My Melasma Skincare Journey in Raleigh

When I started my melasma skincare journey in Raleigh, I didn’t realize how much time, education, and consistency it would take to achieve real results. Melasma — those frustrating patches of hyperpigmentation often caused by hormones, inflammation, or sun exposure — can feel impossible to manage.

Hidradenitis Suppurativa: My Story, Symptoms, and Treatments That Help Me

As the owner and lead esthetician at Smoothe & Co, skin health is not just my profession. It is my passion. But there is one skin condition I know on a deeply personal level: hidradenitis suppurativa (HS).

I have lived with hidradenitis suppurativa for many painful years. Also known as acne inversa, HS is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes painful, boil-like lumps under the skin. These lesions often appear in areas where skin rubs together. For me, that means flare-ups in my underarms, groin, and sometimes under the breasts. HS is not contagious, but it is life-changing, both physically and emotionally.
