix it. Of course she’s been gone a long time, but the point is: we’re Mapuche! I have not heard “Mapuche” since leaving La Serena in late 1973. Thank you for reminding me that we still exist 😊.
I'm so sorry you had to suffer for so many years but happy to hear that you have improved significantly.
Sorry about that. Life sucks when you have this sickness. I fell into a dirty creek after some dude, jealous of me with my girlfriend, pushed me and I fell to a dirty creek. My feet got submerged and I've been suffering ever since with dry itchy flaky skin on my left feet. I've tried all typed of creams but it just keeps getting worse. So I went off brand and tried all the antifungal and antibacterial creams that I could have mixed them together and suprisingly, it worked.
Dr Youn you could’ve gone your whole life without ever saying the words “forbidden potato chip” whyyyyy 😭😭
Yeah… that made me gag.😂
And I wish he would have!😂
Lol!
lol sometimes in the medical field we have a morbid sense of humor!!! Kinda comes with our professions!!😂
Yes excuse me for just a second 🤢🤮😵💫
I have Psoriasis, and I empathise with this gentleman soooo much; this was heartbreaking to see 😢
That poor man. He spent so long in pain when he could have gotten proper help a lot sooner. This is a really cool video. I'm really glad that it's not genetic.
I agree with you, that someone who risked his life for our freedom, should never have to live like that!💙💙💙
Psyorisis is horrific, it looks like you are covered in dried concrete, when this bad it is agony causing, I am thankful for only having a mild version but have met someone who had it this bad over most of his body, he was amazing and personally I have never forgot how he kept smiling regardless. The 1986 tv series /( I believe it is also a book/play ) "The Sining Detective" written by Dennis Potter. Is about a man suffering from from severe psoriasis like this and the delusions he goes through due to the pain. Not for young viewers but if you are an adult I really recommend seeing it. Michael Gambon plays the afflicted patient and is joined by other actors including Immelda Stauton, ken Stot, Alison Steadman and Bill Patterson, to name a few.
People need more acsess to cheaper medical atention, and to make people more aware of conditions so they are not fearing the unknown.
It is quite sad, but I am glad he mostly got treated.
@@carrotz132 I am in the UK but totally agree with you, for a long time the only treatment was just to moisturise the skin and hope to get it back to a livable condition, a massive flare up could end up in weeks in a hospital bed, over here that is not feared but in the states I guess many just couldn't afford that,. I am lucky as mine is in small patches and my scalp, and for the most part is controlled by a mixture of steroid creams, moisturisers and specialised shampoos when flared up badly. That said for anyone who suffers from it or excezma or the like a way to try and minimise flare ups without costing a fortune is to limit soap use, use just water when possible and when using it rotate between several types of soaps, dish liquids, shampoos and conditioners , etc, yes its a lot to have but it is a lot less expensive than medicines. You will still get flare ups but I've found them occurring far less if I maintain rotations.
Dennis Potter had severe psoriasis.
This isn’t psoriasis, but it does share similar symptoms. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease, ichthyosis is a genetic disorder. Psoriasis generally comes in episodes with patches affecting different parts of the body and ichthyosis covers the entire body that remains on the surface constantly.
@@LindzTheLooneyOfLondon psoriasis can cover the whole body head to toe like mine. I was about 80% covered of red inflamed skin and white scales for 30 years. I also took the biological injections but they stopped working eventually and it came back worse once I stopped using them. What dermatologist don’t tell you, In psoriasis you have to heal the root of the problem not just treat the symptom which is the inflammation of the skin. I completely healed my psoriasis naturally without expensive toxic prescription medications, in 6 months
He's from my hometown!
Very nice to see him getting relief!
Just to be clear, I’m a combat veteran and if I want good healthcare I know NOT to go to the V.A. Medical Centers. If you want to live, you have to find good doctors in the community around you, not the governments medical centers.
As a Veteran myself, I have received great treatment at the VA. However, dermatology wise, no. Definitely need a referral.
