This monthly email shares updates about the many happenings at Pima Dermatology. The "SKINny" is the “scoop”, the “dish”, the “lowdown”. Since we're a dermatology practice, we’re all about skin! We’re also all about keeping our patients well-informed! This is good stuff -- and if you're in, read on!

At Pima Dermatology, we believe exceptional healthcare begins with respect, compassion, and inclusivity.

During Pride Month, we proudly celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and reaffirm our commitment to providing a welcoming environment where every patient feels seen, valued, and cared for.

Dermatologic health is personal, and every individual deserves access to expert care that honors their unique needs and experiences. Whether visiting us for medical, surgical, cosmetic, or laser dermatology services, patients can expect thoughtful, individualized treatment delivered with dignity and respect.

Our team is dedicated to fostering an inclusive atmosphere where diversity is celebrated, questions are welcomed, and patients feel comfortable being themselves.

Happy Pride Month from all of us at Pima Dermatology!

June marks Men's Health Awareness month, highlighting preventable diseases while encouraging early detection and routine medical check-ups.

Skin cancers, when detected early, are highly treatable. Routine in-office skin checks and at-home self-examinations are highly recommended as skin cancer is usually visible on the surface of skin.

If you see any spots that are different from others, are changing, itching or bleeding, make an appointment to see one of our board-certified Medical Providers to get professionally evaluated.

Never had a full-body skin check before? Not to worry. We will walk you through the steps and make it a relaxed, pleasant experience. Please call us to schedule with us today at 520.795.7729.

The entire month of June is known as "Acne Awareness Month".

Acne is a medical condition that effects 50 million Americans annually. Acne is widely considered the #1 skin concern across the globe and effects people of all ages and genders.

Acne is a complex skin condition influenced by several factors that include:

• Genetics
• Excess oil production
• Clogged pores (from dead skin cells)
• Bacteria
• Hormonal fluctuations

These elements can lead to blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, and sometimes painful cystic lesions.

At Pima Dermatology, we tailor acne treatments to your individual needs. Our Medical and Cosmetic Providers may recommend:



• Topical treatments (retinoids, antibiotics, benzoyl peroxide)
• Oral medications (antibiotics, hormonal therapy, isotretinoin)
• In-office procedures (extractions, chemical peels, laser therapy)

We also offer hand-selected skincare products that support your treatment plan. A simple regimen of cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen can go a long way when paired with our professional care!

Whether you're dealing with occasional breakouts or more persistent, painful acne, our experienced team is here to guide you with compassion and expetise!

TELEDERM (Virtual Appointments) for Acne concerns are available now in addition to our in-person office visits! Contact us at 520.795.7729 to schedule your appointment today!

This Father's Day, June 21st, we honor all the fathers, grandfathers, and father figures who make a difference every day through their strength, guidance, love, and unwavering support.

Be sure to remind Dad to care for his skin. Men are often at greater risk for skin cancer and may be less likely to schedule routine skin examinations, making regular skin checks and sun protection especially important.

As we celebrate the men and father figures who care for others, we encourage them to take a few moments to care for themselves as well.

Simple habits like wearing sunscreen daily, monitoring changes in skin, and scheduling annual skin exams can help protect his health for years to come.

From all of us at Pima Dermatology, have a safe, healthy, and relaxing Father's Day (and don't forget your sunscreen)!
