Dermatologist Calls Out The Body Parts People Need To Do A Better Job Of Cleaning

Dermatologist and TikToker Lindsey Zubritsky pointed out several body parts that need to receive some extra attention while you're in the shower.

Dermatologist Lindsey Zubritsky is known on TikTok for her helpful skincare advice and for answering questions people have about skin issues. She recently talked about the places she has noticed people don't wash as often, or as well, as they should.

The culprits? Behind your ears, in your bellybutton, and under your nails. Each of these areas, Zubritsky noted, are easily forgotten and can lead to complications that can make you sick. Build up behind the ears can cause flaking, and unwashed belly buttons can form "omphaloliths," or naval stones.


But the big one to worry about, she said, is MRSA.

"If you keep getting bacterial infections on the skin—folliculitis—you could be a colonizer of MRSA in those areas."

MRSA is "Multi-Drug resistant Staphalococcus Aureus," a gnarly infection that can be skin deep, or can wreak havoc once it's inside your system, impervious to the effects of many antibiotics.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.

State Department Slammed After Requiring Visa Applicants To Make All Social Media Posts Public For Vetting

The State Department is facing harsh criticism after it announced that anyone applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa will need to disclose all social media profiles from the last five years, requiring that all applicants set their posts to public so they can be properly vetted by its agents.

The agency said the new rules are part of a new screening process aimed at identifying individuals who may pose a threat to U.S. national security. According to the department, failure to comply could result in a denial, and consular officers have been instructed to flag signs of “hostility” toward the U.S.—though the criteria for such determinations remain vague.
