My Blog
The skin is the largest organ in the body. Looking for a place to learn more about this organ? You're just in the right place.This blog (run by an actual dermatologist) gives you an insight into the common dermatological conditions and some health tips about other medical conditions.
It's not just about health...we'll also be chipping in life lessons, mentoring, humor and some relationship talk.
It will be an interactive blog and I promise to respond to all your comments and questions...but note that the blog is not for diagnosis or consultation.
You are welcome! Sit back and enjoy the ride.
"Consultation with Dr. Gold-Olufadi really saved my skin, honestly, if I had known, my first skin issue experience, I'd have reached out to her before my sojourn to different aestheticians.
My first experience with Dr. Gold was very welcoming and calming though virtual, I felt the warmth and it eased me despite that I had gone months searching for solutions to the sudden unrecognized breakouts and itchiness I felt all over my face, neck, chest, and back. I remember crying uncontrollably because I had never experienced such and Dr. Gold kept reassuring me that everything was going to be fine and in less than a month, my skin was back to normal, just had to deal with the hyperpigmentation which also resolved with the treatment she recommended. Fast forward to 5 months after I left Nigeria, I started noticing quite similar symptoms with reduced itchiness, I sensed the same issue was back and I met with dermatologists who were also confused, I knew I had to schedule an appointment with Dr Gold before it got worse who liaised with her colleague on the Outpost site and once again, she saved my skin.
My favourite part of consulting with Dr Gold is her thorough explanations, her responsiveness to the questions I had and the emails I sent, they were really welcoming and reassuring. I can say without a doubt that she's definitely a Dr whose name is etched on my heart! "

"In 2019, I had a virtual consultation with Dr Gold. I was struggling with some welt-like rash on my skin. Dr Gold-Olufadi patiently clerked me, listened to my symptoms, took some history, and instructed me on how I should capture the images of the skin area and send them to her.
Though she would later tell me she had an idea what the issue was when we started to talk, she still took time to professionally take in every detail. She recommended a topical wash, and it was almost magical as the rash was cleared in 2 days.
Dr Gold-Olufadi is experienced, thorough, passionate, and very brilliant at what she does. I have since gone on to recommend her to family and friends who returned with glowing testimonials. "

"Thanks to Skinandall, I finally got a prescription that works. I struggled with recurrent fungal infections which caused painful blisters on my foot, but everything looks perfect now. I appreciate Skinandall for being very professional and thorough."

"I had a virtual consultation with Dr Shakirat for a worrisome skin rash that I'd never had or seen before. She made me feel very at ease, allayed my fears by explaining that it appeared much more dramatic than it was and explained ways to manage my symptoms while it would fade away on its own in a few weeks. I felt calmer and more assured from speaking to her and appreciated her simple, practical, no nonsense advice. I highly recommend her services."

I was on my period” was the excuse I used to convince myself when the acne on my face started.
For someone who has had an acne free face over 2years I was not bothered .
Days turned into weeks and weeks into months then I became worried but still shrugged it off until I posted a picture on a sunny afternoon and my brother asked “ what is wrong with your face” .
My brother is the least person I would expect to notice a change in my skin.
The following day I went for a dress fitting and I alooked into this full mirror at my Tailor’s then I knew this was alarming.
I was sad, and felt so dejected. My brother said “ better call Dr Gold”
I knew nothing has changed in my routine, so I knew buying any skin care product was a big No❌.
I took my phone and did a video to show her the situation of my face. We hadn’t spoken in ages but I knew she was always one call away.
Boom she replied with a call and the medications I needed and even gave me the the list of near by pharmacies that I could get them.
I really hate medications, but I didn’t hate it for than the way my face was. I was so committed to using the medications and in less than 2 weeks .
The change was here. A real transformation of my face. It was all gone and that feeling of being confident came back. Everyone started telling me what did you use. “ I consulted with a dermatologist “ was my response”
The dermatologist is Dr Shakirat Ajoke Olufadi Gold. She sabi this work due🙌🏾🙌🏾"
