Save My Skin is a new TLC show that premiered in 2019, following the journeys of patients who struggle with different types of skin conditions, and the experienced dermatologist who helps them find solutions to their skin problems. The show stars Emma Craythorne, a dermatologist who runs a clinic in London, UK. Emma is joined by her medical assistant, Mottie, and her aesthetician, Rosie, as they take on some of the most difficult cases of skin problems.

Over the course of the series, the team encounters patients with different skin conditions such as severe acne, rosacea, eczema, and other rare skin disorders. Each episode focuses on a different patient, and the challenges they face in their daily life because of their skin condition. The team works diligently to analyze the root cause of each patient's condition, and to provide a personalized plan of treatment that caters to their specific needs.

Emma's approach to skin care is unique, as she strives to find holistic solutions that go beyond just topical treatments. She recognizes that the skin is a reflection of a person's overall health, and so she addresses the underlying causes of each condition, which may involve dietary changes, stress management, and supplementation. This holistic approach is refreshing, as it goes beyond just prescribing medication and supports the patient's overall physical and mental wellbeing.

One of the strengths of the show is the way it touches on the emotional impact that skin conditions have on patients. It is heartbreaking to see how many of them have been living with their condition for years, and have dealt with feelings of insecurity, shame, and anxiety as a result. Emma and her team are not only able to address the physical symptoms but also provide emotional support, helping patients regain their confidence and self-esteem.

The show also highlights some of the challenges that can arise when treating skin disorders. Some patients may not respond well to certain treatments, and the team may have to explore other options. In some cases, the condition may be too severe to treat completely, but the team still works with the patient to manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.

Overall, Save My Skin is a thoughtful and educational show that provides a glimpse into the world of dermatology. It sheds light on the struggles that individuals with skin conditions face and how those conditions can impact their lives. It highlights the importance of taking a holistic approach to skin care and working with a team of specialists to find the best treatment solution. The show is informative, heartwarming, and inspiring, and is sure to resonate with anyone who has ever struggled with a skin disorder.
