I started my work experience at around 8 am in the morning at Southern Dermatology and we right off the bat looked at some of the different cases of the day. It was really interesting to see the multitude of skin diseases that many people had and the solutions Dr. Boyse had to solve the diagnosis. For instance, many of the patients were on Accutane to fix their acne or required injections in the hair to help with Alopecia. Dr. Boyse showed me an image explaining how acutane works to shrink oil glands and reduce acne. Some of the patients were also interested in Botox procedures and it was really cool to see the immediate effects of the injections. The techs were really cool to talk to in between appointments and I am super excited to work with Dr. Boyse again later this week! Below is a picture of the effects on oil glands that Dr. Boyse described following accutane treatments.
