And that’s why I’m DermDaddy®️

2025/8/22 Edited to

... Read moreIt's truly humbling to see so many of you connect with my content, and I often get asked about the person behind the 'DermDaddy' persona. I've seen the searches, the questions popping up, wondering, 'Is DermAngelo gay?' and a lot of curiosity about what makes me, well, *me*. And honestly, I love that you feel comfortable enough to ask! For me, authenticity is at the heart of everything I do. When I first started sharing my skincare insights, I knew I wanted to create a space that was not only informative but also genuine and relatable. That's why I embrace the 'DermDaddy' title – it’s a playful nod to being a guiding, knowledgeable, and sometimes a little sassy, figure in your skincare journey. It's about being approachable, making complex dermatological topics easy to understand, and having a bit of fun along the way. Part of being authentic means being open about who I am. So, to directly answer the question many of you have, yes, I am gay. It's a fundamental part of my identity, just like my passion for dermatology and my desire to help you achieve your best skin. I've always believed that sharing these personal aspects creates a stronger, more honest connection with my audience. It's not just about what products to use or what ingredients to avoid; it's about building a community where everyone feels seen and understood. When I reflect on the 'Reasons people follow me,' I realize it's a unique blend of solid, evidence-based skincare advice and my unfiltered personality. I'm not just a talking head; I'm a real person with a real life, and I bring that to my content. Whether it's a detailed breakdown of a new serum or a lighthearted reaction to a viral trend, I aim to infuse everything with a touch of my own humor and perspective. I've even seen funny snippets from my videos, like the one where I joked about 'I have medium sized boobs' – moments like that show I don’t take myself too seriously, but I am always serious about connecting with you all on a genuine, human level. My goal has always been to demystify skincare, make it accessible, and empower you to take control of your skin health. But beyond that, I hope to inspire a sense of self-acceptance and confidence. By being open about my identity and embracing my unique persona, I hope to show that you can be successful, knowledgeable, and still be completely yourself. Thank you for being part of this journey and for allowing me to share my truth with you. Let’s keep learning, laughing, and glowing together!

Aquaphor Healing Ointment isn’t just for post-biopsy or surgery care 👀 In derm, we use it all the time because it helps protect the skin barrier and creates the ideal environment for wound healing. Keeping skin moist (not dried out) can actually help wounds heal better and feel less irritated.