Wow, in Czechia is the Military hospital literally one of the best ones and all the politicians are taken there in emergency. (Yes, we are pretty small country.) We have many civil state owned hospitals as well and they are the best. The private hospitals are considered to be something you want to avoid when you are dealing with something serious. (Czech expresions vocabulary: state = the entire establishment meant more or less as common property of citizens, government = those cca 20 ministers + prime minister)
@@mari2na43 unfortunately the whole of the US medical system is absolutely screwed. It’s so disjointed and money-driven that it’s hard to really get anything treated, let alone diagnosed.
I use the VA because I have nothing else. I've gotten great care compared to active duty care
I worked at a VA and just like the civilian sector they're are good and bad doctors.
That was my favorite ad for Youn Beauty 😂🖤
That poor man. His condition looks so painful
I started to tear up when he said he has no pain. That’s incredible.
I have incurable chronic pain and I can’t imagine the sunshine that would come from moments without it. I’m so happy for him.
As a child, I had feet like this, but not that far up on my legs. The doctor told my mom to put on zinc cream, bread sacks, and socks over the bags. I wore them overnight for a week or so. It really helped and I've never had a problem with my feet since. Best thing!
My wife's legs and feet started to look like this in the years before she died. Doctors never diagnosed it, they were more concerned with her obesity, heart condition, recurring UTIs and other comorbid concerns.
Grant unto her, oh Lord, eternal rest. Let perpetual light shine upon her.
Brought me to tears when he said he’s now walking without his cane!
My friend's baby had eczema all over his body, the poor thing. She had to slather him in moisturizer and cover him in a wet onesie twice a day to help him be comfortable
I love Dr. Lee's empathy, and Dr. Youn spotlighting her excellent care.
That poor man, suffering through so much pain while walking when the solution literally was this simple. I hope he know knows how to treat his skin so he can live life without having that pain ever again.
I have ichtheosis and if not cared for daily, it can get really out of control.
Doctor Youn, as a veteran who is currently getting his healthcare from the VA I can say from personal experience the people there care more about numbers than our actual health. Im 43 years old and have been diagnosed with advanced degenerative arthritis in my hips. So much so that I am now on a cane and unable to continue my career in aviation maintenance. My doctor has told me I will not get a replacement from the VA till I am 60 or above because they dont want to do it twice. So till then I take a cocktail of different pain meds just to function.
My father was also in the military and did his service in Vietnam, he was a door gunner on Huey's. He was also responsible for loading and spraying Agent Orange. Later in life he developed Lung Cancer, as many Vietnam vets do, due to the chemicals in the Agent Orange. The VA had all my Dad's military medical and service papers and when he was diagnosed with the Lung Cancer, they didnt believe him that he was in Vietnam. So Dad brought his Company book from Vietnam that showed everyone in country had newspaper clipping of stories that he was specifically named in, in country and still they didnt believe. We had to find a man who served with my Father and further collaborate his story. He lost almost 2months of time and treatment trying to prove to the VA he was in country. Sadly he did pass on July 5th, 2017 but it is absolutely disgusting the care we get versus the care we were promised when we signed on that dotted line.
That is not all doctors at the VA and that is mainly administrators giving them rules on how long they can see a patient for. The VA is not all bad for all people. I have not had any complaints with the VA hospital or the VA clinic near me. Yes, there are certain things you do not really get from the VA but they do offer Care in the Community.
@@josephhodges9819 thats awesome Im glad you are getting the care you need and want from your local VA. Sadly this isnt the case for most veterans, myself and my Father included in that. Also, if I could afford care outside of the VA I would never step foot inside another but not all of us have that option. Glad you do and once again Im really happy you havent had any problems.
I’m sorry for your pain. As a bone-on-bone sufferer for 2 years, I can tell you the total hip replacement (anterior approach), *instantly* cures the pain in the bone as soon as surgery is over. They make you walk almost immediately, after anesthesia wears off. I was only a few years older than you when I got mine. I’m not a vet, but went through all the VA nonsense with my partner, who committed suicide. No help from VA for trauma for sure.
Back to hip-my surgeon said I got a newer model hardware, and it’s longevity was greater than the advertised 20 year span. Forgot the number, but it was more like 30, 40. Or something that would take me well to the end of life without revision. Plus they do it under local anesthesia in this approach.
