Taking Control of Your Care

Learning about your condition or that of a loved one can be a daunting and confusing task in this world of information overload, financially-motivated claims and contradictory statements. Because Dr. Wiley feels that many need an independent source of critically edited information about skin problems, this educational section endeavors to fill that gap. Each topic is written by Dr. Wiley. Many topics contain web sites/links that can help you become an educated advocate for your own health and well-being. To further assist and guide you, Dr. Wiley also shares some of his own thoughts about the strength and occasional weaknesses of those sites.

“When images like these flowers catch my eye…I ask: what is trying to be revealed to me? When something jumps out at me, I want to understand why. In dermatology, diagnosis often begins with something that stands out and begs the question of "what does this mean?”

- Henry E. Wiley, III, M.D.
