How can you prevent yeast infections? What actually causes vaginal yeast infections, and are there things you can do to reduce your risk? In this video, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Dray explains how to prevent yeast infections, what can increase the risk of vaginal yeast infections, and which commonly recommended prevention strategies may not have much evidence behind them.

Dr. Dray discusses vulvovaginal candidiasis, including common yeast infection symptoms such as vaginal itching, burning, irritation, redness, swelling, and thick white discharge. She also explains why these symptoms are not specific to yeast infections and can overlap with conditions such as bacterial vaginosis, urinary tract infections, sexually transmitted infections, and irritant or allergic reactions.

The video covers practical ways to lower the risk of yeast infections, including avoiding douching and unnecessary vaginal products, avoiding scented products, keeping the vulvar area dry, changing out of sweaty clothing, choosing breathable clothing, and understanding how antibiotics, diabetes, blood sugar, pregnancy, and hormones can influence yeast infection risk.

Dr. Dray also addresses common yeast infection myths, including whether sugar causes yeast infections, whether you need a restrictive Candida diet, and whether probiotics or yogurt can prevent vaginal yeast infections.

Most importantly, this video explains when recurrent yeast infection symptoms should be evaluated by a healthcare professional, rather than repeatedly treating symptoms with over-the-counter antifungal medication.

Hyperpigmentation is not always simply a dark mark left behind after inflammation. In this video, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Dray explains why post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) may sometimes coexist with ongoing inflammation, even when the skin appears clear on the surface.

This is particularly important for people with darker skin tones, where inflammation and erythema may be less visually obvious. Dr. Dray explains how persistent inflammation from acne, eczema, contact dermatitis, rosacea, and other inflammatory skin conditions can contribute to stubborn hyperpigmentation and why treating the underlying condition is an important part of improving dark spots.

The video also covers why constantly trying new skincare products can backfire, how irritation can worsen hyperpigmentation, why picking and squeezing acne can lead to darker marks, and why caution is needed with at-home microneedling and IPL devices.

Dr. Dray also discusses the rationale behind the Kligman formula and Tri-Luma, including why fluocinolone acetonide is combined with hydroquinone and tretinoin, and how its anti-inflammatory properties can help limit irritation while contributing to the overall treatment approach.

Finally, the video explains why sun protection is essential for hyperpigmentation and melasma, including the potential benefits of tinted sunscreens containing iron oxides for visible light protection.

Topics covered

• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and ongoing inflammation
• Hyperpigmentation after acne and eczema
• PIH in darker skin tones
• Why inflammation may be difficult to see
• Acne maintenance treatment and dark spots
• Eczema, contact dermatitis and rosacea
• Skincare irritation and hyperpigmentation
• Picking and squeezing acne
• At-home microneedling risks
• At-home IPL and hyperpigmentation
• Kligman formula and Tri-Luma
• Hydroquinone, tretinoin and fluocinolone
• Tinted sunscreen and iron oxides
• Visible light and hyperpigmentation
• How to prevent worsening dark spots

17:50 Final Takeaway

If you're struggling with stubborn hyperpigmentation, acne dark spots, melasma, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, this video explains why treating pigment alone may not always address the underlying problem.

The key takeaway is that clear-looking skin does not always mean that inflammatory activity has completely resolved. Consistent treatment of the underlying skin condition, avoiding unnecessary irritation and trauma, and diligent sun protection can all play an important role in managing hyperpigmentation.

How often should you wash your face? Dermatologist Dr. Dray explains how often to cleanse your skin, whether you really need to wash your face twice a day, and what happens when you cleanse too much.

In this video, Dr. Dray discusses face washing, skin cleansing, the skin barrier, dry skin, sensitive skin, oily skin, acne-prone skin, and nighttime skincare. She also addresses a common skincare misconception: you do not necessarily need to wash off everything you applied the night before.

Should you wash off moisturizer in the morning? What about petroleum jelly? Do you need to wash off tretinoin? And does cleansing twice a day actually improve your skin?

Dr. Dray explains when twice-daily cleansing may be beneficial, when once-daily evening cleansing may be enough, and how factors such as oil production, acne, sweating, sunscreen, makeup, eczema, dryness, and skin sensitivity can influence your ideal cleansing routine.

She also explains how harsh cleansers, hot water, excessive washing, scrubbing, and abrasive cleansing tools can contribute to skin barrier disruption, dryness, irritation, and sensitivity.

In this video:

0:00 Introduction
0:25 What does cleansing actually do?
2:21 Who benefits most from washing twice a day?
4:21 What about normal, dry, or sensitive skin?
5:55 How the skin barrier changes the equation
7:36 Do you need to wash off nighttime skincare?
9:43 What about tretinoin and other retinoids?
10:48 Why sunscreen makes nighttime cleansing important
11:40 What if you work out in the morning?
12:33 How to tell if you're cleansing too much
14:25 Final takeaway
15:49 Outro

Dr. Dray also discusses why more cleansing is not necessarily better, why the evening cleanse is often the most important cleanse for dry or sensitive skin, and how to build a cleansing routine that supports rather than disrupts the skin barrier.
