Those silly derm terms...

Sometimes derm terms are a little confusing...

Ringworm is not from a worm.

You can't contract Lyme disease from margaritas.

Cafe au lait spots are not caused by downing too many mochaccinos.

Molluscum contagiosum has nothing to do with escargot. (Have no idea what that is? Just wait until you have kids!)

Similarly, chickenpox is not from poultry.

Ain't nothing funny about laugh lines. Or frown lines. Or crow's feet - which are not from birds.

Spider veins do not mean arachnids are living on you.

Cherry angiomas can not be purchased in the produce aisle.

I could go on and on...
