Male pattern baldness isn't just a male problem, it impacts a lot of females too. And acne? Acne isn't just a problem for kids, adults can get it too. Especially if you spend too much time out in the sun, and if you combine it with alcohol and spicy food. Here's more with Dr. Scott Sears.

I got news for you. If you think that wearing a face mask is going to save you from COVID-19 (Coronavirus)- it won't. Plus, hear an incredible life-saving story out of Laurel, Montana by listening to our full interview with Dr. Scott Sears.
