In this episode of I Did My Own Research, Dr. Fran sits down with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Mary McDaniel to unpack some of the biggest skincare and dermatology myths circulating online. They discuss sunscreen safety, beef tallow, Accutane, acne “root causes,” questionable gut and allergy testing, hair-loss supplements, and the risks of high-dose biotin.

They also talk about medical misinformation, the responsibility physicians have on social media, and why being honest about what medicine doesn’t know is just as important as sharing what we do.
