Great Skin for Every Age
Skin can be a mystery for most people. At different ages, our skin tends to act up and it can be hard to know when to seek medical advice. We want to help you with this decision. Below is a list of common conditions for every age. If you have a rash or irritation that simply will not go away or progressively gets worse, call us immediately or click on the "Appointments" link.
Our skin is the first line of defense against the world around us. Babies, as they are exposed to new things every day, are more likely to react to the environment. Most conditions babies get are easily treatable, but when conditions persist causing Baby (and parents) added distress you should come in to our office. Below are some common baby skin conditions.
Diaper Rash
Diapers provide a warm, moist area with lots of friction making diaper rash an inevitable part of every baby's life.
Here's what to do:
- Use diaper rash creams. Creams with a higher amount of zinc are best. Thicker creams are better. Creams that are too watery or runny can actually make diaper rash worse. We recommend Buodreaux's Butt Paste ®.
- Instead of using baby wipes, use warm wash cloths and pat Baby's tender area clean. If you do use wipes, make sure they are hypoallergenic and unscented. After cleaning the entire area, go back and pat down with a clean, wet cloth.
- Use unscented cornstarch baby powder on clean dry skin. This can help reduce friction on Baby's bottom. Avoid anything with artificial scents in it. This tends to cause more harm than good.
- Sometimes it is good to let baby air dry. Letting your baby have a few minutes without a diaper on after every change will help keep his or her little bottom.
When is it time to call the doctor?
When a diaper rash persists or gets worse, you should call your doctor. Diaper rash should start looking better within a few hours and should go away within a few days. If you notice any bleeding or obvious chaffing, call to make an appointment with your healthcare provider.
Cradle Cap
Cradle cap is the common term for infantile seborrheic dermatitis. It may seem scary, but cradle cap isn't serious; although it can cause thick crusting and white or yellow scales.
Here's what to do:
- Keep Baby's head clean. Washing will help remove the excess dermatitis on his or her head. We recommend a gentle cleansing shampoo like Johnson & Johnson for babies.
- Keep the area moisturized. Special, unscented baby lotions or baby oil are safe to use.
- You can gently remove the scaling or flaking with a fingernail or a soft brush. If you find a scab, or something doesn't easily come off, leave it to heal naturally. You don't want to break Baby's skin if you can help it.
When is it time to call the doctor?
If baby's skin continues to flake or scale, becomes thicker, or begins bleeding you should see a specialist.
Infant Eczema & Baby Acne
Baby eczema can look a little scary—especially when red, crusty patches appear in Baby's first few months—but it is a common treatable condition. Eczema presents in about 10%-15% of babies. It can often look like cradle cap, but it isn't limited to Baby's head. Most kids grow out of eczema before they are school age, but they may have dry skin. Triggers for baby eczema include dry skin, irritants (like perfumes in wipes, laundry, or soap), stress, heat or sweat, and allergens.
Here's what to do:
- Invest in a good moisturizer. Companies like Aveeno® make eczema specific lotions for babies. Use the lotion immediately after every bath.
- Give baby a warm bath—not too hot and not too cold. Hot water can draw moisture out of the skin. Bath products like oatmeal baths have been shown to help in some cases, although they have never been clinically proven.
- Keep baths under 10 minutes.
- Pat your baby's skin dry instead of rubbing
- Use cotton clothing that breathes well and avoid too many blankets.
- Keep fingernails trimmed often so Baby can't injure the skin. You can also get scratch mittens.
When is it time to call the doctor?
When simple treatment doesn't help, there are prescriptions medications that can. If Baby's rash is not going away or continues to get worse, you should see the doctor. We see babies in both offices and are happy to help.
The Teen Years
Teenagers have notoriously bad skin. This is because hormone changes during puberty change skin. Acne is the most common condition associated with adolescents, but there are other conditions to keep an eye out for.
It is not uncommon for teenagers to develop rashes. As the skin changes from child skin to adult skin, there is bound to be some stretching and rubbing.
Here's what to do:
- Keep it clean! Shower with a gentle soap and do not turn the shower too hot. Hot water strips the body of its natural oils that keep it moisturized. Pat down to dry with a clean towel every night. We recommend Dove for Sensitive Skin ®.
- Let it breath. Rashes love hot, humid places so make a point to let the area breathe. The best time to do this is night time. Sleeping in minimal blankets and cotton clothing will help. Allowing yourself to get too hot and sweaty will make it worse.
- Cortisone can help with the rash. There are a number of over-the-counter cortisone medications availble that can help. If regular cortisone doesn't help, try one with anti-fungal like Lotramine ®.
When is it time to call the doctor?
When it doesn't get better. Teens get rashes often and they typically clear up. When it begins spreading, gets worse, or doesn't get better it is time to call us. There are many conditions that can cause rashes—most of them are easily treatable—but they need to be looked at by a specialist.
Body Odor
Body odor is not uncommon In teens, it is usally the result of changing hormones. In the teen years, the body produces a lot of sweat and if proper hygiene isn't maintained, body odors can occur.
Here's what to do:
- Keeping the underarm and groin areas clean is essential.
- There are prescription strength antiperspirants that can help if strong over-the-counter deodorants don't do the trick.
- Reapply deodorant throughout the day. Most wear off in a few hours.
When is it time to call the doctor?
Sweating is an embarrassing problem, but not a critical one. There are some medications that can help with hyperhidrosis—excessive sweating—and treatments like miraDry that can stop or reduce sweat, because this is considered a cosmetic problem, many are not covered by insurance. That is why we accept CareCredit®.
Mole Changes
Many teenagers like tanning and aren't always aware of the future consequences. Tanning beds are dangerous and can cause mole changes. Moles change with the body as we grow and hormones take their effect, but you should always have them checked. You can click here to learn what to look for.

