Things I would tell you as a dermatologist if I wasn't afraid of hurting your feelings
• If your legs are swollen, compression socks aren't a suggestion, they're a necessity
• Deodorants won't control body odor if they're not killing bacteria or stopping sweating. They're just masking it
• You can't train your hair to do anything. It's not a pet
• If you're only treating your acne with spot creams, you're not treating your acne
• Minoxidil 5% foam on the ends of your eyebrows - thank me later
