In this episode, Dr. Mina shares her expertise in procedural dermatology and Mohs surgery, focusing on skin cancer prevention and treatment. She discusses the importance of daily sun protection, including the use of sunscreen and sun-protective clothing, to prevent skin damage and cancer. Dr. Mina also addresses common skin care myths, such as the misconception that sunscreen causes cancer, and emphasizes the need for holistic health practices, including proper diet, exercise, and stress management, for maintaining healthy skin. Additionally, she highlights the significance of early and regular skin examinations, especially for those with a history of skin cancer or extensive sun exposure. Dr. Mina also mentions her podcast, "The Skin Real," which aims to provide reliable skin care information amidst the overwhelming and often misleading advice available online.