Early Birthday Surprise: Toy Story 3 On Ice Tickets
The boys received a early birthday surprise this weekend from their Aunt Kristy and Uncle Ryan: Tickets to Toy Story 3 on Ice! I can remember going to Disney on Ice when I was their age as one of my first memories. They LOVED it and hopefully they'll remember it for years to come!
Hardly ever a perfect family picture, but worth trying! =) They were so excited to have their own tickets and thought they could use them to watch another show the next day! (I wish, Buddies!)
We waited eagerly for the show to begin!
It was so fun watching the boys cheer as each of their favorite characters skated out for their introduction. Clark loves Rex and Buzz the most, Isaac loves Woody and Ham, Brooks loves Jessie and Buzz, and Henry loves Bullseye and Buzz.
Disney put on a great show, just as you would expect from Disney. Great costumes, acting, music, talent, and all round fun family entertainment!
Loved taking this in with a boy (or two) on my lap! Seeing it through their eyes is THE BEST!
Henry provided some comic relief during intermission.
THANK YOU, Aunt Kristy and Uncle Ryan, for making this birthday so special already! The boys have been practicing their ice skating (on the carpet) and acting it out ever since! Thank you for loving on our boys!
"We are eternally grateful." – The Toy Aliens

Strong colors on the walls or wild wallpaper make it hard for Buyers to imagine their furniture in your house. Consider repainting your home in bright, neutral colors that will enhance a room's size and look more inviting. Next to cleaning your home, paint is the most cost-effective way to increase your home's appeal. ( I can personally vouch for this, I repainted my space and it totally gave it a great new look!).
Add some touches, You do not need to spend a fortune to make a big difference. Replace tattered old curtains with some fresh draperies. Mirrors on the wall help rooms feel more spacious. New house plants add undeniable appeal.
Trim the trees, weed the garden, plant some flowers.
You need to consider two things before making any improvements,
1. Will this make my home more desirable to Buyers?
2. Will this increase the value of my home more than it costs me to do it?

