Product Proposal/Calendar

Introduction and Purpose of Product:

When we started talking about our original work, I had no idea what I wanted to do. I had

no where to start, there is just so much to talk about when it comes to Dermatology. However,

when I did my research assessments over the five most common skin conditions, they all had

something in common. They all had medications that had mild to severe side effects. The topic

that interest me the most was, acne because of accutane. Accutane is a very strong medication

that treats serious cases of acne. This made me want to do a case study over a person who is

taking accutane and observe if they have any of the side effects. But, to me, this case study was

not going to benefit anyone or help anyone. As a dermatologist, I want to help everyone that I

will encounter and help them feel comfortable in their own skin.

My original work will be a “​How To Take Care of Your Skin, plus more”. ​I chose to do a

how to video because the people I’m surrounded by always ask me what they should do for their

skin and the best products for them. This video will have information that is easy to understand

by the watcher and it will be very interactive. This video will also include tips and tricks on how

to care for their specific type of skin condition/skin type. This project will hopefully benefit all

of the people will watch this and they will get one or two things out of this video. This video will

answer some of the most asked questions when it comes to skin, day/night time routines,

moisturiser, sunscreen, etc.


Review of Skills and Research

Before I began to shadow Dr. Dharamsi, my knowledge of skin conditions was very

limited to acne and eczema from personal experiences. I only knew the names of some of the

most common skin conditions. However, after one mentor visit with her, I learned more about

skin conditions. While shadowing Dr. Dharamsi, I learned about ​the causes and symptoms of

conditions such as: seborrheic keratosis, actinic keratosis, sebaceous hyperplasia, psoriasis, acne,

rosacea,basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, lentigines, cherry angiomas,

and many more skin conditions. The first day I shadowed Dr. Dharamsi, she did many procedure

to remove basal/squamous cell carcinoma and precancerous moles. She explained how one could

identify a melanoma. The ABCDEs of Melanoma:

● Asymmetry/Abnormal -- One side of the lesion does not look like the other.

● Border irregularity -- Margins may be notched or irregular.

● Color -- Melanomas are often a mixture of black, tan, brown, blue, red, or white.

● Diameter -- Cancerous lesions can be larger than 6 mm across (about the size of a pencil

eraser), although with early detection they will not reach this size.

● Evolution -- has a mole changed over time?

She uses this when she completes her full body examinations.

To have a better understanding of Dermatology, Dr. Dharamsi gave ,e access to an online

Dermatology Tech Program (DermTech). While completing this program, there were a little

more than 40 Dermatology videos that explained anything in Dermatology from Acne to

Antihistamines to iPledge to Cosmetic Dermatology. To become a Certified Dermatology Tech, I


had to watch each video (and take notes for my own benefit) and complete the post-module tests.

Watching the videos and doing the post-module tests, has given me a better knowledge of

Dermatology. Now that I’ve finished this program, I hope to put all of the knowledge that I have

acquired from the program to use while shadowing Dr. Dharamsi. Such as speaking to the

patients, charting their History of PResent Illness (HPI). I will compile all the knowledge I’ve

learned from the program, Dr. Dharamsi and research assessments.

Methodology

1. At first I wanted to do a case study over one of my friends because he is on accutane.

However, my idea for my original work changed after our Winter Showcase.

2. I presented my new original work idea to Mr. Pirtle and he approved it. He also gave an

audience I should target for this video.

3. I brainstormed which topics and the order that they would be addressed in.

a. I will also have detailed descriptions of each skin condition addressed in the

video.

4. I brought the idea to Dr. Dharamsi and she also suggested which topics should be

addressed. I also informed her that I will be interviewing her to get her expertise on these

topics.

5. I will find at least 3-5 friends/family member with the skin conditions that will be in my

video, to interview and ask them about their routines.

a. First I must write up interview questions tailored to each skin condition and skin

type.
6. Once the interview questions are written out and I have people to interview, I will need

the help of someone in my ISM who is good at filming and editing.

7. Find a venue to conduct interviews of friends/family. I could probably ask Dr. Dharamsi

if I could use her office, if not, a place which is well lit.

8. After the interviews with friends/family, I will interview Dr. Dharamsi. I will have her

address the topics in my video and what she would recommend to people with those skin

conditions and how to keep their skin healthy.

9. When I have all the footage, I will try to help my classmate edit it and add any final

details, images, music and giving credit to those who helped and who were apart of the

video.

10. When the video is almost complete, I will present the video to my mentor, Mr. Pirtle, my

peers in ISM, and those who were involved in the video in order to get constructive

criticism and feedback.

11. After the constructive criticism and feedback, we will finalize all the details of the video

and publish it to either YouTube or if possible, my digital portfolio.

12. I will have my ​How To Take Care of Your Skin, plus more ​ready to showcase for Final

Presentation Night for my audience.

Materials:

➔ Camera (Josie Prescott)

➔ Microphone

➔ Script (interview questions)


➔ Sample products for each skin condition (Dr. Dharamsi)

Conclusion

This will be a very time consuming and tedious task, but I know the outcome of this

video will be amazing. When I present this video to my friends, family members and at Final

Presentation night, I hope everyone will take something from the video.

Through the creation of my “​How To Take Care of Your Skin, plus more”​ video, I am

hoping to gain more knowledge of these skin conditions and how people with them take care of

their skin along with basic skincare for people who don’t have these skin conditions. This video

will give a better insight into the lives of people with these conditions. The video is intended to

be viewed by family and friends at the Final Presentation Night and by the people who visit

Legacy Dermatology in Frisco,TX. I also hope that this video will be useful to others who may

stumble upon it.
