Atopic Dermatitis Success Story
The word “Atopic” means there is a tendency for excess inflammation in the skin and linings of the nose and lungs. Atopic Dermatitis is very common in all parts of the world. It can occur at any age but is most common in infants to young adults. The skin rash is very itchy and can be widespread, or limited to a few areas.

Moon Fact
Escape velocity: To escape the Moon's gravity, you need to travel 5,200 miles (8,400 km) per hour, compared to 25,000 miles (40,200 km) per hour necessary to escape Earth's gravity. Earth's gravity is six times greater than the Moon's.


Restylane- Beautiful Lips
Restylane compliments BOTOX® Cosmetic in the elimination of unwanted facial lines and wrinkles. It can be used to treat frown lines, smile lines (crow's feet) around the eyes, lines on the cheeks along the nose, and lines around the mouth and in the lips for a more full appearance. The product is made of a natural, sugar-based, water absorbing gel (hyaluronic acid), found commonly in both plants and animals.


Special Skin Microscope
As a general rule of thumb, Dr. Crutchfield recommends that everyone have a baseline comprehensive skin examination at some point in their life. Based on the examination, your dermatologist will recommend how often you should have additional exams in the future. The most important thing is to get a prompt evaluation if you have a mole changing in any way (size, color, or shape) or any spot on your skin that bleeds and does not heal in three weeks (without provocation). Also, any person who has had a melanoma should make sure that all of their first-degree relatives have a baseline skin examination. At Crutchfield Dermatology we are pioneers in the use of the revolutionary dermatoscope in the evaluation of suspicious moles. This allows Dr. Crutchfield to better see the inner structure of the mole, often times eliminating the need for an uncomfortable biopsy.


Crutchfield Dermatology in the Media
Because Dr. Crutchfield is the medical director of Crutchfield Dermatology and a clinical associate professor of dermatology at the University of Minnesota Medical School, he is often featured in newspapers and magazines and invited to participate in local television programs and news broadcasts.

Joke of the Month…because laughter is the best medicine
As the doctor completed an examination of the patient, he said, "I can't find a cause for your complaint. Frankly, I think it's due to drinking."

"In that case," said the patient, "I'll come back when you're sober."
