Dermatologist Dr David Reid joins Ask Dr Jessica to talk about common skin conditions that are chronic (stay around for a long time), like dandruff, Keratosis Pilaris and Moles. Dr Reid explains the best treatment options for dandruff--like using selenium sulfide, Ketaconazole, or zinc pyrithione (or a combination thereof). He also gives tips on how to treat keratosis pilaris -- a common, harmless skin condition that causes dry, tiny bumps found often on the upper arms, thighs and cheeks. And lastly, we talk about moles! He gives a great overview on what moles are, and signs when to see a dermatologist.

Dr David Reid is currently the Chief of Dermatology at Rush Medical Center in Chicago. He completed his medical school degree at Harvard Medical School and his dermatology residency at Northwestern University. He has been well published and has lectured internationally.