My suggestion would be to go to one of the east coast or other orthopedic hospitals, especially those that teach, since they have financial assistance and other assistance for people who need the surgery. I don’t know if there’s anything for veterans but willing to bet there’s something. I suggest northeast or one of the high-cost states because those hospitals also have $$$ in donors with higher funding and easier to qualify for assistance. Just a thought. I know it’s not cheap to go outside the VA for care you deserve & were promised. And it’s disgusting that you should have to. I wish you the best of luck-hip pain and other joint pain is no joke.
I remember this episode! In the first visit, Dr. Lee taught him and his son how to take care of his skin. In the second visit, he was a changed man. You can see in his face briefly here how profoundly it affected him to not be in that kind of pain all the time anymore. Something so simple, but it changed his life. I got choked up seeing how much better he was.
This guy was my favorite patient showed in this program… he is so sweet and I just want him to be happy and okay he deserves the best he has such a sweet and genuine perspective on life
6:42 It makes me mad to hear "he doesn't know how to take care of his skin". Most people would never get to that point bc their skin would never do that!! It's not his fault, it's a condition. It can be treated, but this is not average skin care, this didn't happen bc he didn't take care of his skin. Most guys don't even mosturize and you don't see them walking around like that. His skin is different.
7:50 and I don't think it's "just" mosturizers, it's not that easy. I have extremely dry and flaky skin bc of my severe eczema, and it's not that easy to mosturize all the time. And even if you do it, your skin can keep acting up just because 😩 It's really hard to keep severe skin conditions under control! It sounds so easy when you say "just mosturize" 😭
Maybe I'm oversensitive with this topic bc I'm sick and tired of people believing that all my skin problems could be solved with mosturizer lol
I don’t think she meant it as “he doesn’t know how to take care of his normal skin” it was more of “he doesn’t know how how to take care of his skin with these symptoms”
It was obvious that his previous doctors failed him at giving him the proper education on how to improve his condition
I have hyperkeratosis (just nowhere near this extent) and the number of times I’ve been misdiagnosed with athlete’s foot is ridiculous. I was seeing a doctor for something completely unrelated and as I was leaving he handed me a prescription for my “athlete’s foot.” Refused to believe me when I told him it wasn’t athlete’s foot but a skin condition I’d had since childhood. I can absolutely believe that people kept writing him off as just not moisturizing or taking care of himself. (And what they didn’t mention in this video is that a lot of the treatments leave you with extremely raw, tender skin. Just sweating was painful)
I have Ichthyosis and I get SOOOOO tired of "you need to put on lotion", and I did a half hour before you made that statement. Now why didn't I think of that.
My little niece had severe excema all over her body. Thankfully through lotions and ointments, it's gone now.
@@mirandacoulter888 My parents were told it was an allergy to gluten. After the hospital said they had never seen my type of skin and performed a sweat test (putting electrodes on the skin and covering in plastic) in which I was burned at 6 months old when a electrode came off my arm. I'm 54 and you can still visibly see the scar.
I watched the episode in question, and that statement was in context with his condition, not a criticism of him. She was appalled that no one in all the doctors he'd seen had shown him how to keep his skin moisturized so it wouldn't be so painful.
I was very lucky to have found a good primary care doctor in the VA system. She's always listened and tried her best. However, I can't get the VA to truly acknowledge my POTS diagnosis from civilian doctors. I've been medicated for 7+ years - of course the tests aren't going to show anything. My neurologist can't accept my diagnosis and acts like I'm stupid, so I can't try any new meds to improve. None of us should have to make a choice between good healthcare and affordable healthcare.
Even private docs don't always recognize POTS or hypermobility from Ehlers Danlos or not. It's about their experiences and knowledge. They have little knowledge about the conditions and they don't recognize it in their patients.
I was diagnosed with hypermobility 2+ decades ago and my doctor is just now starting to understand it as he has a few patients who have it now. All of us diagnosed outside his office.
He is still treating my symptoms but he is also learning too. I find staying with him for as long as I have, has helped us both out. He knows my knowledge today and I understand his limits. He is doing things for chronic pain that he balked at 13yrs ago😅 much of which I took to him 1st! From medical mj to ketamine infusions!
