With the rise of skincare routines showcased on social media, dermatologist Dr. Bonnie Hodge emphasizes the critical role of sunscreen, especially in neglected areas like the nose and lips. Acknowledging that perfect application is unrealistic, she encourages individuals to focus on high-risk areas that are harder to repair. By using humor and relatable language, Hodge targets those who may not consistently apply sunscreen, aiming to motivate better sun protection habits to avoid skin cancer.
"I've been practicing long enough to know when I tell a patient that you practice near-perfect sun protection is not going to happen, so this message is for people who are kind of good at putting sun screen on, but kind of not."
"How are you going to sew that up? It's rare that nose surgeons are able to do what's called a primary closure, meaning you just sew the two sides together."