A recent decision of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia1 has shed light on a contentious section of the Fair Work Act, in considering when an employee will be protected against adverse action taken because they have made a "complaint or inquiry" in relation to their employment.
The "adverse action" general protection provisions of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) (FW Act) have been in operation for four and a half years, but the meaning of key sections of these provisions remains unclear.
In this particular case, the Federal Circuit Court considered some of the conflicting judicial consideration about these sections and shed light on their interpretation.
Trilab Pty Ltd is a company involved in the business of soil and rock classification testing. Hayden Evans, was employed by Trilab as State Manager - Engineering (Perth) for three weeks in August 2013.
As part of his employment, Mr Evans was required to perform soil testing in accordance with the relevant Australian Standard. He asked the laboratory manager why Trilab was not conducting testing in line with the Standard, in the belief that Trilab should be using "wet- testing" instead of "dry-testing". Mr Evans said that he was shortly afterwards dismissed for "asking questions about test methods".
Mr Evans brought an adverse action claim, asserting that his internal questioning about the test methods constituted a complaint or inquiry in relation to his employment for the purposes of the FW Act and that he was therefore protected from adverse action by his employer.
Trilab sought summary dismissal of Mr Evans' claim on the basis that it had no reasonable prospect of success. In support of this, Trilab argued that in order to make a relevant complaint or inquiry under the FW Act, Mr Evans must have had some authority or right to make a complaint either under statute or another instrument, such as an enterprise agreement or contract. Trilab further argued that Mr Evans was dismissed for performance reasons.
Judge Lucev examined the divergent judicial decisions on whether a complaint or inquiry requires a "source of entitlement"(such as statute, an agreement or contract) before it can obtain the protection of the FW Act, in order to determine whether the claim should be summarily dismissed.
His Honour found that it was clear that a complaint or inquiry:
- need "not arise from a statutory, regulatory or contractual provision before it can be a complaint or inquiry in relation to a person's employment"; and
- need only have an "indirect nexus with a person's terms or conditions of employment" to come within the scope of the FW Act and "may be a complaint about the conduct of another person in the workplace or about a workplace process which concerns or has implications for an employee's employment".
Mr Evans' question about testing was therefore arguably capable of being characterised as a complaint or inquiry in relation to his employment. Judge Lucev refused to summarily dismiss the claim and said it was "obviously appropriate" that the matter go to a hearing.
The hearing is yet to take place.
Bottom line for employers
If it is necessary to dismiss an employee for poor performance, take care to ensure that no connection can be drawn between the real, performance-related reasons for the dismissal, and any complaint or inquiry made by the employee in relation to his or her employment.
Employers must be able to clearly articulate the performance-related reasons for the dismissal and clearly demonstrate that the complaint or inquiry was not in any way related to the dismissal. Ensure that any complaint or inquiry - even a seemingly innocuous complaint or inquiry - is not connected in the mind of the decision-maker in any way with the real reasons for the dismissal.

I was deboning some canned salmon for salmon salad sandwiches...and found a bunch of little white round balls in the flesh of the salmon. They are about the size of the round head of a seamstresses pin (you know, the kind with the balls on the end). They are soft and fall apart when pushed. Are they just fat, I wonder?
Anyone ever experience this?

Only in surface area is smaller on Lake Ontario. Its surface area is 7,320 square miles, but because it so much deeper, its volume is 393.5 cubic miles (1,640 km³).
Erie, on the other hand does indeed have a larger surface area of 9,940 sq miles (25,744 km²), but because it is much shallower, its volume is far less than half of Ontario, at 115.2 cubic miles (480 km³).
I believe that is why Erie is always listed as the smallest Great Lake.

W. Gate City Blvd. (Greensboro)
In addition to serving what our guests have expressed is the most delicious Southern food around, our Biscuitville FRESH SOUTHERN® restaurant is fortunate to have received visits from several celebrities. This location is just down the road from the Greensboro Coliseum Complex which host music and sporting events.
The iconic band "War" graced our presence at Biscuitville #132. They were so gracious, Marcus Reyes (percussion) and Poncho (bass) invited our entire crew out for an unforgettable night. We had so much fun.
As a favorite eating spot for Greensboro's own "American Idol" Chris Daughtry, we have also served Kid Rock, Michael Jordan and US figure skater Danielle Kahle! During Danielle's visit, our team not only served her one of our signature, scratch-made biscuits but was also able to supply her with hairspray as she had lost her own. Later, both Biscuitville and our store operator, Crawford Morgan, received a shout out from Danielle on national television. Thanks to Danielle for being such an inspiration!