The issue isn't only with VA docs 😢
@@axollot My very first cardiologist told me once he did the test that I'd see nothing is wrong and "stop having symptoms," as if I caused myself to have a resting heart rate of 120. My second civ doctor was soooo good to me. But I couldn't afford the meds he wanted to try for me. With insurance, it was like 60+ a month. So, I switched to the VA. My primary care dr is very good and she understands my pots but she can't prescribe anything but my old meds (midodrine and metoprolol). And the cardiologist there can't prescribe the new meds I was going to try. It has to be neurology. And that guy just could not seem to accept I had POTS. Even though I had 7 years of documentation. He was like that doesn't sound like pots because of CURRENT symptoms while on meds lol. Then he tried telling me my bc pills were blocking my midodrine and that I should have felt better during the year I was off of it, even though I clearly didn't because that was the year I joined the VA system lol. And he told me that the widespread numbness I'd feel on my head, in my mouth, on my chest, and on my shoulders after using new products was the same as sweating because of spices and was no big deal...when it would go on for weeks until I'd stop using the product...he's just honestly such an awful person. That and the person who did my tilt table test for the VA but in a civilian hospital. She is a POTS expert and told me I just have deconditioning pots...because I'm fat now. I was both active and thin when I first got diagnosed. I literally got diagnosed while I was in the military. And no attempt to figure out any cause. just basically a "you'd feel better if you exercised."
Sorry for the rant lol but I know this is a big frustration point for a lot of people and I'm sure it helps when others know they're not alone.
@neko_nixxy oh, I know that tango regarding docs and I don't have a VA doc! Mine is dueling rheumatologists, one saw my blood inflammation was very high and treated me for it, the other one (because of my insurance) only seeing the results of my inflammation under control and thinks I don't really need a rheumatologist 😬😬 it's a back n forth. My neurologist sucks too. Lol.
Im grateful for my primary care physician because he is a pain specialist on top of being a primary, which helps reduce more bs opinions on meds. Currently managed and I'm a firm, if she's not broke don't try to fix it! If I'm managing pain, anxiety and subluxations of my joints ok, please don't pull the rug out from underneath me by changing the meds schedule!
It's frustrating af as you know. We need more specialist primaries too. Because this fragmented health care is not efficient or effective and it is a lot more expensive too!
Dr. Lee is so kind, reassuring, and comforting.
As a veteran that deals with the VA alot, I'm going to say that they suck. They just want to check boxes and send you on your way. It took me more than a decade to get back surgery. I lost almost everything that I had worked for because I couldn't physically work. Once I got the surgery, I went back to work, and I am still rebuilding what I had lost. The mental struggles of all of the loss is still there, and I have good and bad days.
Wow, Doctor Tony, I’m very impressed by your pragmatic attitude and your deep understanding of these challenges.
I saw this often while working in nursing homes. Those residents were monitored closely and did get moisturizer cream appropriate for their condition, their circulation checked, and if possible lymphedema treatment in addition to podiatry care for toe nail fungus. But, certainly people residing at home not always get the care they need or a timely referral to a specialist. VA system usually are teaching hospitals with archaic red tape. Too sad.
Dr Youn- you are so wonderful- so sweet when describing these issues ❤
Vets deserve better. Poor guy, genuinely got tears in my eyes when he got some relief
I came back to edit mine started after i got back from deployment for Dessert shield and dessert storm. That exact thing happens to my feet. Not as bad as his mine is limited to the bottom and sides of my feet. I have some on my fingers but not much. I truly feel for this poor man.
My dad served in Desert Storm as well. He has problems with the skin on his legs and feet as well. What in the world did they do to yall over there?!
Interesting… I wonder if it has something to do with the lack of moisture and heat over there?
I NEEEDDD more Dr Youn reactions to Sandra Lee!!
I saw this episode of Dr pimple popper and it just broke my heart 😥😥 when she revealed his foot at the end and he started crying telling her he could now walk without his cane or walker I just bawled for him!! I'm so.glad she was able to finally give h the help he so deserved and needed!! 😊😊
Most of seniors are like this... it's so sad 😢 I'm a caregiver and if you add lotion it itchi even more😢
Doc you’re amazing!!! You make me laugh and I NEED that right now!! Thank you so much!! Omg this poor man!! He served our country too!! How in the heck is this man still in pain for goodness sake’s!!??
