Itchy, Aging Skin is Everywhere... Let's Do Something About It! | Daniel C. Butler, MD

Episode 043 | Today's episode is all about helping people, particularly in the geriatric population, who suffer from itchy skin. Tune in to learn about a secret OTC weapon you may not be aware of yet that Dr. Butler and I often recommend to our patients. There's no better time to discuss this than in the dead of winter in central Wisconsin where the dreaded winter itch is currently raging.My guest -- who is staying warm and hopefully not very itchy in Arizona -- is the delightful Dr. Daniel C. Butler. I can't imagine a better person for this discussion. Dr. Butler is the assistant dean of student affairs and an associate professor at the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Tucson. He directs the University of Arizona’s Inflammatory and Aging Skin Research Program. Dr. Butler's research interests focus on the presentation and treatment of skin disease in older adults. He founded and leads international clinical and research groups evaluating best practices in this population. He has active clinical trials focusing on pruritus and atopic dermatitis in older adults. Dr. Butler graduated from the University of Arizona College of Medicine and completed his dermatology residency at Harvard Medical School.  He continues to mentor students and trainees all over the country who are interested in skin diseases of the oldest generation.I'd like to extend a huge thanks to the Dermeleve Cream and Scalp Serum team at Advanced Derm Solutions, LLC for their generous support of this episode, for connecting me with Dr. Butler, and for their dedication to helping itchy people!If you're a healthcare provider and would like samples, simply use the Dermeleve sample request form.Click here (this is an affiliate link) to learn more about and/or purchase Dermeleve products.More from Dr. Lewellis and Above & Beyond DermatologyNeed a dermatologist?
