#269: Pediatric Skin Rashes From a Dermatologists Perspective with Dr. Gigler with ASR

Dr. Elana interviews board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Gigler - who happens to be the identical twin sister of Dr. Gillin who is a pediatrician she interviewed a couple of seasons back. Both of these sister doctors LOVE our podcast partner Active Skin Repair so we invited them on our show to share with us Doctor Moms how they use their products with their patients and what type of success they see day to day! During their interview, Dr. Gigler talks about more than just Active… they focus on how she treats common pediatric skin conditions like Molluscum Contagiousm, Fungal infections like Ringworm and Tinea, Acne, Warts, Keratosis Pilaris, and more!  As Doctor Moms it is so important we know when it is time to visit the doctor and when we can safely help our kiddo from home! So this interview is a great overview of skin conditions where a doctor visit is helpful and knowing what to expect will help you feel confident and prepared! You will also learn that there are many skin conditions that ARE safe for us Doctor Moms to help at home and often times Active Skin Repair products can be your go-to non toxic skin formulas for times like these - think cuts, scrapes, sunburns, bites, even eczema or Hand Foot Mouth lesions!!  We absolutely love our friends over at Active and are grateful that they are offering our listeners 20% off all orders using code DOCTORMOM.  Steph and Dr. Elana don’t leave the house without a spray bottle in our car, one in our purse, and definitely one in our medicine cabinets!