I had a grade 5 teacher with Harlequin Ichthyosis and she was always covered in vasoline. Her name was Mrs. McCaig(sp). I sometimes wondered if she was still around, but I now know she couldn't be. She would have been well into her 80's now.
Aw! I'm happy for sir. Thank you for your service.
Cool video. Gross situation explained. (Kudos on that shadow guy in the ad part)
I've seen some patients with similar presentations, but not quite as severe. Wet dressings and moisturising creams worked wonders for them, and happily, for this gentleman too. (I'm a nurse. I've worked in burns and derm units)
I like these reaction videos, because we are getting an actual doctor's opinion of the situation as we are watching it. To me that adds a lot to the original video.
I feel vicarious relief for the vet. When my skin is even mildly flaky it feels so itchy it's maddening. I can't even imagine how awful it'd be to have layers. That has to make mobility a struggle. So glad he got proper treatment!
I just loved how your ad was introduced 😂
This was very interesting. Thank you.
Great video! The Sleuth ad was hilarious 😂
This is the best video i seen so far, heartwarming❤
Loved the ad skit!
Awesome 👏 and all doctors should know this
Love, love your Youn skin advertisement!!! 💥🔥💥
I love you Dr. Your ❤ you’re such a good person!
I think i have a mild version of something similar.
I can peel 0.5-1cm wide areas of the top layer of my skin off my palms/fingers at certain times of the year (a bit like the peeling from sunburn, but the layer is thicker) Plus i have to take sissors to shave off 1mm thick sections of skin from the outside of my big toes.
But wow that is so minor compared to this case :O
I've taken care of elderly patients like this. I was a wound care nurse.. I will bet u he also has diabetes. And as he's gotten older he probably did take care of his skin as good as he should.
Ha! Love the Youn Beauty plug! Great ad! 🎉😂
Mine does the same on the left leg from the knee down. It resulted for getting frostbite and gang green in the military. The shin comes off in thicker sheets of skin. Also a blockage in the lymphatic system.
Love the youn beauty ad
😊
.bg😊😂😂😂
My husband is looked after so well by the VA. He has had skin biopsy done, skin cancer treatments anything he needs he gets.
Two of my favourite people ❤
Dr Pimple Popper has a very congenial manner about her and immediately makes patients comfortable and confident and her expressions are always empathetic. Even if something shocks her, she doesn’t show it.
Love these stories
I just wait to do my MSC (Masters) in Dermatology and treat patients like this and see results. It's the best feeling EVER🙌🏾
?
It's horrible that it's so common that something so simple could make a world of a difference but all of your medical professionals couldn't be bothered to tell you. I watched one of your videos about probiotics and bloating it's frustrating that all those years of suffering could've been avoided if someone just had me try them
I am STUNNED the doctors at the VA didn't know he had ichthyosis!! I'm not even a doctor and I knew that he had some type of keratin disorder, most likely ichthyosis. Full disclosure, I was educated and trained as a microbiologist and have studied medicine. But I am not a physician. It makes me very sad the VA failed this veteran but grateful he got to see Dr. Lee.
1st time I live in a country which has winter season, I also almost bath myself in body lotion every day 😂 but as year passed my skin finally get used to it. It still get dry but at least my budget not drained on body lotion anymore
Is that Johan van der Smut?
I love GOOOOOOOLD!
I used to get dry skin on my feet so bad I'd get skin splits. They didn't bleed, but they were painful. I ended up doing a before bed moisturizing routine of lotioning with a with a good quality ultra healing moisturizer, wrapping my feet in saran wrap, then putting some socks on over it. By morning, my feet were super soft and not dry at all. Granted, it feels gooshy to walk on while all wrapped up so I'd have to step carefully if I got up for the bathroom, but since doing it when my feet start to get itchy dry I haven't had a skin split since.
When he peeled the skin off his foot, it reminded me of Goldmember from Austin Powers.
