The dermis and epidermis layers of the skin play pertinent roles in scar formation and work to facilitate a natural, biologic process of wound repair.

July 28, 2022Tyler Szelinski

Changes in skin can fluctuate frequently during the course of a lifetime and it can often be difficult to know when they are serious enough to see a skincare specialist.

Oftentimes, when you notice mild irritation or changes in the skin, it will go away on its own or with the help of over-the-counter (OTC) medications. In other cases, if you notice abnormal changes that seem to persist, it may be a good idea to get them checked out by a skincare specialist.
