Ep 38: Managing Your Skin with Dr. Helia Eragi | The Health Exchange Podcast

Episode 38 of The Health Exchange Podcast takes a deep dive into how skin disease sits at the crossroads of medicine, identity, and daily life. Dr. Rutland and Dr. Helia Eragi, Dermatologist, discuss the common conditions patients bring to clinic—from eczema and acne to psoriasis and rosacea—and explain why the right care often requires looking beyond symptoms to triggers and mental health. Rather than treating skin issues as purely cosmetic, the conversation walks through how clinicians decide between topical therapies, systemic medications and newer biologics, how to separate hype from evidence in the crowded skincare marketplace, and practical steps patients can use now to manage flares and prevent complications. The episode also addresses barriers to care, the importance of clear doctor–patient communication, and how thoughtful, individualized treatment can restore both skin and confidence.
