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.

Trump Gets U.S. Military Troops To Boo Democrats And 'Fake News' During Alarming Speech

Members of the military stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, erupted in boos when President Donald Trump goaded them during a speech in which he attacked former President Joe Biden, California Governor Gavin Newsom, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, and the "fake news" covering the ongoing protests in L.A. in response to the Trump administration's immigration raids.

The military has a longstanding tradition of remaining nonpartisan so it was striking that those in attendance, many of whom wore military fatigues, booed in the first place.
