Some months ago I went to the dermatologist because of a skin issue I had from a while ago. It ended up being dermatitis and now I have to limit myself from some things such as alcohol, stress, spicy food and use baby soap. You know, it is harmless, and as long as I take care of myself I look great.

But this got me thinking…. I let pass a lot of time before actually asking an specialist. First I thought it was a dry skin problem, and I tried oatmeal based creams, classic moisturizers and other stuff. The reasoning behind this is that I could find a cure for myself. In the meantime I kept drinking alcohol, stressing myself, and eating spicy food. It never ocurred to me that it had something to do with it.

We men tend to be like this. We think we know the answers to a lot of stuff, but in reality we don’t, and this could be risky, specially when dealing with health issues. Now I think it is better to FIRST take it to the doctor. If I had followed this advice, I would have saved money, time and frustrations. Who knows? At the end I could have even worsen my condition. So, if you notice something strange ot your skin, what better place to go than to a specialist? You will clear doubts and know what to do. Good luck!
