Dermatologist Jinane El Khoury battles misinformation about skin conditions

by drawing illustrations on her tablet

and posting them on her social media accounts 'not.another.dermatologist'

(Jinane El Khoury, Dermatologist)

"I wanted to be, you know, the voice of a dermatologist telling them: wrinkles are okay, pores are okay and normal, having several colours on your face sometimes - I mean if it is not bothering you honestly, if it’s not something that is affecting your quality of life, it’s fine. I mean...you are beautiful just as you are."