Sad the VA has a known history of not providing good care to our vets.
And worse, when it is the only care our vets can afford at times!
That was an excellent A Knight's Tale reference. One of my favs. 😊
When luis said he could walk without his cane.. I dropped a tear😢
So wonderful. ❤
I have a variant of ichthyosis and I find glycerin and cerave lotion applied to damp skin works best for me. Vaseline makes my legs itch.
so nice that it's not a fungal disorder or anything. I had a skin condition that started with red dots on my arms, hands and feet, and they started to connect and then became like alligator skin. but it completely resolved itself because it was stress related. I have a tendency to get skin reactions to stress.
This is heartbreaking 💔 😢
I feel terrible for him.
"Forbidden Potato Chip" I almost snorted my seltzer... Dr. Yuan says some of the funniest things, completely offhandedly.
The "forbidden potato chip" thing made me GAG!
Kinda unrelated but I got a foot “peel” from target (like face masks but for feet) and a week after I used it my foot was peeling off sheets of skin. It was so nice feeling and my skin was clean and soft and smooth underneath.
Also found out conditioner helps alot. Yes regular conditioner u put on your head for your hair.
Poor guy, I'm so glad he's doing better now.
Omg poor poor man , heartbreaking.
And Superior, WI adjoins Duluth, MN at the crook of Lake Superior. Therefore it’s cold and dry about 7 months out of the year.
We had a couple of residents at a rehab facility where I worked and the residents had this skin condition and we were told they had a form of psoriasis. We used Vaseline petroleum jelly on it, it helped, but the vaseline has to be reapplied every night without stop.
The VA gets doctors that are not good enought to have thier own practice. They know they are are the "c's and d's get degrees" crowd but still want the security of a "regular" paycheck. I have had bad treatment at the VA Hospitals.
Bless him❤️🙏
Aww…poor guy! Thank God for Dr Sandra!
definitely seen this and more than once.
I watched a show a long time ago about a child who had a similar skin condition and the parents found the only way they could bring comfort to their child was literally oil bath soaking to help remove the dry skin and help moisturizer the skin between treatments.
My first long-term job after college was in an outpatient hospital clinic. We had a patient with ichthyosis. I felt so badly for them.
Both of my parents' feet and legs looked like that before they passed; the scaliness and the nails.
@DoctorYoun I know someone who served in Dessert Storm, who has very similar issues. I believe it is/was caused by exposure to something while deployed in Dessert Storm.
Anyone got the over-under on the number of people who are going to do the whole "well ACTUALLY, Icthyosaurs aren't actually dinosaurs." Lecture?
I have the same issue with my legs from the knee down, on my forehead and nose. It is most common with diabetics. My doctor has me clean my feet and legs with warm water and then pat dry. them put coconut oil all over the areas and then put my competition socks on.. do it every other day and my legs are smooth and look normal again. i also wash my face and put coconut oil on it as well.
I saw this episode on Dr. Pimple Popper.
Comic books were part of my childhood because of my brothers. One paid his college tuition selling his collection that included first edition Spiderman, First Edition Superman, etc. I loved the Xmen!
Some of my mom's skin does it. She has Bullous pemphigoid, which blisters her whole body painfully. When they resolve, they can do this 😢
The best thing that ever helped my feet have been foot soaks in blue mouthwash, baking soda and peroxide. Followed by a wax soaking and lastly, Cerave SA moisturizer cream covered by socks.
I have received nothing but great care at the VA except for dermatology and the latest OB.
Arnica Montana cream did a great job for me.
I have seen this many times over the years ...plaques like this respond to soaking and moisturizing. Applying antibiotic cream and topical steroids help in the most severe areas. Old fashioned crisco in the can helps tremendously, back in the day day we used to use lard🤷🏼 but it helps. I'm sure there are more advances through the years but if he wants immediate relief, soaking in a nice warm bath with oils helps and rubbing in Crisco and then wrapping with ace wraps or cotton socks helps...good luck ole fella🙏🏾
i had eczema for my whole life, then it got really severe and began to cover my whole back continued to my ribs and from my neck to my chest area..... i cured it with moisturizer. it was a life changer.
