| San Diego Dermatologist Voted Best Doctor In La Jolla Light's 2007 Reader's Poll
Being voted a Best Doctor means a lot to Dr. Susan Stuart, because it means that when it comes to skin care, the San Diego dermatologist is doing something right. La Jolla, CA (PRWEB) November 8, 2007 -- The reality is Susan Stuart, M.D. didn't just do something right in 2007. She has a track record of doing everything right, beginning with her undergraduate education at Duke University where she was elected into Phi Beta Kappa, a prestigious academic honor bestowed upon but a small fraction of undergrads who achieve the highest standards of scholarship. She didn't stop there, going on to receive her M.D. from Tulane University School of Medicine. Success built upon success, and she soon completed a one-year dermatology research fellowship at San Diego's Mercy Hospital Medical Center.
Excessive hair growth, part 2
HAIR GROWTH in excess that begins during menarche (onset of menstruation), and then increases slowly and steadily in the teens and twenties should be evaluated for possible polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). On the other hand, more severe musculinization such as frontal balding and clitoromegaly may imply substantial androgen excess and usually indicates a cause other than PCOS. Those with problems in menstruation should be more concerned for something more serious if there is greater disruption in their monthly periods. Also, many patients with hirsutism are overweight. This worsens the underlying androgen excess and insulin resistance and makes treatment ineffective. In really severe overweight problems, additional skin problems like thickening and velvety skin discoloration may also appear.
